Shamanic & Biodynamic Craniosacral Work
  Craniosacral work follows the natural rhythms of the cranial wave and uses gentle holds to free restrictions of movement between physical structures throughout the body, with a primary focus on the cranial bones, spine and sacrum. Working intuitively and employing an initial pressure of no more than five grams, the therapist is able to read the position of bone and the feel of tissue, joints and organs to map out a history and a path to recovery.
 
Shamanic
90 minutes $119.00
Working with energetic patterns and relationships between body, mind and spirit, this is profound work for releasing past traumas, restoring balance and deepening our connection to our physical bodies.
  Biodynamic
60 minutes $79.00
Biodynamic Craniosacral work is a journey through deeper tidal rhythms within the body. Healthy motion is restored to inertial patterns by connecting to the Breath of Life, the primal force which infuses cells at conception and continues to form the matrix of our health and evolution throughout life. A restorative and transformational experience.
