CranioSacral Therapy
The craniosacral system is comprised of the bones of the skull (cranium), the spinal column all the way down to the tailbone (sacrum), the cerebrospinal fluid and the membranes within the brain and spinal cord.
Since our bodies are essentially self-healing, able to recover from cuts, sprains, bruises, even a broken bone, I use Upledger-based techniques to find whatever restrictions are keeping the body from healing itself and gently encourage those restrictions to release.
SomatoEmotional Release
The body stores physical trauma in the tissues, but it also stores emotional trauma there. Sometimes a physical restriction will not release completely until any underlying emotional restriction is also released.
SomatoEmotional release is a client-directed technique for releasing, through imaging and dialoguing, whatever emotional component may be preventing healing.

Acupressure is a gentle technique used to enhance the flow of energy or Qi (pronounced "chee") in the body, helping the body activate its own recuperative abilities. Similar to but older than acupuncture, acupressure uses only light, firm pressure on various points on the meridians - no needles!
Balancing the energy flows between the brain, spinal cord and all the organs, this process can address specific conditions as well as improve overall health and vitality.

Zero balancing is designed to integrate body structure and energy. Since the bones are the densest structure in the body, I work to gently align the bones with the body's energy to enhance the client's physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
Using mostly my fingertips, I create fulcrums at joints and areas of blocked energy, allowing the tissues to release around the fulcrum and permit the energy back in.
Here's a video demonstration of how Zero Balancing works to improve the flow of energy in the body:
Qi Therapy/Qigong
Qi (pronounced "chee") is the life force energy that flows throughout our bodies in our acupuncture meridians or channels. Maintaining a balance of qi within our organs and bodies is essential for maintaining our health. When our qi is out of balance, we lack health.
I use light pressure on various points along the body to balance the energy in the meridians, moving qi into or out of an area as needed. I may also teach clients specific qigong exercises to enhance their health or increase their range of motion.
