If you haven’t tried Craniosacral Therapy, this is why you
should…
You may have heard of the very gentle form of bodywork
called Craniosacral Therapy. If you have, then you know that it’s supposed to
help at a minimum to calm the central nervous system. For some people it helps
them with insomnia, headache and migraines, or general stress. I like to tell
my clients that it expands our ability to respond to stress and stimulus, it
re-patterns the brain, breaks the stress cycle, allows you to stop repetitive
thought patterns, and creates the ability to feel empowered.
This technique was founded many years ago and has been developed
and researched by the late Dr. John Upledger. At the Upledger Institute they
have continued with Dr. John’s research and have continued to develop courses
that work with the brain, fetal development and embryology, infant/pediatric
care, Sensory Integration, and many more avenues of application. You can visit www.Upledger.com for more information on
their programs and credentials. I am currently completing the advanced training
in Obstetrics and Pediatrics.
My passion for the work began after I fractured my tailbone
snowboarding. The work quickly evolved to address events that had led to a PTSD
diagnosis when I was 19. Learning how this gentle technique could help my brain
change the way it responds to certain stimulus was fascinating to me. Many
years later after my son was born, I dealt with Postpartum Depression. I did
not seek treatment at the time. After I had my daughter and experienced moments
of the worst depression I had ever experienced, I finally found the resources
that I needed to pull out of my mental state. The three things that I did were
regular yoga and meditation, working with a naturopath, and regular
Craniosacral Therapy. While I feel that each of these things made a deep and
significant difference in my healing, the Craniosacral Therapy has had the most
lasting effect in how I think and respond to daily situations. Meditation
helped me to feel less fearful, yoga provided me with inner strength and
balance, my naturopath showed me that I’m beautiful and strong while helping me
create a new way of being. Craniosacral Therapy showed me how to pause, gave me
the quiet that I needed to look at my situations and not react, helped me to
remove belief patterns that didn’t serve me, and gave me back to me. I’m not
saying that this will happen for everyone or anyone. I just know that it’s
possible.
If you want to experience what’s possible, I’m offering a
3-session package for new clients and old clients that have not yet experienced
Craniosacral Therapy. The 3-pack cost is $195. You can book your first session
at www.bookeo.com/emilynelson
or call me at 303-591-7570. I look forward to starting the journey of wellness
with you. I feel honored to be able to give this gift back to my community, for
without it I would still wonder what it feels like to be whole.
