Austin CranioSacral Therapy

Welcome to Austin CranioSacral Therapy!  Over the years I have had the opportunity to witness the profound effects of CranioSacral Therapy(CST) on my clients' health.    This gentle, noninvasion form of bodywork works effectively for stress management, chronic pain, and nervous system problems.  I work with people of all ages from newborns to the final days. 
Please explore this website to learn more about CranioSacral Therapy and how it can support your health.
Thank you for visiting and I look forward to speaking with you,

CranioSacral Therapy is a form of light touch manual bodywork developed by Dr. John Upledger that treats restrictions in the body restoring health and preventing disease. Practitioners do this by feeling for the craniosacral rhythm which is a rhythm in the body separate and distinct from the heart rhythm or breathing rhythm. Stress in the body, tissue damage from accidents, or physical or emotional trauma can alter how this rhythm feels. A CranioSacral therapist can feel the rhythm in different areas of the body.  Wherever the rhythm is different or there is a lack of rhythm, the therapist will use soft tissue release techniques to restore movement and balance to the rhythm.   As a result, the body tissue moves more freely and often times the source of problems, rather than just the symptoms are resolved. Many of my clients use CranioSacral Therapy for chronic pain situations, TMJ disorder, headaches, low-back pain, and for stress management and wellness.  It is also very gentle and effective for infants and children.  Some therapists even work on animals.
