Exposure to Craniosacral Therapy
In 2012, when my daughter had a strange crawling technique, I collaborated with a Physical Therapist who said she’d help her. After 5 minutes of the PT using Cranio-sacral therapy techniques, my daughter crawled normally. I took an introductory 6 hour course soon after, and several 4 day courses since 2018.
Through Cranio-sacral I’ve healed through many personal events including postpartum complications, a face-plant over-the-handlebars bicycle accident in 2023, torn calf muscle, and many more. My children and husband have benefited from Cranio-sacral techniques which addressed bumps and bruises, difficulty breathing, bowel and bladder issues, shoulder pain, and birth complications.
I love the results patients receive and the light, non-invasiveness of the sessions. The addition of Cranio-Sacral skills creates diversity into my treatments while practicing Occupational Therapy. One patient, after a craniosacral treatment session stated, “It’s like someone is finally listening to my body and allowing it to heal through my experiences.” Providing these techniques in my private practice, allows everyone access to healing! I have used Craniosacral therapy treatment a couple hundred times, most recently 50 treatments in September and 71 in October 2025.
Exposure to Lymphedema Therapy
In 2005, my employer sent me to a 3.5 day training for Lymphedema treatments. I was skeptic of such a light technique draining the lymphatic system of the body. Once I started treating people with swelling after falls, surgeries, and “true” lymphedema of a limb and noticed the results, I returned for additional training. I’ve been a Certified Lymphedema Therapist since April 2006 because of those initial patients and have countless success stories of people with increased mobility, fitting into their normal size shoes and clothes, and of the relief that comes when swelling is reduced. Please watch the less than 8 minutes of videos I have recorded to help you understand the lymphatic system: the trash collector and disposer of the human body. “Lymphatic system overview, education, deep breathing, effleurage”
