Tired of Putting Everyone Else First?

Book a session

Gentle bodywork for jaw, neck, and throat tension—for the woman who's ready to make room for herself, too.

Do you say yes when you want to say no? Keep the peace at your own expense? Replay conversations wishing you'd spoken up?

Maybe you notice your jaw clenching when you're frustrated, your throat tightening when something needs to be said, or your shoulders creeping up while you're busy taking care of everyone else.

You might be so used to putting your own needs last that you've stopped noticing how much you're holding.

*These sessions do NOT include inside-the-mouth work.

Sound Familiar?

You're the easy one. The peacekeeper.

You learned early that keeping things calm was safer than saying what you really thought.

You're the one who:

  • Takes care of everyone else but struggles to ask for help.

  • Reads the room before deciding how to show up.

  • Says “I'm fine” because explaining what you need feels like too much.

  • Rehearses difficult conversations but sometimes never has them.

  • Apologizes for things that aren't your fault.

  • Feels tension in your jaw, neck, shoulders, or throat when life gets overwhelming.

  • Is tired of being the steady one for everyone else.

Maybe you've spent a lifetime being the person others can count on.

But who makes space for you?

What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on form of bodywork that uses light touch and a slow, attentive approach.

During a session, I work with areas around the head, neck, shoulders, and other parts of the body, following your comfort and how your body responds. I may incorporate myofascial release to address areas of tension in the jaw, neck, throat, and chest.

Sessions are individualized. Nothing is forced, and you remain fully clothed.

Is This Work Right for You?

Craniosacral therapy and myofascial release may be a good fit if you:

  • Notice yourself clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth during stressful periods.

  • Carry tension in your neck, shoulders, throat, or chest.

  • Feel your throat tighten when you want to speak up.

  • Have a hard time relaxing, even when you finally have time to yourself.

  • Find it difficult to say no without feeling guilty.

  • Over-explain, apologize often, or go quiet during conflict.

  • Feel disconnected from your own needs after years of prioritizing others.

  • Want gentle, hands-on care without forceful manipulation.

  • Are curious about exploring the relationship between your physical tension, stress, and self-expression.

The throat chakra is associated with communication, self-expression, truth, and the ability to speak up for yourself.

Think about the times you've said yes when you meant no. Kept quiet because someone else's comfort seemed more important than your own.

These experiences can be connected to physical tension—perhaps a clenched jaw, a tight throat, or shoulders that never relax.

Throat chakra healing offers a way to explore that connection through a spiritual and reflective lens.

In our sessions, gentle bodywork creates an opportunity to slow down and pay attention to what you're feeling, physically and emotionally.

What To Expect During a Session

Sessions are slow, gentle, and individualized.

You stay fully clothed. Nothing is forced, and there’s no inside-the-mouth work.

We’ll often spend time with the jaw, neck, throat, and chest, but this is whole-body work. You might feel deeply relaxed. You might feel emotion rise. You might simply notice what it’s like to stop holding on.

Craniosacral Therapist Portland:

Meet Becky

My work brings together craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and specialized experience with TMJ and jaw-related concerns.

I offer a gentle, individualized approach for people who prefer care that doesn't rely on forceful techniques.

I also recognize that taking care of yourself isn't always as simple as knowing what you need. Sometimes you're so accustomed to taking care of everyone else that slowing down for yourself feels unfamiliar.

My intention is to provide a space where you can arrive as you are.

 FAQs

  • Nope. The chakra system is a helpful map for how emotion and the body connect. The work itself is hands-on bodywork for your nervous system and fascia.

  • Only if you want to. Many sessions are mostly quiet. Your body gets to lead.

  • This is absolutely NOT therapy. This is bodywork. If you’re looking for a somatic-based therapist, I’m happy to share recommendations.

  • The initial session is $180 and is 75 minutes.

  • Insurance companies do not consider Craniosacral Therapy to be “medically necessary.”
