Hello! I offer Craniosacral Healing + Somatoemotional Release with Somatic based yoga and movement practices. This is a powerful combination for releasing holding patterns in the body and mind, and building resilience. I am passionate about supporting others of all ages, through various walks of life holistically – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our thoughts affect our emotions, which affects our bodies and our actions, affecting our daily lives. In turn, our daily actions can also impact our bodies, minds, and emotions. I look forward to working with you, and being able to offer you simple tools to incorporate into your daily life for greater balance, peace + joy!

For more information, you can visit my site or follow me on IG: https://craniosacralhealingvancouver.com/ @craniosacralhealing

Craniosacral and Somatoemotional Release Craniosacral uses light touch to address the body holistically – integrating the physical, emotional and spiritual. Physically, the practitioner can feel the flow of the Craniosacral fluid, feel the fascial patterns, holdings, and misalignments. Combined with intuitive capability, and anatomical knowledge (fascia, muskuloskeletal, organs (meridians), and nervous systems), we support you in releasing and creating greater balance within.

Throughout our lives, the body subconsciously holds physical and emotional trauma (unprocessed events), which present as chronic or acute conditions. Somatoemotional release is an intuitive practice, whereby the practitioner guides the client into the body to help physically and or verbally release holding patterns, often showing up as limiting beliefs and chronic health concerns.

Craniosacral + Somatoemotional Release can help with the following: ~ Infant sleep, latching, digestion, colic, and ear infections ~ Healing physical + emotional trauma from birth, injuries, concerns accumulated over life, limiting personal beliefs ~ Emotional balancing, including aiding anxiety, depression, phobias + PTSD ~ Acute concerns – whiplash, injury, range of motion etc ~ Chronic concerns – immune, fatigue, digestion, sleep, TMJ, migraines, cysts, arthritis ~ Organ, Chakra and Meridian balancing + healing ~ Fertility concerns + Prenatal anxiety and discomfort
