Recovery is Possible.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is typically a set of symptoms, both physical and cognitive, that follow a traumatic event. While there is a vast range of symptoms, those of PTSD tend to be rather disruptive to one’s everyday life.
We were designed to heal. We do not have to live with the debilitating effects of these symptoms. I had a teacher once say that it should be called PTS because it really isn’t a disorder, it is a perfectly understandable response to trauma.
I have to say I agree.
How can CranioSacral Therapy Help?
CranioSacral Therapy addresses a wide range of symptoms one may be experiencing as a result of their trauma. With its ability to balance the central nervous system and improve functioning of the brain and spinal cord, this gentle therapy can greatly impact those that may have experienced whiplash, spinal injuries, concussions and even traumatic brain injuries. As this work was being developed, Dr. John Upledger had the experience that as our physical tissues released, sometimes emotions surfaced along with it that were present at the time of the original insult or injury. Techniques were further developed to support the individual working through these experiences. This is what we call SomatoEmotional Release. For more information, please see my SomatoEmotional Release page.
How do we recover?
Healing never happens in isolation, it takes multiple practitioners to help one person recover. Most effectively applied in a multi-hands setting, our care team can help unlock your tissues and restore functioning of your body and your mind. From here you will want to seek additional support in processing and repatterning what we discover. This may be in the form of counseling from a licensed professional, physical therapy or other types of body/mind centered therapy.
Therapeutic Programs
A therapy program is where one receives multi-hands craniosacral therapy multiple days in a row. Sometimes therapy programs also include adjunct therapies such as acupuncture, aquatic therapy, structural integration, visceral manipulation, sound therapy and more as time, availability and desire permit. Therapy programs are typically held away from your everyday life, lodging near or on site, to allow for total emersion into the experience and exploration of your “inner world”
We are excited to announce that three-day programs are now available here locally in/around Lawrence, Kansas as well as at our affiliate company, Infinite Touch, LLC, in the Lake of the Ozarks area. Please contact us for more information and to schedule

Dolphins?
Some of the more profound work that I have experienced both personally and professionally would be dolphin facilitated therapy. While unconventional, it is rather effective at restoring the individual and can be a crucial part of one's healing process.
