BIO:
Why holistic medicine: After 30 years as a practicing RN I gravitated to Cranio-Sacral Therapy because of my developing beliefs in the effectiveness of holistic and alternative medical therapies. The present Western Medical Model needs something more beyond the hospital walls and the acuteness of a particular medical problem. Holistic Medicine takes in to account the life style of a patient. Our bodies are incredible healers and we need to rely on our bodies abilities and stop looking for a pill to fix everything. In 2003 I enrolled at the Upledger Institute in order to become a practicing Cranio-Sacral Therapist. I have recently expanded my studies to include lymph drainage therapy.
What do you do for people: I Do Cranio-Sacral Therapy which is a gentle hands on method of enhancing the flow of cerebral spinal fluid, blood and lymph. It facilitates the body's natural healing. Cranio-Sacral Therapy always improves fluid movement in all systems throughout the body, enhancing the supply of nutrients and facilitating the removal of toxins and waste products from the tissues. Lymph drainage activates fluid circulation, drains, toxins, liquid fat and macromolecules(proteins) and stimulates the immune system. The two therapies work effectively together or as separate therapies.
Your philosophy and approach:. My intent is to be a facilitator to the client. By my training I seek the areas of the body where the energy flow is low or not present, and follow the cranio-sacral rhythym to remove the blocks causing the energy void. I feel I inspire my clients to move foreward with a more therapeutic approach to their lifestyle.
Your credentials. : I am a licensed RN, a certified Cranio-Sacral Therapist and Lymph Drainage Specialist. I am also working on a Masters degree in Naturopathy.
