Services

Biodynamic Craniosacral Sessions

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle and effective hands-on therapy for people of all ages that facilitates the body’s natural ability to heal. We collaborate with our clients to identify areas of tension and compensation, and to work with them to restore a state of ease and a sense of well-being. It is especially beneficial for babies and mothers before and after birth. Patients commonly report experiencing deep relaxation, pain relief, and a sense of well-being.

Infant Developmental Movement Education

Infant Developmental Movement Education: 1:1 or small group sessions with you and your infant (0-walking) on what to expect and how to support your infant’s developmental milestones.

Craniosacral Baby Bodywork

Craniosacral Baby Bodywork classes are a fun, simplified, and approachable way to deepen your bond with your baby, encourage digestion, relieve their tummy upsets, support better sleep patterns, boost immune system, and learn to understand your baby’s non-verbal cues in just 10 minutes with your baby every single day. It’s also a great forum in which to meet other parents and learn from your shared experiences. Classes are informal, relaxed and small enough to ensure that you are comfortable and that you are given the personal attention you need.

“The mind is like the wind and the body like the sand: if you want to know how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand.”

From Our Blog

Touch and Its Healing Effects on Body, Mind, and Spirit

I am continually drawn to the profound, yet often overlooked, science of touch.

Chronic Pain Recovery and the Body-Mind-Spirit Connection

Have you ever noticed that pain is never just in the body?

Supporting Infants and Families

The early days, weeks, and months of life are filled with wonder, adaptation, and just as often, uncertainty.

Support Precedes Development

Before there is growth, there is settling. Before there is change, there is stability. Before we can move, we must yield.

The Tao Of Touch

Long before speech, as infants, we communicate through the sense of warmth and pressure of a caregiver’s hand.

How Stress Affects Healing

Weathering refers to the cumulative biological wear and tear that results from chronic exposure to social, economic, and environmental stressors.

Headaches, TMJ, and Tension

Many of you have shared stories with me of awakening with pressure across the forehead or a feeling of familiar tightness at the base of the skull and jaw.

Working to Reduce Chronic Pain

I just needed that sense of safety and healing for my nervous system to modulate and my engine to purr.

Embodiment For Recovery

Recovery—whether from illness, stress, injury, or surgery—rarely happens in a straight line. Instead, it ebbs and flows, inviting us to listen more closely to the subtle cues of our bodies and hearts.

Quiet Power of Interstitial Fluid

This fluid serves as the conduit for nutrient delivery, waste removal, immune communication, and, perhaps most importantly, connection between all the cells in our bodies.
