Meniers & Cranial Sacral

I have had some success treating a person with Meniers disease. There was a gradual decrease in episodes of vertigo until the bouts of dizziness only threatened to come on and then they stopped. The dizziness would start to come back -although not as severe as before – after major physical activity and high stress.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Perhaps the best treatment for whiplash is Cranial Sacral Therapy. It is one of the few treatments that can be done the same day as a car accident. It is so gentle and beneficial for spinal whiplash because it is not manipulation but rather an aid to help the body recover with it’s own inherent […]

TMJ & TMD

While TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint refers to the joint only, jaw dysfunction or TMD – Temporomandibular Dysfunction – is a fairly common disorder involving jaw pain, headaches and usually painful clicking when opening your mouth. Clenching and grinding can also be involved. Besides wearing a mouthguard at night and or during the day, getting Cranial […]

Colitis & CST

If you are suffering from colitis, cranial sacral might provide you with relief. I have recently helped someone by working on their colon. A very large release occurred that was very palpable to both myself and my client. The result was an 80% improvement in symptoms. Never underestimate the power of the human body to […]

The therapy focuses on the cranial sacral system, which consists of the bones, membranes, and cerebrospinal fluid that protect and support the brain and spinal cord. By working with this system, Cranial Sacral […]

Anxiety & PTSD

One of the best therapies to reduce anxiety is Cranial Sacral. It is excellent for calming down the nervous and taking people out of flight or fight and returning them to rest and relaxation. My clients who suffer from anxiety often tell me – after a treatment – that they have not felt that relaxed […]

Migraine Relief

Recently, I have helped a client who was getting 6-7 migraines over a two week period. After a few treatments, the frequency was reduced to 1 migraine in two weeks, I have helped several people who experience migraines in the past but it usually takes more than 2 treatments. Focusing on the sacrum is my […]

ICBC Coverage for Cranial Sacral

ICBC is now covering up to $1000 for Cranial Sacral Therapy. Due to the fact that I’m not a registered massage therapist, physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor; direct billing is not available. Receipts for treatments are submitted to ICBC for reimbursement. Update on ICBC Coverage: As of April 2023, Cranial Sacral is only covered under Registered […]
