Nurse Practitioner
CranioSacral Therapy
Hello….Welcome to my website.
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me, my approach to health care, and CranioSacral Therapy. In the other sections of this web site I expand on these topics, but in brief, I am a Nurse Practitioner with many years of clinical experience and have now created a practice specializing in providing CranioSacral Therapy for people of all ages, and in all stages of life. This educated, soft touch, complementary therapy was developed by Dr. John Upledger, a skilled Osteopath, in the 1970’s and can be used to treat chronic and acute health conditions.
I have always been intrigued by how the human body works and how to most effectively help people move toward health. I also love to help people heal. Being able to provide CranioSacral Therapy to patients combines all these interests and passions. In all my years working as a clinician, I have found CranioSacral Therapy to be one of the most effective ways to work toward health and balance. CranioSacral Therapy can be used alone or in collaboration with traditional medical treatment and other integrative medicine modalities to create a holistic, individualized approach to promoting health. I would love to talk to you and discuss your health care needs and goals and see if CranioSacral Therapy will work for you.
Hope to talk to you soon.
Best
Cindy
My Approach
Throughout my many years of clinical experience as a nurse practitioner caring for patients and their families, I have always used a collaborative, holistic approach. I use this same approach in my craniosacral practice. When I first meet with you for therapy, we will discuss the results you would like from receiving craniosacral therapy. From this dialogue, we can together determine measurable, objective,care outcomes. This will provide us with a guide for your therapy. We can then evaluate progress and determine if craniosacral therapy is working toward achieving your goals of care. Health assessments will be done at every visit. Any new health care needs identified will be addressed as they arise. You run the show; it is your therapy, delivered in the way you want it, you guide your therapy path.
Contact Me
I offer appointments for 60 minute sessions in Orinda and the Monterey Bay Area. An initial phone consultation will be done to assess if you are good candidate for CranioSacral Therapy. All phone calls and emails will be returned within 48 hours.
