I am working with one of the most experienced teachers of Craniosacral Biodynamics in North America, Roger Gilchrist, to offer a foundation training in Austin, starting in 2025. I completed his foundation training in Washington DC in 2023, because no training was available in Texas that I hadn’t already taken. (If you’re wondering, a foundation training consists of 10 four-day seminars spread out…

After I started training in Craniosacral Biodynamics in 2013, I was curious about some of the terms that were used, like “the Breath of Life,” “primary respiration,” and “dynamic stillness.” How would I know if I was experiencing these states that are considered integral in practicing Craniosacral Biodynamics? I was meditating a lot, often for 45 minutes or longer, partly because I was on a…

I compile a seasonal summary of the types of issues that my Craniosacral Biodynamics clients have sought my therapeutic help with. Creating these lists reminds me of the wide range of issues that respond to Biodynamics. Craniosacral Biodynamics works with the body-mind-energy system’s rhythms, patterns, and physiology from the inside out in these ways: deepening the parasympathetic relaxed…

Post-COVID renewal: distance healing and TMJ Relief via phone or Zoom

Dearest readers, how are you doing? I hope you are well and that you are experiencing some renewal related to the decline in COVID and the onset of summer. I sure am.

It has not been safe to work in people’s open mouths since March. I’m a one-woman practice without the resources of a dental office to acquire state-of-the-art air cleaners and make a large investment in PPE. Meanwhile, the need for relief is even greater…

Take the jaw pain quiz

I created a 3-minute quiz that you can take to get a quick sort on how serious your jaw pain is, along with some possible next steps.

Click here to take the quiz.

It’s not a full-length evaluation like you would get if you came to see me in my office. But it seems that a lot of people with jaw pain don’t know how common it is — and how much jaw symptoms can vary from person to person.

Speaking about my work…

Today I have the good fortunate to be interviewed on Mind Body Radio at 10-1:15 am CST. You can listen on the Internet live or find my interview afterwards. Here’s the link: https://mindbodyradio.com.

Sunday I hosted a brown bag education session on craniosacral therapy for 10 of my fellow members of the Austin Wellness Collaborative. I spoke for about an hour about how I got into CST, its…
