CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?

craniosacralCranioSacral therapy is a form of bodywork where the practitioner works directly with the bones of the head, spine and sacrum, along with tissues throughout the body. The client is fully clothed, and generally the pressure applied is no greater than the weight of a nickel. The therapist monitors the CranioSacral rhythm to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. Light touch is used to release the problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. CranioSacral therapy supports the body to correct imbalances and heal itself.  CranioSacral fluid flows from the cranium to the sacrum (hence the name, CranioSacral), through the dural tube. Since the spinal cord is contained in the dural tube, restrictions anywhere in this dural tube, can affect the entire body.

WHAT IS SOMATO EMOTIONAL RELEASE (SER)?

Somato Emotional Release is a form of bodywork that releases stored emotional trauma from the cells. Often these stored memories prevent people from healing from a past injury or trauma – physical or emotional. Gentle touch is used with the intention of allowing the body to let go of any emotions or cellular memories that the body doesn’t need anymore. The practitioner may help the client dialogue with their body. Often, the body just needs to “voice” its complaints, to release the stored memory or emotion, allowing healing to occur. It is important to note that the trauma doesn’t need to be relived for healing to occur. This is not a substitute for professional counseling.

TESTIMONIALS

“I am very impressed with the results I get from CranioSacral treatments. After each session, I feel more energized, and experience more freedom of movement in the areas of my body that benefit most. I highly recommend CranioSacral Therapy!” – Nadine Miller

“I have been seeing Vicki for about a year and a half. I had been having symptoms in different areas of my body as a result of buried emotions, which were causing nausea, headaches and just making me feel sick and drained physically. I was miserable. I had retired at 70 from years of caretaking other people and not taken care of myself. Vicki was very helpful in my healing of emotions and provided me with a book on releasing emotional patterns with essential oils. My work with her has been very instrumental in my healing process and I’m grateful to her.” – Mary Korth

I don’t understand much about healing work. It is a mystery to me. But I see it like electricity…I don’t understand all the details of how it works, but I use it and rely on it every day! I do know that I can walk into a session with Vicki with a full blown migraine and walk out with NO headache. I don’t need to understand it, I am just GRATEFUL FOR MY PASSIONATE, GIFTED FRIEND VICKI! – Julie Schmied

In 2003 I sat in my doctor’s office listening to him tell me he had few answers to help me. He wasn’t sure if my nerves had been damaged from childhood abuse, farm chemicals I had worked with, or one of the many falls I had taken over the years. I had been to chiropractors, a physical therapist, 3 different neurologists, an allergist and other doctors. I had brain scans, X-rays, blood work and a battery of other tests over the years to find the reasons for my pain and they could only rule out what I didn’t have. By 2003 I had lost the ability to use the vacuum cleaner, scrub floors and almost every other chore a housewife does, and had to sit back and watch others do my job. The nerve pain ran through my body like a short circuit, stopppng at a different place each time it made its rounds. This sometimes lasted for hours on end with unbearable pain before it let up enough to be regular pain that I could stand. The weakness in my muscles became much worse, so I no longer could be hugged nor even touched or the neuropathy kicked in big time and became unbearable. When the doctor kept increasing the dosage of my meds to keep my pain where I could tolerate it, I had a foggy brain that made it near impossible to continue my passion for writing. I finally gave up on the medication and lived with daily pain. After going to Vicki’s open house, my husband encouraged me to talk with her. I have to say I wasn’t sure about trying another treatment, but I made up my mind that would try 5 treatments. Two treatments later, I was without pain for 3 days. I mean NO pain at all. It came back but I continued with her treatments, and usually go twice a month now. I just turned 70 in March, and I’ve never felt so good in my whole life. I am able to walk one and a half miles every day, I do my own house cleaning once again, and I am able to drive my car. My mind is much clearer, and I had a book published in March of 2009. Am I cured? Not yet, but without a doubt my body is healing with Vicki’s treatments and my family doctor is impressed. I am blessed to have my life back. – PI

Child’s Session: Oh, Vicki.  You should have heard him after his session with you!  He thanked me over and over, and said he felt like a weight was lifted off of him!!!  He was so adorable in his description of how he felt!  LOVE it and LOVE that you are sharing your wonderful gifts!!!  THANK YOU!  JS 11/10

I woke up this morning without a headache and just wanted to cry.  This is the first time, in a long time that I didn’t have to start my day with 3 Excedrin.  Thank you!!! KS 10/18
