Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a hands on approach that involves "listening with the fingers" to the body's subtle rhythms and patterns of inertia and congestion.  The emphasis of treatment is to encourage and enhance the body's own self healing and self regulating capabilities. The work is very gentle and non-invasive.  Subtle suggestions are introduced through the practitioner's hands to help restore balance in areas that have been affected by inertia.  Common causes of inertia are physical injuries, emotional and psychological stresses, birth trauma and toxicity.

As a result of unresolved inertia, events can be imprinted in the tissues like a video-tape which may keep replaying whenever stimulated.  The body is an expression of our health, history and conditioning.  The therapeutic process of the practitioner can become a reflective mirror for the client and their potential for change.  The practitioner can assist the body to resolve patterns of disorder by encouraging a revitalizaion of tissues of the healing forces from within.


Polarity Therapy is a comprehensive health system involving energy based bodywork, diet, exercise and self-awareness.  It works with the Human Energy Field, electromagnetic patterns expressed in mental, emotional and physical experience.  In Polarity, health is viewed as a reflection of the condition of the energy field, and therapeutic methods are designed to balance the field for health benefit.

Good health is experienced when energy systems function in their natural state and when energy flows smoothly without significant blockage or fixation.  When energy is unbalanced, blocked, or fixed due to stress or other factors, pain and disease can arise.  Blockages generally manifest from the subtle to the dense levels of the energy field.  The Polarity practitioner assesses the energy pattern using palpation, observation and interview methods.

Clients may feel subtle energetic sensations, which are often experienced as tingling, warmth, or wave-like movement.  Polarity sessions may vary from person to person and may include deep relaxation, new insight into energetic patterns and implications and relief from specific problematic situations.

Some conditions that commonly respond well:

• back/neck/shoulder pain
• sinusitis
• menstrual pain
• sciatica
• birth trauma
• insomnia
• headaches
• pre-op/post-op procedures/surgeries
• depression/anxiety
• stress related disorders

Sessions usually take 60 to 90 minutes.  Treatments are performed fully clothed although loose fitting and comfortable clothes made of natural fiber are recommended.  Polarity and Craniosacral therapy involves both touch and verbal communication.
