Energy work

Since 1998, I have served clients of all ages from prenatal to elderly. The holistic techniques that I practice support and strengthen the body's natural ability to self-heal. I collaborate with each client to explore relaxation, peak performance, and wellbeing. I coordinate with medical and therapeutic teams to decrease intensity, frequency, and duration of extremes. When your needs are met, you have more to offer.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

CST is a light-touch manual therapy that gently restores movement and balance. It evaluates and enhances the function of structures surrounding the central nervous system. With its grounded approach, it is a profoundly relaxing way to nourish the whole person. It attunes to the tissues of the body to decompress, sooth, and release pain and integrate the effects of injury and trauma. CST supports the innate ability to self-care, which improves coping mechanisms for stress management. CST complements other bodywork, methods, therapies, and medical care. It is gentle and effective for prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric developmental stages, and has been increasingly sought to help a wide range of problems.

High Performance Neurofeedback (HPN)

Neurofeedback can train the brain to work more effectively by optimizing brainwaves. HPN is an innovative brain-based biofeedback that can softly regulate the nervous system. The brain constantly grows in response to experience. Brainwave balance can increase neuroplasticity, the brain's power to change itself based on experience. The brain can learn and retain skills and habits of higher functioning and lower hyperarousal. Health is deeply linked to how safe we feel. A state of calm focus improves the brain's strength, flexibility, coping skills, self-awareness, and receptivity to further important healthcare.

I holistically support individuals of all ages seeking relaxation and wellbeing including:

  • Peak performance for the arts, academics, sports, meditation, and leadership
  • First responders, health professionals, military
  • Caregiver burnout
  • Prenatal and postpartum
  • Infant and pediatric
  • Major life events and transitions
  • Concussion / traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Post-concussion syndrome / persistent concussion symptoms (PCS)
  • Suspected chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)
  • Trauma, post-traumatic stress, developmental trauma, PTSD, CPTSD
  • Depression, anxiety, hypervigilance, mood swings, irritability
  • Headaches, migraine
  • Stroke rehabilitation
  • TMJ/bruxism
  • Developmental delay, ADD/ADHD
  • Sensory processing and autism spectrum
  • Exhaustion, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, fibromyalgia
  • Insomnia
  • Inflammation
  • Post-surgery, pre-surgery
  • And more
