I am a certified Craniosacral therapist through the Upledger Institute. I have been practicing Craniosacral since 2018. However, my bodywork practice began with massage therapy over a decade ago. Of all the modalities I have studied, I find Upledger’s Somato Emotional Release (SER) to be the most profound work. In my own healing, its SER that’s leads me to the truth and thus, the healing. 

John Upledger, the visionary osteopath who founded the Upledger Institute, draws from the works of: Dr. AT Stills DO, Dr. William Sutherland DO, psychologists Fritz Perls and Carl Jung, to create craniosacral’s SER techniques. Along with other teachers, shamans, psychics, hypnotherapists and dolphins (one of his favorite teachers) Upledger discovered therapies that facilitates the patient to find their inner physician, the one who truly knows how to heal. 

In own healing journey with this work, I feel I was able to face myself. I realized my body cannot lie like my mind. Working somatically, was the missing piece to uprooting the beliefs anchored to addictions. My SER mentor once said, “the inner work does you or you do it.” I feel this is so true…and reminds me that SER opens the door to path of inner work that ultimately must be done alone. SER techniques along with meditation continue to be my guiding light, one am honored to share with others who to venture into the shadows. 

I live in South Portland where my husband, a chiropractor, and I have a small home practice. We became parents in January of 2023. We find ourselves growing a more family oriented practice these days.
