Best Craniosacral Therapy Santa Rosa Near Me

4worldlovers: Are you amidst a big life transition and seeking integrative physical and emotional support?

Are you feeling the impacts of stress, emotional overwhelm and agitation? Perhaps you have adrenal fatigue or hormonal imbalance?

Are you noticing the impact of whiplash or traumatic brain injury from a car accident or other physical collision?

Is there a chronic pain or discomfort in your body that is keeping you up at night or impacting your life and relationships?

Are you a well-resourced healing arts practitioner, therapist, or yoga teacher who extends massively to your clients and might need a little extra self-care to recharge your system?

Replenishing Craniosacral Therapy treatments support your body in finding emotional and physical balance. Sleep better. Digest well. Feel more at peace in your body, heart and spirit so that you can show up for your loved ones and your life with more vital energy. Notice the freedom and relief from ongoing pain or physical and emotional contraction.

Your session begins with a verbal conversation bringing presence, body mindfulness, and awareness to what brings you to this healing work at this moment in your life. We will take about 15 minutes to explore what is arising in your life and in your body just now. We will explore your intention and let that shape the uniqueness of the session.

After our initial check-in, you will get on the table fully clothed. I will use light touch on your feet, spine, cranium, and possibly also your pelvis and diaphragm, to support the flow of energy and cranial fluid through your whole body and central and autonomic nervous systems. At times, the sessions will be deeply quiet. At times, the sessions will involve more verbal consideration relative to the sensations that are arising in your body and feelings that may arise. Your session may be deeply contemplative and nourishing or it may sensitively unravel something stuck in your body or heart that has been longing to be felt.

Your session will end with quiet integration time, a closing check in, and a closing assignment to support your ongoing empowerment and participation in your healing process.

It is ideal to allow for an hour or so after a session for your continued integration: going on a walk, writing in a journal, resting, eating a good meal. Whatever is nourishing! If none of this is possible, that’s okay too :)

I love helping you feel empowered and whole in your body so that you can be supported in big life transitions, rest into the depth of your well-being, feel more, find your center with ease, and make great decisions from that place.

There is a potent and integrating power in working with and healing the autonomic nervous system, because the bottom line is this: If our nervous system's are chronically out of balance, so is our body's innate capacity to heal itself.

What happens then? Sleep becomes erratic, agitation becomes easy, overwhelm happens even with seemingly minor events, pain becomes chronic, isolation becomes more prominent (even if it doesn't look like it), and emotional numbness can become the norm.

Another bottom line is this: It is completely possible to heal and re-pattern. The body has a profound capacity to heal when we simply create a safe, conscious space for that to occur. And, I love co-creating that space with you.

My training is extensive, both as a practitioner and a somatic educator. Over the last twenty years, I have had thousands of hours of study, practice, and teaching experience.

Personally, my life is rooted in this consideration. It became clear at a young age that I needed to learn and practice nervous system balance and integration (after being a type-A academic tending toward high stress). At 21, I became a serious student of classical hatha yoga and classical South Indian Temple dance - both of which are ancient whole bodily systems oriented around the lines of light, regeneration, and free energy of the nervous system and brain core. I fell in love with these arts but over time fundamentally hungered for something else, both personally and professionally; this is when the transformational power of Craniosacral Therapy coupled with nervous system healing entered my life.

When, despite all personal efforts, I went through a serious period of adrenal exhaustion, Craniosacral Therapy with a nervous system healing emphasis supported the body-mind becoming whole again. When I got into a serious whiplash car accident, Craniosacral Therapy undoubtedly quickened the healing process.

My work with you is fully informed by my extensive training and practice, but also by personal life experience.

“Rose’s massages have a magical way of making my body and mind feel so alive and at one. Rose has a way of communicating throughout the massage that feels so supportive, grounding, and safe.”

“I’ve been getting massages my entire life, and this is the first massage that has significantly and positively affected my posture. I am amazed. I am deeply grateful.”

“Rose is an incredibly caring, intuitive, and effective healer. I have always treated massage as a luxury but after only a few sessions with Rose, I am understanding the broader benefits for my overall health and healing and it just keeps getting better. I am so grateful to have found Rose as a trusted partner in my health and well being.”

“It’s already helped guide me through my latest cycle, and I’ve referred to it multiple times in speaking to friends already. Plus it is absolutely stunning and has a special place on my bedroom wall. What an important contribution for those of us wanting to get even more in touch with the interconnectedness of our bodies and the natural world.”

“As soon as I unfurled the moontime medicine chart I was enthralled. The beauty, the organization, and the information contained is amazing. I wanted to put it on my wall right away…and I am a man! This chart is useful and beautiful for people with or without ovaries.”

“I have my moon time medicine chart hanging next to my desk where I’m studying Chinese and Integrative Medicine. The art catches my eye and reminds me to check in frequently with where I’m at in my monthly cycle and how I can honor it.”
