Sundown Healing Arts

Intuitive, compassionate bodywork for trauma

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy, created by Dr. John Upledger, releases restrictions in the craniosacral system (a fluid system surrounding the brain and spinal cord) using very light touch. It also addresses “energy cysts”, which are pockets of energy left behind in the body by physical and emotional trauma. Dramatic release of long-standing problems can result from this gentle form of bodywork. Treatments are given over clothes on a padded table.

Somato-Emotional Release, an advanced technique of CranioSacral Therapy, offers you the opportunity to reach and release trauma stored deep in the body. Your body and spirit non-consciously evaluate the situation and touch you are receiving, and bring up traumas that you feel ready to process and heal.

I trained in CranioSacral Therapy and Somato-Emotional Release with The Upledger Institute.

People Say

Katharine B.

Sonia was very good at getting tight, painful muscles to relax. Her massage technique uses very smooth and gentle movements -- nothing abrupt or startling. Besides the pain management, I get massage because it feels good and her massage is really enjoyable and soothing. Continue Reading (click twice)
