Craniosacral Therapy in Lake Oswego Oregon

Craniosacral Therapy & Myofascial Release in Portland, OR

For chronic stress and nervous system support

Craniosacral therapy and myofascial release are gentle, hands-on approaches that support nervous system regulation, fascial tension patterns, and whole-body relaxation.

This work is designed for people who feel like their body has been carrying stress and tension for years—even when everything looks "normal."

I see this pattern a lot:

Deeply feeling.

“Sensitive” as a kid.

High achiever. Perfectionist.

Nagging anxiety for as long as they can remember.

Pushed through everything.

Hit a wall and started falling apart.

Couldn't push anymore.

Burnt out.

Told over and over again there's nothing wrong.

Labs normal, but doesn’t feel normal.

That's who this work is for.

What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports nervous system regulation, body awareness, and relaxation.

Unlike deeper forms of bodywork that focus on forcing tissues to release, craniosacral therapy uses light touch and subtle techniques to work with the body's own patterns.

Many people who are drawn to craniosacral therapy are people who have spent years pushing through, holding tension, and staying in a state of "doing."

This work creates space for the body to shift out of constant effort and into a state where it can begin to soften and regulate.

How Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release Work Together

The body is connected through a network of fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, joints, and organs.

Fascia helps coordinate movement and communication throughout the body. Stress, injuries, repetitive patterns, and years of tension can influence how the body holds itself.

Craniosacral therapy and myofascial release work together to support these patterns through gentle touch, helping the nervous system and tissues move toward more balance.

This Approach May Be a Good Fit If You Experience:

  • Headaches, jaw tension or facial/neck tension

  • Chronic stress or feeling constantly “on edge”

  • Pain or tension with no clear cause

  • Always wired, exhausted, or unable to fully relax

  • Old injuries that never fully resolved

  • Pain that moves around or doesn’t make sense

  • Hypermobility or EDS

Who Is This Work For?

The Connection Between Fascia, Stress, and Minerals

Fascia, the nervous system, and the body's ability to recover are influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, hydration, nutrition, and minerals.

Minerals like magnesium support normal muscle and nerve function and are one piece of the bigger picture of how the body responds to stress and tension.

What To Expect During a Session

Sessions are gentle, slow-paced, and individualized.

You remain fully clothed, and the work does not involve forceful techniques or intraoral (inside-the-mouth) work.

This is a full-body fascia and nervous system-focused session—not TMJ therapy.

If you are looking for support with jaw pain, clicking, clenching, or TMJ symptoms, visit the TMJ Therapy page.

If you are ready for a gentler approach to working with tension, stress patterns, and your nervous system, this may be a good fit.

Hypermobility and EDS in Portland Oregon

Hypermobility & EDS

Living with hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can make traditional bodywork uncomfortable—or even counterproductive.

Because hypermobile bodies may respond differently to pressure, stretching, and manual techniques, a gentler approach can be a better fit.

My approach combines Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy using slow, intentional touch to support the body without overstretching sensitive tissues.

As someone who understands the unique challenges of hypermobility, this work is a personal passion.
