Craniosacral Therapy

I am a Registered Massage Therapist with a speciality in Craniosacral Therapy. I have been a practitioner for over 20 years and have provided tens of thousands of appointments. That is A LOT of collective knowledge. 

 

When I was a college student I suffered from very bizarre neurological symptoms that were a year later diagnosed as hemiplegic migraines; rare, severe and on-going; at that time they were only subdued with medication. When you open the door of understanding that there is knowledge that doesn't come directly from a medical doctor, you can find other supportive modalities. I was introduced to Craniosacral Therapy and SIX Craniosacral treatments later,  I. Was. Healed.

​

My career path quickly went from studying for LSATS and planning for law school, to healing people. These two paths could not have been further from each other and yet I feel this was meant to do this work.  I will tell you my dirty little secret... I still miss law 22 years later.  I enjoy going to my lawyers office to go sign documents, I miss going to court, I miss the hustle of a huge firm, watching the legal students research cases, and I would have been a killer prosecutor but not enough to give up my career that is happy and never feels like a "job".

 

As far back into my childhood I clearly remember feeling everyone's "stuff"- not just people's emotions but animals as well. I remember my dad telling me when I was in elementary school that I was a healer and how that made me uncomfortable because I did not see myself on that path; and yet here I am performing body magic and loving every second of it. 

​

I have trained in many modalities in the last 21 years. The title RMT really doesn't encompass my knowledge, skill set, or experience. RMT is a stepping stone to vast learning opportunities available in many healing arts; I can say the same goes for my yoga teaching career. I have trained in programs for special populations, studied with some amazing leaders, and was teaching yoga in Alberta 20 years ago before it was common and mainstream. Yoga is a conduit for healing; and is often integrated into my remedial exercises, and treatment plans. 

​

The more I study, the more aware I am that the body is complicated and willing to heal. By asking the simple words, "what do you need?", the body responds in a totally unique way. It is almost as if being asked the question is validating everything it has been trying to tell you;  by feeling pain, symptoms, fatigue, anxiety and so forth. What I have learned  by asking the body this question is that it is not asked enough, and by asking I can access healing on a deeper level.
