Tailoring Your Bodywork Experience to Suit Your Needs.

Every person is different, every body is different -- and everyone deserves to be treated individually.  That is why I tailor each bodywork session to the particular needs of each client ...  as they are, on the day of their session.  I work with my clients - I don't do my work to them.

Every person is different, every body is different -- and everyone deserves to be treated individually.  That is why I tailor each bodywork session to the particular needs of each client ...  as they are, on the day of their session.  I work with my clients - I don't do my work to them.

I offer Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Zero Balancing, Healing from the Core, some OrthoBionomy, Reiki, and Therapeutic Massage services.  I also offer Distance work, which many say can actually be more profound than in person. Learn more about these services at http://cooperative-healing.com.  

Whether you're looking for or lasting change, or a relaxing session to melt away today's stress, I will work with you to reach your goals.

Craniosacral Therapy

I recently began working with an elderly gentleman, in his home. Before I began seeing him, he was on a lot of pain medication, and still complained regularly of pain, often crying out. He had seen a few massage therapists, at least one of whom actually continued her treatment without modification even though he was crying out in more pain. He was taking so much pain medication that it was affecting his lucidity, and he was doing less, remembering less, and understanding less each day. I worked with him using a combination of CranioSacral Therapy and massage. He immediately noticed a reduction in pain that lasted longer each session. Very soon, they were able to reduce his pain medication levels. His lucidity returned, and he began conversing, and even playing games of bridge again. After a time, I noticed signs of sleep apnea in a session - and they reduced his pain medication yet again. Continued therapy is allowing him to sleep well, be comfortable most of the time, and enjoy the times when he is with his children again. I love my job.

Helen has a healing touch. After trying all the traditional ways to alleviate my back pain, without much relief, Helen managed it quickly and painlessly. Amazing.
by Amanda on Mar 15
Helen was very attentive. She listened to my body and noticed it wasn’t communicating the same as I thought my mind was. She changed her approach and was able to provide a much needed session. I look forward to my next appointment.

Different approach than I am used to but good results in the end.

Give it a try! Helen has so many skills, she is sure to find what works for you!

If you understand what cranial sacral massage is, then you know what she does and she’s exceptional at it. If you’re expecting a traditional massage, you won’t get it.

I love going to Helen— she has a healing touch and a warm and caring vibe. I’ve been seeing her for a few years now, and I can feel a difference in not only my physical body, but also in my attitude towards myself as a whole person.

I love how the massage was tailored to my specific issues and preferences, with great communication all the way. Helen's knowledge of multiple techniques really make it an exceptional massage.

Pays attention to exactly what you need and music playing is very soothing. Concerned for clients who have immunities. Appreciate her care and knowledge of her field.
