Meet Naomi

My journey into the world of alternative health care started after my first craniosacral treatment back in 2008. When I first sought craniosacral therapy, I suffered from panic attacks and vertigo. At the time, I was amazed at the rapid improvements in my health immediately after every treatment. My health concerns have since wholly resolved thanks to this therapy and without pharmaceutical interventions. After my initial progress with craniosacral therapy, I decided to include it on an ongoing basis as part of my health maintenance routine. It wasn’t until after twelve years of seeing my craniosacral therapist regularly that I decided to pursue this fascinating realm on my own.

Frequently Asked Questions

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch, manual therapy that releases tensions, as well as restrictions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve overall health. CST was developed by Osteopathic Physician, John E. Upledger after extensive clinical research at Michigan State University. Established in 1985, Upledger Institute International has trained more than 125,000 therapists worldwide and offers more than 600 courses in 50 countries.

CST complements the body’s natural healing processes. CST is reported by clients to be effective in helping to relieve a wide range of symptoms associated with:
  • Autism
  • Cancer Treatment
  • Central Nervous System Disorders
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Concussion Syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • Infant and Childhood Disorders
  • Neck and Back Pain
  • Orthopedic Problems
  • Post-Traumatic
  • Stress
  • Scoliosis
  • Spinal Cord
  • Injuries Stress and Tension Related Disorders
  • TMJ Syndrome
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
Few structures have as much influence over the body’s ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. And few systems have as much impact on the central nervous system as the craniosacral system — the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Every day your body endures stresses and strains, and your structures work to compensate for them. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system, which can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord. The result is a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with. Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. Generally using about 5 grams of pressure (about the weight of a nickel), the CST practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. Soft touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the craniosacral system. By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body’s ability to self-correct, CranioSacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions.

A typical CST session lasts from 45-60 minutes, and takes place in a quiet, private setting. CST is performed with the client fully clothed and lying on a comfortable massage table. Using a light touch, the therapist evaluates or “listens to” the body for tension patterns and imbalances. The craniosacral system is accessed and treated using the bones and connective tissue. Skilled CST therapists can enhance fluid flow and balance membrane tension, helping to bring increased vitality to the system. Releasing chronic tension patterns and enhancing fluid motility allows the body’s healing mechanisms to operate more effectively, imparting greater balance and ease. What is experienced during a CST session is highly individualized. Some say they feel deeply relaxed, while others describe feeling unwinding sensations as the body releases tension. Sometimes, circumstances are recalled surrounding a past trauma or injury that caused the body stress. While this doesn’t happen every time, this process called “SomatoEmotional Release” is perfectly normal and helps the body reverse dysfunction and restore optimal levels of mobility.

Just as each individual experiences CST sessions differently, the results can be diverse as well. You may leave in such a relaxed state that you feel like sleeping for hours. Or you may leave full of boundless energy. You may feel a decrease in pain or an increase in function immediately after the session, or the effects may develop gradually over the next few days. Since CST helps the body resume its natural healing processes, it’s common for your improvements to continue weeks after the session. You may also experience a reorganization phase as your body releases previously held patterns and adapts to a new state of wellness.

Because CST is effective as a preventive health measure, almost anyone can benefit from a session. The extremely light touch makes this therapy suitable for even the most sensitive of individuals.

There are a few situations in which CST is not recommended. They include any condition in which slight variations in intracranial pressure would cause instability, such as acute aneurysm, recent skull fracture, and cerebral hemorrhage or other severe bleeding disorder. If you have any questions about whether these situations apply to you, seek the advice of your physician before receiving a CST session.

Testimonials

I came to Naomi for support with my breathing issues. I had very little sense of smell and struggled to take in enough oxygen through my nasal cavity to sustain workouts. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of what Naomi could do for me as no other treatments were successful to clear my passage ways (both home remedies and prescription). Naomi used her training in Mouth Work Protocols to clear out my nasal cavities and the results blew me away..or rather blew the gunk right out of my nose! I am able to breathe better than I ever have before, my sense of smell has returned, my sleep improved, and I am able to lift more weight and for longer than I was able to pre treatment, all within 48 hrs after my first session! Naomi and her Craniosacral Therapy practice has improved my quality of life. I am forever grateful!

I have done a few sessions with Naomi since the summer and what I found to be the most beneficial aspect for me was the overall feeling of calm, control and clarity. Leaving the sessions, I feel like I've come out of a haze. The mental and physical fog I have from everyday monotonous life picks up and for quite a while after and I'm my most productive and motivated. I know everyone carries around their own baggage and may struggle to find balance and a way unload some of that weight from day to day, but this Craniosacral Therapy has fast become one of my outlets when I feel like I'm not firing on all cylinders.

I have been seeing Naomi for support for my carpal tunnel in my right hand that has recently flared up over the last few months since I started weight training. I have noticed a significant difference in my joint mobility and ability to sleep comfortably with her support. I am still continuing my sessions to sustain my mobility and be proactive with my injury for optimal weight training:

Naomi has been supporting my healing process for the past 6 months, more specifically, chronic issues with pain in my lower back and hip. After each session, there are measurable improvements that have greatly helped facilitate a better quality of life.
