✨ Healing Insights with a Craniosacral Therapy Blog: Articles to Support Your Journey

Explore posts on this Craniosacral Therapy Blog with ideas on:  holistic healing, and practical ways to reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit.

Welcome to my craniosacral therapy blog, where I share guidance, insights, and real-world wisdom from nearly 30 years of hands-on experience. Whether you’re curious about how Craniosacral Therapy works, looking for gentle ways to support your nervous system, or exploring trauma-informed healing in Columbus, Ohio—this blog is here to support your journey. Each post is written on this Craniosacral Therapy blog with care to help you reconnect with your body, calm your system, and remember your inner wholeness.

Your body remembers everything—even when your mind doesn’t. In times of stress, trauma, or overwhelm, it often protects you by storing those experiences deep within the tissues. Over time, these hidden patterns can show up as chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.

Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Somatic Therapy offer a gentle and respectful way to reconnect with your body and restore your sense of safety and wholeness. Through slow, intuitive touch and guided awareness, I help you listen to what your body is trying to say—so that it can finally exhale. These therapies support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep physical healing in a way that feels nourishing rather than overwhelming.

Many women find that this work not only eases physical discomfort but also reconnects them with a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and presence. Whether you’re navigating hormonal shifts, postpartum strain, unresolved trauma, or simply seeking to feel more grounded in your own body—this work meets you where you are.

If something inside you is asking for more ease, more connection, and a space to gently come home to yourself—I invite you to reach out. Let’s begin with a conversation to see how this work may support your healing journey.

How to Find Help forVertigo

How to Find Help forVertigo

From a manual approach, Vertigo can be helped if it is stemming from a structural issue. I have had clients come in with this issue, and when It began after a physical accident, we have had much success.

Recently, with one client, we figured out that most likely it originated with a childhood accident, and then the heavy lifting consistently at the job also contributed to dizziness. I don’t diagnose, but this is the story the client shared as the pieces came together during our time together.

What I felt during my listening palpation was that there was a lot of motion from side to side, mostly in the neck, but also in the head, and down in the body. One Side of the body was much more muscled than the other. The lateral motion was occurring from the brain all the ways down.

Easy session. All we had to do was find the primary areas to work and to help the body self-correct and self-regulate. The key issue here was in the hyoid bone. Once that released, the whole body began to open up. But its also important that a therapist knows how to work the rest of the anterior neck and the thoracic area as well. I used Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation techniques to help toward resolution.

It’s not always the case that CST will help with Vertigo. But sometimes it is. A good question to always ask, is. “when did the symptoms begin”. If there is a correlation, it may be structural indeed! I also recommend people see a Vestibular Therapist too who has lots of experience, if the challenges come from somewhere else.
Putting a thumbs up for helping people with this uncomfortable condition. Vertigo is not fun.

The Importance of Feeling Understood.

The Importance of Feeling Understood.

Our names are a table that identify us. I am not usually one who likes to be labeled. But there is something so vital about being witnessed, understood an heard that feels so important to our human nature. With Craniosacral Therapy, touch is also about melding and blending while listening to a person’s Central Nervous System. When the person is met, something alive and deeper awakens. It’s that place where we long to be recognized and finally are in a very sensory way. Human beings are meant to be touched. Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle and compassionate. One reason I switched my main focus into Craniosacral Therapy was because it Brough to much more peace to my system. I see this all the time with my s well. It may take one session, or maybe many depending on the life circumstances. But it is oh so helpful in helping the body to deeply relax.
