Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch (generally no greater than 5 grams—about the weight of a nickel), practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

Expressive Process Art
Expressive Process Art is used as an advanced tool to awaken creativity, provide an outlet for metaphor, while opening the door for the subconscious mind to express the deeper insights of the soul.
Flowtrition
Flowtrition is a gentle touch that encourages the integration of emotional or physical traumas that are being stored in the body as tension. It was developed by chiropractic doctor Dr. Lance Wright as a means of finding the touch, nutrition, and thoughts that best promote growth, evolution, and healing of the nervous system. A Flowtrition practitioner is not trying to fix or change anyone, but to connect through a light touch and let the nervous system decide what it wants to do next. For many people this can lead to symptom relief, but that is not the primary purpose. We are allowing the body the opportunity to make changes from within, which is more empowering than trying to force something to change when it is not ready. Learn more here.

Inner Presence™ Coaching
This is a coaching framework built on Internal Family Systems™ Model, which views a person as having many distinctive “parts,” each of which is designed to—and wants to—play a valuable role within. Trauma and other life experiences can knock these parts out of their natural roles, reorganizing the inner system in unhealthy ways. Once the hurt has been acknowledged with awareness and compassion, your inner “family” can reset itself into its natural, healthy roles. Learn more here.

Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback places sensors on the scalp to measure your brain waves and track changes. Neurofeedback training is like “exercise for the brain,” placing sensors on the scalp to measure your brain waves and track changes in real time. First, a custom Quantitative Electroencephalograph (QEEG) assessment objectively evaluates a person’s brainwave patterns, generating a detailed, individualized report of the individual’s brain function, including how and where your brain could be functioning better. Neurofeedback treatment cycles typically last anywhere from 2-6 months, depending on your goals & QEEG results. During treatments (which typically last one hour), you watch a movie or your choice, while your brainwave activity is monitored by several intentionally placed sensors. The picture and sound will flicker, alerting your brain to its own dysregulation so it can self-correct. Learn more here.
Shadow Work®
This practice uses role-playing and experiential processes to explore beliefs, characteristics, and fears that come from our unconscious conditioning. Bringing these unaccepted “parts” into the light in a symbolic space allows you to reframe these experiences and dig up the roots of most unhealthy behavior patterns and reframe them in an empowered way.
