WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL WORK?

The Craniosacral System
The craniosacral system consists of a system of membranes inside the cranium, the spinal cord, the brain, cerebro-spinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, and 22 cranial bones. It extends from the bones of the skull, face, and mouth (the cranium) down to the sacrum.

Craniosacral Work
Craniosacral work is safe and gentle form of bodywork using a light touch to encourage your body and central nervous system to balance and heal itself. It is a wholistic approach to healing supporting optimal health to your mind, body, and spirit.

What can you expect in a session?
Craniosacral treatment begins after completing a thorough consultation and evaluation. Each session begins with a "check-in" between you and Kellie after which you will be invited to lie on the comfortable treatment table. Time on the table during a typical 90 minute session runs between 60 and 80 minutes. During that time, you will feel several contacts and may feel more deeply relaxed. Through a deepening of self-awareness and through your own inner process, over time you begin to let go and release areas of resistance held within the body caused by trauma or illness. Responsive, receptive, intuitive sessions are emphasized in this work. It is not about "fixing" a problem. Our bodies’ ability to self correct is honored. Craniosacral work is about listening and following and allowing the innate wisdom of the body to express itself fully and to assist the release of blockages and bring all systems into balance.

Wear loose comfortable clothing with no belts, ties, turtlenecks, jeans or spandex. Make sure you are well hydrated before the session. Allow transition time before and after the session to assist your body in integrating the session. Time in nature after the session is ideal.

What are the benefits of a session?

Craniosacral work is beneficial for people of all ages from newborn babies to the elderly. From those who are experiencing acute conditions due to a recent injury, to those experiencing chronic problems, to those who feel fine and want to experience greater vitality and a deeper sense of calm and balance.

It can provide relief from:

  • Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ)

  • Headaches and Migraines

  • Back, Neck and Facial pain

  • Sciatica

Nhat Hanh’s poetic words describes the benefits of craniosacral work:

"Now you know the sacred is everywhere
Now you know the miniature is inside you
You find the essence if you can find
The gift moment that has all of it inside
A deeply felt, fully breathed life."

"I was in a serious auto accident and everything in my body tightened like stone. I was immobilized. Kellie's experienced touch dissolved all of the tension and I could move again after the first session. After several sessions, I can now do all my regular activities and workout! I don't know what I would have done without her!"
CW 40's Female Business Owner and Single Parent

"I have had headaches and chronic neck and shoulder pain for years. Kellie's treatments have helped dissolve the pain, loosen my muscles and joints and I no longer have headaches. Her touch is deeply relaxing. She has helped me with some stretching to do at home which also really helps."
CJ 50's Male Manager

"I have had TMJ with severe jaw pain for years. I worked with many professionals including massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, doctors, and my dentist for a long time which would help short term but not long term. After seeing Kellie once, my jaw pain is gone! She has helped keep the pain away with periodic treatments and self care she taught to me which I diligently practice at home."
JJ 60's Female Executive

I've known Kellie for many years, as an enlightened teacher, a wise counselor, and a gifted facilitator of Kundalini Yoga classes, women's groups, workshops, and retreats. Her insights have always been a source of strength and guidance for me, especially in times of challenge and change.
KC, 50's Female Executive Marketing Professional, Los Gatos, California

Kellie is a gifted healer with a tender yet confident and knowledgeable touch. Her cranial sacral work is profoundly relaxing. A treatment with Kellie has to be experienced to be understood--her abilities are, in many ways, just "out of this world"!
CR, 50's Female Yoga Teacher, SLC, UT

I am so blessed to have Kellie as part of the Team that is work with me on my healing. Kellie is so blessed to have a Gift that she uses to help people. There are no words to express the work that Kellie does in locating and dispersing the emotional blocks that were keeping me from experiencing complete wellbeing and moving forward. She is an amazing and exceptionally gifted healer and I thank her for being herself and using her Gifts in the work she has chosen.
Sheila, 60's Female, SLC, UT

Working with Kellie has been a profound experience for me. Having worked in so many healing modalities, I didn't expect the depth and extend of the impact of her work on my body and spirit. I am forever changed by the work I have done with her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting a profound shift in their being.
