Craniosacral Therapy
This treatment is a very gentle hands-on therapy that I use to help release tensions and restrictions deep in the body and the head to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve overall health.
In my Craniosacral Therapy practice, I work by finding restrictions in the central nervous system and then in all the other systems - fascia, muscle, fluid, nerves, skull plates, and so on. I then apply gentle pressure to influence these structures to move to an optimal position.

"I have been seeing Heather for Craniosacral and Remedial Therapies over the course of 5 years. Without a doubt her treatments instantly make me feel incredible.
I have had 2 C-Sections and her M.S.T.R® Scar Tissue Release Therapy completely changed the exterior look, feel, and sensitivity of my scar. Her work is non invasive but gets instant results and I always leave feeling 100% better than when I walked in.
She has an easy welcoming manner and is very knowledgeable in all her fields. I highly recommend Heather to anybody"
