Perspective on Healing

- We are complex beings with interwoven physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. Thus, true healing must include meeting a person on all those levels.

- At the core of most problems that afflict us is a falling out of harmony with our soul, our essential nature. Thus, at the core of healing, is a reconnection to that source.
​

​- Each person, as every living being, possesses an internal wisdom and an innate healing ability. A healing encounter must be connected to and guided by that wise source.

Background
My healing work is informed by my rich and multidimensional background and life. Prior to manual therapy I have studied and explored  clinical psychology, holistic health, healing through creative and ceremonial arts, yoga & dance. I am grateful to have received my education in massage therapy from De Anza College, CA, and my on-going studies in Craniosacral therapy from Upledger Institute, where I have been fortunate to study with some of the leaders in this field. Additionally, I have a rich background in ceremonial, shamanic, and energy healing, with teachers and guides both in this dimension and in places only seen with the inner eye.
My presence and work are also deeply rooted in my own daily practice of self-cultivation through Sundo, the transformative style of Qi-Gong I have come to teach, and a committed spiritual path. I am a firm believer that a healer can only help one go as far as they themselves have gone. So regular self-care through hiking, Martial Arts, Qi-Gong, dancing, and regular introspection and connection with Spirit are essential for me.
In my work as a healer I draw on all those experiences, and, most importantly, on the innate healing ability of those I am honored to work with.
​I have been in private practice in Santa Cruz, CA, since April 2016.

 Craniosacral Work

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle manual therapy that helps release restrictions from the very core of our system. The therapist gently tunes in and examines the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid and the elasticity of the associated membrane system that supports the central nervous system, the mobility of the cranial bones, and the body-wide response to the craniosacral rhythm. The treatment then involves releases of all those structures as found appropriate, as well as any other region of the body that exhibits signs of stagnation or trauma.
The client will usually experience a very deep relaxation shortly into the first session. A series of sessions are indicated in most cases where a health problem is being addressed. Many people also enjoy Craniosacral therapy as a preventive treatment - a way to stay relaxed and in-tune with one's inner truth. While most of the time people feel wonderful after sessions, minor temporary discomfort may be experienced as part of the healing process due to the release of complex restriction patterns and emotions that the body has been holding for some time. When we shake up old sediment, the water may appear murky, before it settles into a clearer and healthier way of being... Of course, I am always available to answer any questions and support your individual healing process.

The effects of this therapy are many, and are often deep. It has been found beneficial in a very wide array of health problems, including depression, anxiety, headaches, chronic pain, TMJ dysfunction, spinal problems, physical and emotional trauma, PTSD, fibromyalgia, and more. It is also highly beneficial to generally boost the immune system, help reverse the effects of prolonged stress, and re-establish a sense of connection to one's soul. It is safe for all stages of life, including all stages of pregnancy, as well as postpartum care. During Craniosacral work, I may employ a combination of light touch, guided imagery, and dialoguing to help you get to the core of your health concern and goals for wellness. 

Craniosacral therapy would be highly beneficial to almost anyone, but you particularly may want to consider it for:

-symptoms that are chronic and have been resistant to other treatments
-emotional or physical trauma
-accumulation of tension, so common in our modern world (often manifesting as irritability, insomnia, fatigue, inflamation)
-children and teens affected by Autism, ADHD, depression, difficulty sleeping
-finding the emotional and soul roots of a difficult and possibly life-threatening diagnosis
- release of suppressed emotions (this process can often lead to significant improvements in physical health)
-expansion of consciousness, including connection with spiritual guides, ancestral healing, past-life healing
