Starting Points
RelieveRestore your body with any of the following Relieve sessions
| Intention: | Relieve |
|---|---|
| Outcome: | Restore |
| Center: | Body |
The outcome that Relieve clients want is to Restore the body, whether to restore comfort, ease, flexibility, range of motion, stability, alignment, balance, or a combination of these.
If you are looking for stress relief, you may be better served by a Relax session. Reframe sessions are best for those focused on mental or emotional issues.
Relieve clients may have:
Would you want to go to a psychotherapist whose main technique was just to tell you his or her opinions on what you should do? Or would you want a therapist to listen carefully to your complaints and help facilitate a process in which you solved your own problems? Your body wants the same respect and empowerment that you would want for the rest of yourself.
Imagine being listened to carefully, and then touched in the same way. Your area of concern is the area of focus, which often involves working on other, related areas first—loosening surrounding areas, giving overworked muscles some slack, opening up space in which to breathe and let go.
Your body provides the instruction manual: Which muscle groups are imbalanced? Where is range of motion restricted? Where does the tissue want to go? What wants to unwind?
You provide the constraints: Are you willing to do the homework required to maintain the results of a deep tissue session? Are you open to giving unfamiliar forms of bodywork a chance to help you?

Craniosacral is my first-line tool to help people relieve pain and injuries, because it is so powerful yet so gentle.
It often resolves issues more quickly than other modalities because it proceeds non-linearly, and allows the body to direct 100% of the healing, which arises from within rather than being imposed on the body from the outside.
Clients usually experience reductions or complete disappearance of pain, and often discover, in the days after sessions, an increased awareness of the source(s) of their troubles. One Yelp review in particular describes the power of this work.
I use at least some craniosacral in nearly all of my sessions, but a full session is a unique experience and designed to be affordable to all.
