My job is to facilitate Your ability to heal Yourself.
Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well."
-Hippocrates
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle manual therapy that can facilitate your body’s self healing mechanisms.
The CT Center for CranioSacral Therapy offers CST as a gentle manual approach to facilitate your body's process in healing from physical and emotional dysfunction and trauma.
CST supports the structure and function of the central nervous system, thereby assisting in the function of all other systems.
CT Center for CranioSacral Therapy is in an ADA compliant facility and uses an ADA compliant high/low table for ease of maneuverability. There is ample space for caregivers, and mobility devices in the office and in the suite, at large.

“So Nice to have a relaxing place to give my body a chance to “reset” itself and begin anew.”
Gentle. Relaxing. Restorative.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle manual therapy which focuses on the health of the central nervous system. Life experiences often introduce tension patterns in the body. Most of the time, your body compensates just fine, but sometimes those tension patterns become too much for your body to handle and the result is pain, anxiety, fatigue, musculoskeletal dysfunction and an overall sense of not feeling well or as well as you used to feel. Injuries, surgeries, toxins, medications, infections and accidents can impair normal function. My job is to facilitate your body’s natural and innate desire to heal itself. I am part of your health-care team and together we can find your optimal wellness again.
What is CranioSacral Therapy?
Upledger CranioSacral Therapy
The “OG”
Thanks to the work of Drs. Still, Sutherland and Upledger, CST is practiced around the world. The most renowned school for CranioSacral Therapy, the Upledger Institute International in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, offers training around the world and is involved in research, treatment, and outreach. They have several unique patient programs including dolphin therapy and multi-day clinical intensives while also offering patient services in their clinic.
CST practitioners often include massage therapists, doctors, physical and occupational therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, dentists, speech pathologists, psychologists, counselors, nurses, etc.
To practice professionally in the US, a practitioner must carry a license in a healthcare field with their state's Department of Health and Technique and Diplomate Certifications are available.
Therapists who choose to pursue certification are dedicated to their personal growth and education. Each level certification may take years to complete and requires extensive knowledge in anatomy, osteopathy, neurology, mental health, and ethics.
