My training and experience include working on a myofascial and subtle (craniosacral) level with various organs and tissues in the body. This means that we can work directly with the muscular tissue of the organs, and release adhesions around the stomach, intestines, uterus or bladder, for example.

Craniosacral techniques are most commonly understood as applied to the cranial bones of the skull, and the layers of tissue around the spinal cord, however, they can also be applied to the organs’ inherent movement patterns.

It is common to experience emotional release with this style of treatment. I am not trained as a somatic therapist, and I will not provoke or encourage an emotional release to occur. My approach is to offer a compassionate space where everything is welcome, but it is primarily patient-guided, meaning you may or may not choose to share any aspect of your experience. My intention is to provide a safe container for you to experience yourself in this sacred way.

Some patients prefer a full craniosacral session, in which case the patient remains fully clothed and we go on a parasympathetic deep dive into listening to the tissues of your body and what they may be telling you.

Others prefer a relaxation massage with 20-30 minutes of specific organ work or craniosacral work woven in.

Another very complementary approach is adding acupuncture to a craniosacral treatment… my personal favourite!
