In 2022 I attended levels 1 and 2 of CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute. I am drawn to this profoundly relaxing modality as it requires me to be deeply tuned in to my client and to employ a sensitive, subtle touch. This work focuses on releasing fascial restrictions within the craniosacral system, guiding the central nervous system into a state of deep relaxation. This facilitates the body's innate ability to self-correct and heal. Gentle pressure and patience often give rise to extraordinary results. I continue to explore Upledger's advanced CST classes, particularly Somato Emotional Release. 

Goals for CranioSacral Therapy:

• Help reduce stress and anxiety
• Calm the central nervous system
• Relieve pain and tension in head & neck
• Improve spinal mobility
• Decrease tension in Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
• Relieve pain and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia

What some clients are saying:

"Craniosacral Therapy was new to me. It's a standardized practice that finds and releases fascia tension in the body. You remain clothed during this gentle treatment while Rachel lightly places her hands along your body to sense problem areas. It really works! I often leave visits more relaxed and refreshed than after a massage. Something I really like about it is the effects are subconcious--I don't have to think about or focus on anything specific while I'm there. And the benefit "absorbs" even after I leave without me having to do anything."
