About Us

"The core intent of my work is to support the natural, inherent healing process we all posses to remove the physical, emotional, and spiritual blocks so that one may experience good health, happiness, and overall well-being in all areas of life." ~Brian

CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle form of bodywork, received fully clothed, that evaluates and releases tensions and restrictions in and around the central nervous system (CNS). Through the body we release these tensions and restrictions from the fascial system (connective tissues) as these may be putting unnecessary tension on nerve roots in the spine.

To access the tissues and fluid of the nervous system, we use the bones of the cranium... more

A first time massage in an unfamiliar environment can be a bit uneasy. Brian presented himself in a very knowledgeable and professional manner. His practice is very soft, warm and inviting. It was easy for me to relax, which I have a hard time doing. Whatever expectations I had were met, tenfold. I'm happy that Groupon opened this door for me, and I will most assuredly be returning for therapy and consult.

It was my first CranioSacral visit. Not knowing what to expect, I have no way to comment. It probably works, but I would prefer a massage! The waiting room is to dark and it was not a good place.

I wasn't what craniosacral was 100% it was a very good experience but really wished my knots were addressed more. Brian did expl thoroughly about craniosacral and what he was going to do. The room was very relaxing with candles & decor.

by Heidi on Mar 2017

Everything with Brian's services are perfect. He has deep insight into your issues and can help you out. I had both a Stress Buster massage with Craniosacral therapy as well as Craniosacral therapy and I would go again if I ever needed to destress or calm my nerves. I was surprised that I became so relaxed, because it is very difficult for me since I have Myofascial pain syndrome, migraine/tension headaches, muscle spasms and a type of neuralgia where pain shoots up behind my eyes. But I was very relieved at the sessions and would highly recommend it for anyone. I've had dozens of massages and I never felt as relaxed as I did at Brian's. If I had a stressful event coming up, I would go to Brian Thayer again.

Really phenomenal! Brian really understands how various things impact the body, and does a great job of explaining how craniosacral therapy works to help relieve the body's manifestation of these things. And the treatment was better than what I hoped for. I am looking forward to my next sessions!

I thought he was very informative about the massage and how to self heal. Honestly, I was looking for someone who would concentrate more on specific knots when found and more cranial sacral would have been included. Overall if you are looking for a nice, well mannered, knowledgeable massage therapist who gives a great relaxation massage then he's the guy. The entrance to the business is also very strange, when I arrived and opened the unmarked front door I was scared, not the best first impression. But thank you.
