FAQs
Q. Is Craniosacral Therapy similar to Massage? Answer, Yes, similar in the sense that we put your hands on your body, but not because we only use less than 5 grams (weight of a nickel) for pressure on your body when doing the techniques.
Q. Is it just the head you work on? Answer, No, CST works the whole body. However, most of the work is done on the head, spine, and sacrum.
Q. Can I keep my clothes on? Absolutely! The goal is to have you feel comfortable so that the body can relax. You will be on a massage table, so from yoga pants to jeans. However, with jeans I ask for no belts because it could be a restriction to palpate your Craniosacral rhythm.
My Healing Journey
I've been on a health journey after having my first seizure in the fall of 2011. I was diagnosed with brain cancer. Having had brain surgery in 2012 and 2021, undergoing the treatment process under the care of my team of Surgeons, Oncologists, and Neurologists. I've since learned healthy stress, diet, and Craniosacral Therapy are critical to the healing process. Whether cancer, autoimmune disease, or anxiety in general. Craniosacral helps create space in my body so that the organs, spine, and body can self-correct. I love knowing that I can help someone alleviate their pain, whether chronic or a recent injury.
About Me
Academic Training and Professional Skill
I graduated from Baylor University in 2008 with a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in Philosophy. In 2012, with the encouragement of a dear friend and Craniosacral Practitioner, I enrolled in Upledger Craniosacral Classes. I took Craniosacral 1 in 2012, 2016, and 2018. I completed CST 2 in 2019. I trained in Equine Craniosacral Therapy in 2017.
The Present
I love what I do and consider it a privilege to work with people and their bodies. The same goes for horses. I love to give back what they have given me, physical and emotional support, in and out of the riding arena. I love to see the difference one session can make.
Relax and Rejuvenate with Balanced body and soul
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage often called a relaxation massage. I use long, smooth strokes, kneading, and circular movements on the topmost layer of muscles to promote relaxation.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscles and connective tissue. I use slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the affected areas to alleviate pain and stiffness.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is for athletes who need to improve their performance or recover from an injury. I use a combination of tapotement stimulating and engaging the tissues, to stretching and post-event deep tissue work to help you reach your goals.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is designed to relieve the physical discomforts of pregnancy, such as back pain, shoulder, and neck pain. I use gentle techniques that are safe for both mom and baby.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is for those who need to feel unburdened and destressed. I use smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body to promote relaxation.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is ideal for those who need to unwind. I use essential oils derived from plants to enhance the massage experience and promote relaxation.
