A GENTLE PATH TO BALANCE & HEALING

Your body is holding that tension for a reason. My job is to find it.

CranioSacral Therapy is not massage, and it will not look like much from the outside. I work with roughly five grams of pressure, about the weight of a nickel, following the membranes and connective tissue that wrap your brain, your spinal cord, and every muscle you own. That tissue keeps a record: old injuries, surgeries you forgot about, the way you have sat at a desk for eleven years, the posture you adopted when something frightened you. With slow, sustained contact, that tissue changes tone, and your nervous system stops standing guard over a threat that ended long ago.

What you notice is quieter than you expect. Your breath drops lower in your ribs. A shoulder you have been protecting since a fall years ago stops protecting. Sometimes the pain you came in with moves before it leaves, which tells me something useful about where it actually started.

I came to this work through reading Dr. John Upledger's papers, including his work drawing on Einstein's theory of relativity. I hold an M.S. in Exercise Science, Biomechanics, and Psychology from the German Sport University in Cologne, and I am a Diplomate Certified Upledger CranioSacral Therapist (CST D). Over twenty years later, both halves show up in the room. I can tell you how your pelvis is loading when you walk across my office, and I can stay still long enough for the part of you that doesn’t want to let go of it.

People come to me with pain that imaging cannot always explain, with headaches and jaw tension, with concussion and whiplash histories, with restriction that settled in after surgery, or with the specific exhaustion of managing a neurological condition. Others arrive without a diagnosis at all and say some version of "I feel stuck in my body."

You might recognize yourself here

• Headaches and clean imaging.

• TMJ pain.

• Neck pain that returns days after every adjustment.

• A fall, a crash, a concussion you never shook.

• Low back pain that outlasted physical therapy.

• Scar tissue that pulls.

• Sleep that never gets deep.

• Dizziness or ear ringing no one can explain.

• No diagnosis. Still something off.
