Certified CranioSacral Therapist - CST-DKaruna Reiki® Master Teacher and PractitionerUsui Reiki Master Teacher & PractitionerCertified Massage Practitioner #33769CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics. Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams – about the weight of a nickel – practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.Reiki is an ancient laying-on-of-palms healing technique that uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. The result of receiving Reiki is a balanced physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. Palms of Reiki was started as a way to promote Reiki as a form of energy healing.
