Best Craniosacral Therapy Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers:
Our bodies are designed to continually gravitate towards a dynamic state of balance and ease, but sometimes through injury, illness, trauma or misuse we forget where home is, and the functioning of our body becomes compromised. Perhaps you had an injury that didn’t quite heal or you have this nagging sense that something is off, but every doctor and test says you should be fine. Perhaps you’re recovering from trauma and are uncertain how to resolve the myriad of symptoms, or stress is draining your vitality. It is from this place that we begin to question how to regain our well-being. It is here that your journey inward, towards a greater sense of wholeness begins.

Healing is the process of recognizing our own limitations and evolving through them. It is a remarkable journey that invites change, ignites courage and ultimately unburdens the soul so that we may move through the world with an ongoing sense of wholeness, and a deeper sense of purpose. This process permeates the physical, mental and emotional aspects of our being, and provides the guidance for what is needed to rediscover balance, function and ease.

A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.

In my private practice in Rockridge in Oakland I use a combination of modalities to help clients resolve the physical, emotional and spiritual blocks that prevent them from feeling fully alive and healthy. CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release are the foundation of my work, but my sessions also include Visceral Manipulation, energy work, grounding, guided imagery, and dialoguing with the body. I also bring my background in childhood development and Occupational Therapy to treat kids and educate parents.

I believe that your body has all the wisdom it needs to heal itself. My role is to listen to your body and guide you to your own information. You will learn to work with your own symbols and imagery and take home tools that you can use in your every day life to maintain health and promote healing. Through our work together, you will experience freedom from the discomfort and pain that brought you here, and feel more empowered around your own healing and more connected to your amazingly wise body.

4worldlovers: Craniosacral therapy is like talk therapy, except we listen to your body, rather than your mind. The paradigm is that your body knows best how to heal itself. Through light touch and osteopathic techniques, the therapist accesses your body’s own resources to remove restrictions along the central nervous system. Clients typically go into a meditative trance state because the body quiets to focus on its healing.

SI, also called Rolfing, is a form of bodywork that reorganizes the fascia, which permeates the entire body.

My work enables the body to regain the natural integrity of its form, thus enhancing postural efficiency and the freedom of movement.

Organized connective tissue will release, realign and balance the whole body, thus resolving discomforts.

“Since 1998 I’ve experienced many bodywork sessions from various practitioners. Akasha outshines them all with her presence and skill in going to the edge of deep tissue work without causing soreness. Our last session she included NLP that made a profound shift in my being. I wholeheartedly recommend Akasha for optimal integrative healing.”

I have lived with ptsd for around 10 years now from a traumatic childhood at the hands of my dad. My childhood was so horrifying that I had to repress my memories for some 30 years. I've been receiving Akasha's healing gifts starting this year-2019. My lower back, body, and legs that were once petrified from childhood fear are now relaxing. They used to be so tight that I would get regular cramps. The trauma energy is getting released which allows me to have more tactile senses and my nerve endings are being restored for the first time since childhood. Long stored emotions have been safely cried out too with the graceful support of Akasha. Even when I have flare ups from ptsd she has assisted me in letting the pain go.

Thanks so much Akasha for all your healing work! You bring a calm peaceful energy to my space (She does outcalls as well). Always a perfect balance of pressure and coaching to help my body release tension and find its balance. You are a true therapist!

Akasha is amazingly intuitive and powerfully strong. I am quite stiff and sometimes deal with alignment issues. I really have felt, after structural integration and deep physical manipulation, that I am truly able to fix problems that have been plaguing me for a long time.

I also love the ambience of the space and the location is super convenient— parking, too. I feel like my worries and cares sort of deep away when I’m in the beautiful, serene atmosphere of her massage studio. Writing this makes me crave another massage right now!

I have been challenged by some health stuff lately and was blessed to have had a cranial sacral session with Akasha. She is really nurturing and present, taking time to attune to my needs. Her touch was confidant and relaxing. I've seen her for massage as well, which was deep, muscular release and very therapeutic and the cranial work is so different. It's nice to have another more subtle type of work from her kind and intelligent hands. I appreciated her approach and left feeling more grounded and stronger in my body which was exactly what I needed.

Akasha is an extremely skilled therapist! I've had several sessions with her now, and each time I receive my body goes through a powerful cleansing process. I've experienced both her deep tissue work as well as more over all general body maintenance. She has a cultivated and intuitive way of reading my body. I can sense her anatomical knowledge as she moves along edges, origins, and points of insertion of my muscles. Not only is she a gifted therapist, but she is also a lovely human being with lots of knowledge related to healing. Thank you, Akasha! I look forward to our next session!

I have been seeing Akasha over the years for structural integration body work. I was a violinist for 15 years, plus was involved in various atheletics, so I have some old injuries that cause me discomfort and pain. Sessions with Akasha have helped my posture, alleviated pain and helped release tension. I did her 10 series and found that really helpful, as each session kind of built upon the last, and I felt better and better each time I saw her. She's professional and personable, and her Oakland office is beautifully decorated and filled with plants. She also came to my home with her massage table a few times. I really recommend receiving a massage from her to reduce pain, allevaite tension, relax body and mind, and feel great!
