I am an Upledger Institute certified CranioSacral Therapist. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch therapy that is focused on restoring optimal function in the nervous system. It is a whole body technique usually performed when a client is clothed. It involves gentle holding, stretching and mobilization techniques in the pelvis, along the spine and torso, and in the neck and head. An advanced method in CST called Somato Emotional Release is a therapeutic dialog and imagery technique that is done in some sessions along with the hands on therapy.

Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle intervention focused on moving extracellular fluid in the limbs, trunk and head and neck back into he blood circulatory system via the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes of the body. It is performed directly on skin with rhythmic strokes that gently stretch skin in the direction of lymphatic flow. It is an important intervention to aid in the management of lymphedema and some other types of swelling. I use the Vodder method of MLD and was certified by Klose Training.
