The Art of CranioSacral Therapy
Stressful and painful experiences are a part of life. The process of self-healing is becoming increasingly recognized as the most important part of the healing process, whether illness is physiological or psychological in nature. CranioSacral Therapy offers an effective soft-touch approach to help the body self-correct and heal.
The Technique
A CranioSacral session generally lasts from an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and thirty minutes when the body will indicate a sense of completion.
CranioSacral Therapy is based on the recognition of a physiological system of the body that is palpable to the trained practitioner. The whole body expands and contracts in response to the increase and decrease of cerebrospinal fluid being produced and reabsorbed in and around the brain and spinal cord of the central nervous system. The practitioner evaluates this subtle rhythm of movement of the body. Where restrictions or absence of movement are apparent in the physiology the skilled practitioner reestablishes motion with gentle, subtle techniques. Symptoms suffered are encouraged to resolve and disturbed body functions are assisted to reestablish normal function.
The stresses of old traumas are often stored in the body as "tissue memories" long forgotten by the conscious mind yet causing interference in normal functioning. The practitioner can locate the part of the body that is holding the results of emotional or physical trauma. With physical, energetic and verbal support the client is empowered to identify the root of the problem and find a positive solution. These restrictions are easily released, allowing the body’s own inherent wisdom to reestablish natural healthy functioning.
The Benefits
This experience of whole body healing is a natural self-corrective process and is helpful in alleviating symptoms of injury or disease whether they are recent or old, or psychic, emotional or physical in origin. My work has been helpful to many people who have suffered the symptoms of the following conditions and injuries:
The Result
I've worked with clients suffering from a wide range of problems from a stiff neck to terminal illness. I have worked with all ages of clients from infants to the elderly. My referrals come from a number of health care professionals including neurologists, psychologists and chiropractic professionals and primarily by word of mouth referral. In my practice I have seen that there is always beneficial gain in a treatment session-sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic. But always some self-correcting or self-healing takes place, allowing increased use and function of the body and a healthier approach to the living of life.
" The more I learn about this therapy the less I know. All I know is that it works and it makes you feel better." Debby Morrisey
"It's more spiritual than anything. This therapy has helped me to understand that my mind is not separate from my body. It is deeply moving and spiritually profound." Molly Grady MA LMT"
"I had an audiogram, which showed I could not hear speech, and the loss was both nerve and conductive. After my CranioSacral treatment with Maureen, my hearing had returned within the hour. Another audiogram confirmed that the left ear hearing was within normal range and the tinnitus in my left ear continued to improve." Monica Williams
"The work that Maureen does helps with releasing core pattern distortions, whether they are physical, emotional, chemical or spiritual. And it benefits the healing process in a gentle, holistic manner." Dr. Christine Grams R.N., D.C.
"My ankle and foot were injured at work. One surgery and a year later it was not healing and was painful and swollen. After 4 sessions of CranioSacral Therapy with Maureen, the symptoms were gone and I could return to work. My podiatrist was amazed at the results of this therapy and so was I." Lawrence Luttmer
