What is CranioSacral Therapy (CST) ?
A gentle bodywork modality that is done clothes on and lying comfortably face up
on a massage table. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) physiologically balances the
environment in which your nervous system resides. This is a whole body treatment that
focuses on the spine, sacrum and the head and the connective tissue membranes and fluid
that connect them all. Imbalances in the CranioSacral system can negatively
impact sensory, motor and neurological issues.

What is Visceral Manipulation (VM) ?
This is a manual therapy that focuses on your organs and uses very gentle corrections
to improve the innate movement and therefore their health. All your organs are
in a reciprocal feedback loop with the vertebrae of your spine so restrictions
(adhesions/scar tissue) can impact both the flexibility of your spine and the
health of the organ. Laurel trained with the developer of this modality; Dr
Jean-Pierre Barral, an Osteopathic Physician from France. VM can be helpful for adhesions, scar tissue,
asthma, pain or those with a history of pneumonia, gall bladder problems, intestinal
or liver problems and after childbirth or any surgery.

What is Somatic Experiencing ?
This is a potent method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. It resets the nervous system, restores inner balance, enhances resilience to stress and increases people's vitality, equanimity and capacity to engage in life. If you have had trauma, it's not in your mind but in your nervous system and your nervous system can be retrained toward more coherence and calm.
