“As
we lighten our touch and listen to the wisdom of the body, a whole new world of
subtle rhythms and forces reveals itself”
I
am a graduate of the University of Toronto B.SC. in Physiotherapy (1985) and
worked for several years in out-patient orthopedics at the Therapies Department
of the Whitehorse General Hospital. I
was introduced to Craniosacral Therapy (see www.upledger.com)
in 1996 and was particularly impressed with the clinical results with my clients
who had more complex and chronic problems.
I
began my private practice in 1998 to allow me to work with clients one on one in
a quiet, confidential and respectful environment incorporating craniosacral and
visceral therapy. Since that time I
have taken further Craniosacral courses with the Upledger Institute and continue
to follow the Visceral Therapy curriculum of the Barral Institute (see www.barralinstitute.com).
Through this ongoing education and the hands-on listening skills which
are a primary means of assessment, I continue to learn about the fascinating
interconnections within the human body and how to assist the tissues to return
to a natural state of balance, space and health.
Specific
stretching and strengthening exercises are given for gaining and maintaining
muscle balance as needed.
My
personal interest in yoga, meditation and energy work also informs my practice.
I incorporate pain and stress management/education techniques into the
sessions as required.
The
craniosacral and visceral works are useful for a wide range of acute and chronic
conditions. See www.barralinstitute.com/about/vm.php
for a comprehensive list.
