Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle Touch
Profound Healing

Craniosacral Therapy is one of the more gentle yet powerful therapies. William Sutherland, an osteopathic practitioner in the early 1900’s, discovered that delicate manipulations and adjustments at the sutures of the cranium, sacrum, and tailbone released tension from the membranes of the entire system, allowing the body to self-correct. This modality uses light, fluid movements of the bones and tissues of the head, thorax, and hips to enhance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Imbalances are corrected in the central nervous system between the cranium and the sacrum, resetting the body’s natural healing potential. Craniosacral work can be done with the client clothed or unclothed. The benefits of treatment include improvement of nervous system function, reduction of stress, deep muscular relaxation, support of the immune system, and overall enhancement of health. A greater sense of calm, clarity, and connectedness are often experienced after a craniosacral session.

About Me

My explorations in embodiment, bodywork, massage, and Craniosacral therapies began in 1981. As one of the founders of Palo Alto Massage Therapy Center as well as Body Therapy Center School of Massage, I became a principal teacher, nationally certified in therapeutic massage and bodywork. I integrate conscious touch, breath, awareness, and embodied attention in my sessions to facilitate deep physiological and psychological healing states. My career over 40 years has led me with devotion, to concentrate my passion for healing into a dedicated private practice in Craniosacral Therapy.
