For adults, children and infants. Low-force techniques of adjusting (a tool called arthrostim or the “tapper”)is used for adults and children.

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle technique used to guide the cranial bones into their proper position. The pressure put upon the cranial bones is less than 5 grams or the weight of a nickel resting on your skin. Cranial Sacral Therapy takes pressure off of the cranium and allows the fluid that bathes the brain to flow more freely and without restriction. The cranial system can be disrupted by trauma as simple as small falls or larger falls and more serious injuries.

[Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy]
Holistic Pelvic Care helps you to become more balanced in your pelvis, bringing you greater ease and joy in creating the life of your dreams. Our pelvis is our creative center. When we have freely flowing energy in a balanced pelvis we are more open to receive the gifts life has in store for us and we have greater ease in sharing our gifts with life.
Holistic Pelvic Care works not only with the tissues but also with the flow of energy in the pelvis. We store a lot of our trauma’s, emotions and life experiences in our pelvis. By learning to release these held tensions we open ourselves up to a greater flow of energy, abundance and creativity in our life.
Restoring balance in our pelvis helps you strengthen your core muscles, gives greater support to your pelvic organs, increases pelvic energetic vitality, heal from tensions of pregnancy and trauma of childbirth and reconnect to the magnificence of your pelvic bowl.

[Acupuncture]
Acupuncture is the practice of balancing the natural energy which flows through the body. When in balance, we have health. When out of balance or blocked either by stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, or physical or emotional trauma, it can cause illness. By inserting hair-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the channels along the body, we aim to correct this imbalance so that the body can begin its own immune response and healing process. Receiving acupuncture treatments on a regular basis is shown to enhance the immune system, increase blood flow reduce inflammation, regulate the nervous system, and increase endorphins in

[When Survivors Give Birth Counseling]
Research says time and time again that a woman who feels empowered during her pregnancy and birth (often as a result of being listened to and having a sense of control over her experience) will often bond better with her baby, experience less postpartum depression, and move into the next phase of her life with confidence and strength. For a woman who is a childhood sexual abuse (or other trauma) survivor, the stakes are even higher… her ability to feel empowered during pregnancy and birth can also heal deep wounds from her past. The consultations are designed to help a pregnant childhood sexual abuse (or other trauma) survivor prepare for her upcoming pregnancy and/or birth with a reflection on her past and an intention for healing.
