Most people will experience some sort of trauma in their lifetime. Trauma is something that happens to you that feels too difficult to bear so we learn to quickly compartmentalize, minimize or numb it out. The obvious big ones are surviving an accident, natural disaster, illness, death of a loved one, abuse, end of a relationship or experiencing something you didn’t see coming. Going through trauma challenges and changes us and imprints itself on our nervous system and bodies. You can’t think your way out of trauma. It affects mood, sleep, appetite and relationships and can leave us stressed, depressed, anxious and unable to cope well with daily life. EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a powerful way to release the nervous system and regain a calm balance from within.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle treatment approach that may help a variety of conditions including chronic neck and back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, insomnia, anxiety and depression. CST treatment involves touch, as light as the weight of a nickel, on areas of the head, neck, and base of the spine. The practitioner is able to “listen” to subtle rhythmic patterns in the soft tissues and fluids surrounding the central nervous system and facilitate the body’s own healing powers to release tension. The client will often feel a sense of deep relaxation as the muscles and organs unwind and the bones of the head and spine subtly realign.
