The tools we use to help you…
After spending many years as a Registered Nurse and still seeing my patients suffer from chronic illnesses, I dove into functional & complementary medicine and discovered a whole new world of new and ancient treatments that can be used to ease pain and suffering. I’m still thankful that I have a western medical background because I combine the best of both worlds when advising my clients.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. It is a gentle therapeutic method of assessing and balancing the body’s craniosacral system. This system is composed of the membranes and fluids which surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. A light, but focused, touch (approximately the weight of a nickel) is used to remove blockages, called restrictions, in the craniosacral system. Areas of restriction lead to decreased nerve transmission and circulation, then to symptoms of discomfort and pain. The craniosacral and nervous systems are connected to the rest of the body through connective tissue called fascia. These connections allow CranioSacral Therapy to affect distant areas and organ systems of the body, especially impacting the nervous, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and vascular systems.
What conditions does craniosacral therapy treat?
Because craniosacral therapy is so gentle, people of all ages can benefit from it. CST can help relieve:
- ADD/ADHD
