All Friday appointments are at my Haight Street location, and cannot be scheduled on line. Please call for Friday times,
New Biomat for clients!
After trying a biomat on another therapist’s table, and sleeping the best I have in years, I have splurged on a “Tourmaline and Amethyst Infrared Biomat” for my clients. Users rave about the health benefits, so I am excited to use this new tool.
I am now certified as a Hypnotherapist!
I finished my Depth Hypnosis certification in December 2016. Depth Hypnosis helps you solve problems with aspects of your mind that you don’t normally have access to. Many times we have problems in the rational mind and conceptual mind, that cannot be solved there, so an altered state of consciousness can help you access part of yourself that know exactly what you need to heal or solve your problems. It can help anxiety, depression, habits that need to change, addictions, depression and auto-immune problems. I am finding that Depth Hypnosis is even more wonderful when combined with CranioSacral Therapy. If you find yourself repeating the same patterns, it might be what you need to make positive changes, and heal at a deep level.
Cranial Nerves Training
I am getting ready to take a 3 day intensive on Cranial Nerves (NM4) from the Barrall Institute! Excited to put the skills to work on my clients who are recovering from head injuries, concussions, and surgery.
CranioSacral + Acupuncture
The experiment with my Acupuncturist associate, Paola Acuna, where we combine CranioSacral and Acupuncture was a hit. One client reported “this was the closest to an out-of-body experience that I have ever had.” Most people wanted to know when we are doing it again! The answer is soon! We are taking requests, so let me know if you are interested.
New tools on freeing the Axilla
I spent my day off taking a class with one of my favorites teachers and bodyworkers, Jim Donak. The focus on treating the Axilla will benefit those with issues in the ribs, shoulders, pecs and thoracic region. Great class!
New office is ready!
After painting and learning how to install Pergot flooring, I am in my new treatment room! I hope to have much more flexible hours, than when I was a sub-tenant. I hope the new Folsom location is convenient for all.
Teaching CST to local Spa
I was excited to be invited to teach a techniques workshop in CranioSacral at the gorgeous Senspa in San Francisco. The Spa Director wanted her staff to lean the CST basics, to better serve their loyal clientele. An excellent move! It was a wonderful experience, and I am confident the therapists will love the work!
New Modalities: Myofascial Release
I wanted to increase my understanding the Myofascial Release principals used in CranioSacral Therapy, so I took a John Barnes class in MyoFascial Release in June. I love this work! I now believe that in order to get long lasting results in muscular pain, one needs to treat all the surrounding fascia. It’s amazing that by releasing a restriction in the fascia, the whole body improves. Try this work!
New Modalities: Neural Manipulation
I completed my second class in Neural Manipulation, called “Peripheral Nerve Manipulation; Upper Body,” and gained many new and effective ways to treat upper body nerve dysfunctions.
