CranioSacral Therapy For All Ages

Reiki Treatment

A gentle and powerful hands-on therapy that improves your body’s ability to take better care of you. It helps with conditions such as headaches, stress, fatigue, tension, trauma, and more.

The intense birth experience can impact your child’s central nervous system and lead to lasting health challenges, ranging from colic and lactation issues to chronic ear infections and emotional difficulties, just to name a few. CranioSacral care is a gentle therapy that identifies and releases tension left in the body following birth so that your little one can better develop and thrive.

Testimonials

Kind Words From Clients

“I am so grateful to have received CranioSacral therapy and instruction from Melissa. She is an amazing therapist, who has decades of experience and training which combined with her insight and intuition make for an amazing session. She helped support me while I went through several surgeries in 2022. Every time I got up off her table I felt more calm, had less pain, anxiety, fear and anger. I felt more like myself and could tell that each session helped me heal more quickly and completely. I am also fortunate enough to call Melissa a mentor as she has been kind enough to spend a Saturday each month leading a study group for other CranioSacral therapy practitioners in he area. She is incredibly kind, patient, organized, intelligent and generous with sharing her knowledge and passion for this amazing therapy.”
