Descriptions:
Craniosacral Therapy: a gentle osteopathic hands on therapy that supports and follows the self corrective direction of the fluid and fascial system surrounding the nervous system. This work can help with many things including alleviating pain, freeing limiting patterns in connective tissue, returning balance and ease to the nervous system and bringing the cranial and spinal bones back into alignment. Craniosacral therapy is customarily received fully clothed and is safe and effective for almost anyone - newborns, those who are seriously ill, even animals.   

Visceral Manipulation: This is another gentle osteopathic manual therapy, similar in many ways to craniosacral therapy. Visceral work addresses the mobility of our organs, their connections with each other, our muscles and structure.  Balancing tensions in the unseen 3 dimensional tissues of the thorax and abdomen (largely ignored by traditional physical therapy) can help free anchors that limit our movement and how forces move through us. Our organs and body tissues become restricted in the healing of injury/trauma, disease, inflammation and surgical procedures. The effects of these types of restrictions can show up right away or take years to impact movement and comfort to the degree that you notice the symptoms they produce.


All services are offered as out of pocket/ cash pay physical therapy and wellness/coaching.

So that we can spend quality time focused on getting you where you want to be, I am not in network with any insurance provider nor do I bill insurance directly or offer follow up/interface with insurance providers.

Due to Medicare laws, I am unable to provide physical therapy services to persons covered by Medicare as I am not a covered Medicare provider.
