Craniosacral uses light touch to address the body holistically – integrating the physical, emotional and spiritual. Physically, the practitioner can feel the flow of the Craniosacral fluid, feel the fascial patterns, holdings, and misalignments. Combined with intuitive capability, and anatomical knowledge (fascia, muskuloskeletal, organs (meridians), and nervous systems), we support you in releasing and creating greater balance within.

Throughout our lives, the body subconsciously holds physical and emotional trauma (unprocessed events), which present as chronic or acute conditions. Somatoemotional release is an intuitive practice, whereby the practitioner guides the client into the body to help physically and or verbally release holding patterns, often showing up as limiting beliefs and chronic health concerns.

Craniosacral + Somatoemotional Release can help with the following:
Infant sleep, latching, digestion, colic, and ear infections
Healing physical + emotional trauma from birth, injuries, concerns accumulated over life, limiting personal beliefs
Emotional balancing, including aiding anxiety, depression, phobias + PTSD
Acute concerns – whiplash, injury, range of motion etc
Chronic concerns – immune, fatigue, digestion, sleep, TMJ, migraines, cysts, arthritis
Organ, Chakra and Meridian balancing + healing
Fertility concerns + Prenatal anxiety and discomfort

Since she was a teen, Katie realized her purpose was to support others in living their vision of happiness. She believes to do so, we need to look at our lives from a holistic perspective - our thoughts affect our emotions, which affects our bodies and our actions, affecting our daily lives.

In order to make lasting changes, we need to allow our subconscious to become conscious, in order to release stored emotions and beliefs. Through Craniosacral and Somatoemotional Release, Katie is able to tap into the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of her clients. This is a symbiotic healing journey, in that by helping you reach a Theta state where your body is naturally receptive to healing, Katie can help guide your physical, emotional and spiritual bodies into greater alignment and balance.
