Now Taking New Clients

I am happy to announce that I am back in Austin, TX after being in Santiago, Chile for nearly three years. It was a wonderful experience and I loved living in a foreign country. On a trip back to the US, I was able to complete and earn my Diplomate Certification for CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute.
The certification process was rigorous and provided opportunity to dive deep into my understanding of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and its offshoot, SomatoEmotional Release (SER). Dr. Upledger, the developer of CST, always said to let the patient/ client be your teacher. Indeed, after 17 years of practicing and receiving CST, I can say I have had a profound education!
It is my sincere intention to offer my clients the benefits of my experience, a willingness to listen and support his or her journey towards self-healing, and a professional and comfortable environment.
I look forward to working with you!
All the Best,
MeriJayd

An Appreciation...
Dr. John Upledger, 1932-2012

Four years ago, on October 26, 2012, Dr. Upledger, lovingly known as Dr. John, passed away at home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Dr. John had an impressive career as an Osteopathic physician and developer of CranioSacral Therapy. You can learn more about his accomplishments here:

I started my CST journey in 1999 when I took my first class. For the next eight years I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. John several times. This photo is of me and him in 2007 at one of the last classes he taught. Before that, I witnessed him in action at the Upledger clinic's intensive program where he carefully worked with a man who had a bullet lodged near his spine.
There is so much to say, but most of all, I appreciate how Dr. John wanted so much to share CST with the world. He wanted the work to develop on its own through CST therapists, and the experiences of client well beyond his lifetime. He truly believed that "we can tap into the body's own inner wisdom to facilitate a positive response through the use of our hands and an innate desire to help." Thank you, Dr. John, for the gift.

Case Study Published

One of my case stories was published in An Answer to Your Pain: CranioSacral Therapy Practioner Case Stories edited by Upledger Institute International, Inc. It is entitled Proof that Energy Fields Matter and is found on page 150. I write about a baby I worked on who had had many surgeries and procedures in the first 6 months of life. I discovered that before I could even touch his little body, I had to work off of his body, thus giving me validation or "proof" that the energy field around us is real and important. I hope to provide you a link to the excerpt soon. In the meantime, here is the link to the book.
