I am committed to helping you relieve pain, prevent injury, build mind-body awareness and generally support your overall wellbeing. After 23 years of experience, my manual therapy style has become a blend of myofascial, craniosacral and massage techniques.  I specialize in head/neck/jaw issues, which include TMJD and shoulder conditions. I am here to not just help relieve pain, but help your body reorganize, so you can be your best functioning and connected self.

Your choices:

Craniosacral: a gentle but powerful modality that facilitates your body's self-correction through the nervous system. This modality can create deep stillness. If this is triggering for you, choose the blended modality first. Choose TMJ or other focus if you need.

Blended modality: craniosacral blended with massage/myofascial work, for those that still need some muscle work due to high tensions or just relax more deeply when there is skin/skin contact.

Therapeutic Massage: for those not interested in craniosacral at all and would like to just get a straight medical or relaxation massage. Choose the Deep Tissue add on if you want a Deep Tissue treatment.

I suggest 90 minute treatments for any complex or long-standing issue.

Why I blend craniosacral...
The key signatures of my manual therapy are intuitive listening and recognition of whole-body patterns. In my 23 years of doing bodywork, I have found that tissue and energies do not release in a lasting way without patience and “making friends" with the central nervous system. Most of the guarding around pain and holding patterns in our bodies requires this kind of patience and trust. However, I adjust depth and pressure to what the body can allow without creating guarding, so you get what you need where you need it. Often pain and tension patterns are due to repetitive strain, posture misalignments or stress patterns we can address. Your body has its own inner wisdom and ability to heal; it just needs more resources at times to do so.  Craniosacral encourages this connected witness and communication so your body can heal itself. 

I look forward to working with you!

Certified in Myofascial Release

90 hours of advanced myofascial release techniques, many of them similar to structural integration or rolfing techniques. Great for postural alignment pain & dysfunction, sport performance and overuse patterns or injuries.

Craniosacral Therapy

Over 70 hours of advanced Craniosacral Therapy training through Sacred Journey Institute near Chicago. Great for calming mind & body while also integrating, releasing trauma large to small and restoring function in the body's subtle movements. I blend this modality often with my energy work listed below.

Energy Work - Body Hologram

System of energy work developed to remove the variety of energetic obstacles or scripts an individual takes on over time, while connecting to stability, personal empowerment, centeredness and clarity to sustain changes. Priorities are created by listening to the body's wisdom, higher self and Body Hologram teams. This work is subtle yet powerfully aligns you with your purpose and path.

Sound Healing - Acutonics

Beautiful yet Powerful sound healing modality that uses tuning fork frequencies to promote harmony in the body through acupuncture points & beyond. Frequencies are attuned to the music of the spheres and can be used to relieve pain, relax & calm, or a customized session for your given intention. A wonderful adjunct or add on to energy work or massage that helps change happen more smoothly and completely.

Carrie very attentive listens to client and what their needs are and what is expected from the session.

Carrie is intuitive, skillful and generous with her time. Her work is a beautiful blend of gentleness and strength. My energetic and physical bodies always feel so held and supported during my sessions. I have been seeing Carrie for 5+ years now and will continue to for many more to come!

Carrie was awesome. I had some injuries and a) she made them feel better and b) she intuitively knew how I could prevent them (by changing how I walk). Since my massage I've been pain free (when I remember to walk how she suggested.) Great environment and vibe.

Amazing experience from start to end! Helped my back tremendously!

I had a TMJ massage last week and it made a noticeable difference. My jaw felt looser, tension reduced, and even my headaches eased up. The therapist was gentle but effective, and took time to explain everything. Highly recommend if you deal with clenching or jaw tightness.
