Services
Polyvagal Therapy
This therapy focuses on regulating the autonomic nervous system through gentle techniques that identify and release trauma patterns. Clients learn to recognize physiological states of stress and cultivate self-soothing responses. Ideal for those recovering from chronic stress or emotional trauma.
Biodynamic Cranial Sacral
A subtle hands-on approach that supports the body's natural rhythms to alleviate tension in the central nervous system. Addresses headaches, TMJ disorders, and post-concussion symptoms by enhancing cerebrospinal fluid flow and structural alignment.
Neurovascular Integration
Targets blood flow patterns to resolve chronic pain and inflammation by addressing restrictions in vascular pathways. Combines soft tissue manipulation with positional release techniques to restore optimal circulation and cellular function.
Ortho Bionomy Techniques
Uses gentle positioning and movement to improve joint mobility and reduce muscular strain. This non-invasive method retrains the body's proprioception to alleviate chronic postural imbalances and enhance structural efficiency.
Trauma Healing Sessions
Integrates body awareness and gentle touch to process stored traumatic memories. Clients develop tools to manage dysregulation symptoms while rebuilding trust in their body's healing capacity through guided somatic experiencing.
