CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on approach that involves "listening with fingers" to the body's subtle rhythms and any patterns of distress. The emphasis of treatment is to encourage and enhance the body's own self-healing and self-regulation. Craniosacral therapy takes a whole-person approach to healing. The inter-connections of mind, body, and spirit are acknowledged, as well as how the body reflects experiences and retains the memory of trauma. (Most surgeries, car accidents, and falls leave memory in the body, which can create pain, discomfort, and habitual behaviors.) It is an effective form of treatment for a wide range of conditions. This practice is safe for children.

TRAUMA RESOLUTION
Peggy employs the awareness of body sensation to help people "renegotiate" and heal their traumas rather than relive them. With appropriate guidance and the body's instinctive "felt sense," individuals are able to access their own built-in immunity to trauma, allowing the highly aroused survival energies to be safely and gradually discharged. When these energies are discharged, people frequently experience a disappearance or dramatic reduction of their traumatic symptoms. The symptoms of trauma are the result of a highly activated incomplete biological response to threat, frozen in time. By enabling this rozen response to thaw, then complete, trauma can be healed.

PRE AND PERI NATAL PSYCHOLOGY
Craniosacral work is essential following birth because of the intensity of the compressions for the baby coming through the birth canal. (Even if the birth goes smoothly.) Traumatic events during pregnancy, birth, infancy and early childhood can weaken the onds that are vital to the experience of safety, love, and expressions of joy. If your baby has experienced prenatal or birth complications they may begin to show signs of distress such as colic and trouble nursing or sleeping. You may also notice long lasting cranial molding or hypersensitivity. Resolution of trauma allows babies and parents to move on, strengthened by their experience, free to enjoy life more fully.
