Meet Debra! I am an advanced Registered Massage Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist with 4 core levels from Upledger including 2 levels of Somatic Emotional Release. I am also a Manual Osteopath. I am passionate about finding and treating the root causes of the disruptions within the body using a combination of techniques. My goal for each session is to balance the body’s physical structure including fascial restrictions and functions of all the body systems. This includes focusing and working on the Central Nervous System and vagus nerve to balance the Sympathetic Nervous System (fight, flight, freeze) and Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest). Treating the body as a unit promotes the body’s ability to self-correct dysfunctions, decrease pain, relax, and assist with mind-body reconnection. Somatic emotional release may happen during treatments. This is a mind-body approach to releasing trauma which is very profound in the healing process. 

These gentle techniques are effective for all ages. Some conditions that can be addressed include but not limited to migraines/headaches, stress-tension related disorders, anxiety and depression, chronic neck/back pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, PTSD, concussion symptoms, learning differences/ADHD, orthopedic problems, digestive issues, postpartum issues and so much more.
