Nervous system regulation
Services
Craniosacral Therapy
This gentle manual therapy focuses on the central nervous system's regulation through subtle cranial rhythm adjustments. By addressing restrictions in the craniosacral system, we help alleviate chronic pain, migraines, and trauma-related tension while promoting deep relaxation and neurological healing. Sessions combine biodynamic and structural approaches for comprehensive nervous system support.
Reiki Energywork
Usui tradition Reiki sessions channel universal life force energy to restore balance in the body's energy systems. This non-invasive modality supports emotional release, stress reduction, and chakra alignment through light touch or hands-off techniques. Practitioners trained in advanced Reiki attunements work with subtle energy fields to dissolve blockages and enhance natural healing processes.
Somatic Coaching
Integrative coaching combines somatic awareness with psychological frameworks to transform limiting patterns. Using Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting techniques, we help clients develop body-based resources for emotional regulation, boundary setting, and personal empowerment through both in-person and virtual sessions.
Myofascial Unwinding
Targeted myofascial techniques address connective tissue restrictions that contribute to chronic pain and postural imbalances. This 125-hour specialized training enables practitioners to identify and release fascial adhesions through sustained pressure and guided movement, improving mobility and reducing systemic tension patterns.
Brainspotting
Level II certified Brainspotting sessions access deep brain regions to process traumatic memories and emotional distress. By identifying eye positions that correlate with specific neurophysiological states, this evidence-based method facilitates trauma resolution and nervous system regulation through bilateral sound and mindful awareness.

I absolutely love my sessions with Sarah. She's an empathetic person who is open to having conversations before the session starts about what's been going on and what you think you might need. No worries if you don't know she can use her almost magical skills to help just the same. I feel so relaxed after a session and this carries through the days after. It definitely improves my mind, body, and spirit.

Sarah is an empathic, compassionate woman who is very skilled in healing work with lots of approaches to help in the best way. She's a blessing to have as part of my care team. I leave sessions feeling so much more relaxed and this sense of peace carries throughout several days usually. She strives to meet me where I am at in my needs and does so quite successfully. I would highly recommend her.

Report
Highly recommend because I benefit enormously from her bodywork. She offers a unique and holistic healing service that can be tailored to each client, honing in on problem areas and addressing them appropriately. Sarah clearly communicates to establish expectations and a is warm and kind person. I feel that my health and well being have significantly improved since I started treatments with her. I feel so fantastic - clear, calm, and great when I leave a session. I find the location to be convenient and the space comforting. I will reschedule as often as I am able to.
