Our nerves connect to every gland and organ in our body making the health of our nervous system vital to function and overall health of our entire body.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck & Back Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Colic
Autism
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Spinal Cord Injuries
Scoliosis
Infantile Disorders

Chronic Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties Stress and Tension-Related Problems

Testimonials
"Kat is highly professional yet fun, intuitive and sincere in her work. I felt absolutely at ease and a huge relief of muscle pains in my neck. She also assisted in balancing my body with the use of craniosacral. Don't think twice about booking! You will not regret it and may very likely become a regular client!" A.F .
“I’ve had several sessions with Kat and every time I walk away feeling great. I’ve historically had lower back issues. Before my last visit, my back was in pain for a couple days, on the verge of going out. I knew if it went out I would be unable to move for a week. She asked if she could try craniosacral. I was skeptical, but willing to try. Afterwards, my back felt better and when I woke up the next morning, I had zero pain. That has never happened before! I was amazed and am now a believer in craniosacral therapy (even though I don’t completely understand “how” it works). I highly recommend Kat as a massage therapist.” R.H.
“Kat has a skill I have not found before, CranioSacral Therapy. She has been very effective in helping me and my husband, although we have completely different issues, she is working on with us.” S.G.
"You know that massage therapist who knew where the hurts are without you having to say a word? Kat is that kind of therapist + does cranial work as well!" C.J.
