Craniosacral Therapy

Feel lighter, clearer, and more relaxed on the deepest of levels.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch therapy that supports the release of stress and tension held within the tissues of the body, and promotes the balance of the central nervous system. I use gentle holds that assist the body to balance the bones and tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord. CST helps to release areas where the muscles are tight and where the joints, fluids, and organs are unable to move freely. It creates an ideal environment for the brain and spinal cord, which allows the nerves to communicate clearly and the body to self-correct and heal.

Note: CST is not a massage of the head and is actually quite different from what is typically thought of as massage. However, during sessions, I often use massage therapy techniques and Ayurvedic Facial Rejuvenation to help the facial tissues, scalp, and entire neck area relax more.

There is usually no oil or cream used during CST and you remain clothed during the session.

While some people do respond quite quickly to treatment, each person is unique and requires a unique protocol of treatment.

That being said, I find that most people experience a great shift in their wellbeing within 5 sessions and I offer a special package of 5 (60-minute treatments) for $390 for this reason. :)

I find that craniosacral therapy is especially beneficial for:

• women experiencing pregnancy discomfort
• infants and mothers recovering from birth
• chronic experiences of jaw pain, neck pain, back pain, or headaches
• anxiety, stress, or difficulty relaxing
• preparing for or recovering from surgery
• stress-related illnesses
• fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
• adjusting to major life changes

After session and when requested, I will share exercises that promote relaxation, balance, and shifts in how you understand and feel the body, which can help you to get a better sense of your body's relationship to stress, and more importantly, how you can support it in unwinding tension patterns and finding inner equilibrium.

Women's Circles & Meditation Groups in Santa Barbara & Avila Beach, CA

I feel honored to be hosting these gatherings that honor the truth of our being. My dear friend and teacher, Pamela Wilson, has given me her blessing to share this delightful work with you, and since 2012, I've been sharing in homes and at retreats.

Be led in feeling deeply at home in your own body and presence, resting within the present moment. These gatherings offer a space for caring for ourselves with silent and guided meditation, breathwork, and spontaneous discussion. Together, we relax, clear, and connect from our love.
