Craniosacral Therapy was pioneered in modern times by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger, DO. Long-standing pain from TMJ, migraines and back injuries, as well as structural dysfunctions, are particularly responsive to this self-correcting work.

This therapy is a gentle hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the craniosacral system, the multi-layered membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord. These membranes and fluid are crystalline in structure and information and energy flows through them and all the connective tissue (fasciae) of the body at the speed of light.

By releasing restrictions and blockages in the craniosacral system, the functioning of the central nervous system, the viscera (organs) and the entire holistic energy system are enhanced. This harmonizing of the Body/Mind/Spirit allows you to begin the self-healing process, relieve you from pain, and brings you and your life back into balance

Emerging from the Craniosacral Therapy field, SomatoEmotional Release, or SER, is process-oriented work that helps to rid the mind and body of the residual effects of acute trauma.

Deep-seated emotional memories are stored in your psyche (causing both physical and mental pain) as energy blocks. This whole-body treatment guides the release of anger, fear, guilt and trauma stored in the organs, tissues and cells, thereby relieving aches and tension, as well as freeing you from emotional stress.

Zero Balancing is a hands-on, Body-Mind-Spirit system designed by Fritz Smith, DO, MD. ZB facilitates integration of the client's energy body and body structure, creating balance all the way to the densest tissues, particularly the bone and skeletal system. With psyche and soma in communicative harmony after a ZB session, many people report a sense of fluidity, an integrated feeling of “being in their bones” and centered well-being.

Lymph Drainage Therapy is a light-touch method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, of France. This gentle manipulation affects lymph flow as well as stimulates and regulates the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. By clearing blockages and eliminating toxins, this therapy helps transport nutrients to the cells and increases metabolic function.

Visceral Manipulation is a therapy developed by French osteopath Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral. Under healthy conditions, the relationship between the organs (both hollow and solid viscera) and structures of the body (muscles, membranes, fasciae and bones) remains constant.

However, systemic disharmony results when one organ can’t stay in proper contact and move with its surrounding tissues and viscera because of adhesions, abnormal tone, or displacement. VM releases these points of tension. Once normal mobility and tone of the viscera and their connective tissues are restored, improved functioning of the individual organs and organ systems results, and the structural integrity of the entire body is reestablished.

Somatic Experiencing is a trauma-healing therapy developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. The work focuses on the release of overwhelming trauma and on eliminating re-traumatization caused by recurrent arousal in the body-mind.

Based on observation of animals in the wild, the techniques allow rebalancing of the nervous system and the body-mind after an acute imprint and/or chronic patterning of “fight or flight” survival mode. By bringing awareness to bodily felt sensations, outer and inner resources can be accessed. Leah is currently training in this work which synthesizes insights from the fields of psychology, stress studies, and biophysics.

The Alexander Technique focuses on awareness of balance, posture and coordination in everyday functioning. It is a powerful method of reeducating the body to return to its optimal fluidity and function through the release of habituated muscular and structural tension.

Laban Movement Analysis is the exploration and study of movement as a fundamental human experience and communication of a wide range of ideas, sensations and emotions: joy, fear, direction, a vision for yourself, a feeling for the world.

As developed by Rudolf Laban, perhaps the greatest movement theorist of the 20th century, LMA provides insight into personal movement style and increases awareness of what is communicated and expressed. This method is based on the philosophy that the full spectrum of movement – from locomotion to function to expression – is necessary for the development of human potential.

Ideokinesis was created and developed by André Bernard. This approach to human movement and body alignment reeducates neuro-muscular patterns of body balance and motion through tactile, visual and auditory senses, movement and creative imagery.
