Healing the body and mind with Cranio Psycho Therapy

Message to Moxie Moms

I have had a practice in Cranio Psycho Therapy in Boulder for 6 years, and previously taught medical and social science students in England. I offer a unique blend of craniosacral therapy and psychotherapy. Craniosacral therapy is the practice of lightly and gently adjusting the membranes that line the brain and spine, in order to free restrictions. Restrictions develop internally from muscular or tendon imbalances - often caused by stress - or externally from trauma to the body such as a toddler hitting her head. These restrictions cause problems that include headaches, migraines, TMJ, back ache, depression, neck pain, scoliosis, emotional disorders, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, ear disorders and earache, vertigo, and colic.

My work generates a remarkably high success rate. Children’s conditions often develop from the birthing process – think of the pressure on the cranium - and an early treatment efficiently eradicates future problems. As children grow, falls and bumps can displace the bones in the cranium and spine that, unless treated, will later appear as physiological problems. For teenagers, orthodontic braces cause problems to the normal functioning of the cranium, and teenagers’ emotional health is highly challenged by adolescence. Adults experience increasing stress, road accidents, and, for the active adult, sports accidents. The psychotherapy component of my treatments allows each person to access the stored trauma of, for example, falling off a bike or being in a car wreck. Sometimes this trauma has been stored in a part of the body from childhood. Additionally, I work with people who are ‘stuck’ in talk-only therapy, providing the critical component of physiologically releasing emotional pain

In summary, I treat post-birthing stress, all conditions that occur within the cranium and spine, all auto-immune and central nervous conditions, and I offer psychotherapy to provide an integrated approach to our bodies that are, after all, integrated entities. It is also probably the most relaxing treatment you will ever receive!
