Resolving Trauma through Emotional Somatic Release
Emotional Somatic Release, (ESR) engages the body and the nervous system to help resolve trauma. Those who have experienced traumatic events either emotionally or physically benefit greatly from the gentle, therapeutic healing of ESR.
Holographic Memory Resolution®, (HMR), a body/mind modality that allows for the expedient resolution of the painful, negative emotions blended with Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, (BCST), a subtle form of bodywork, allows one’s nervous system to relax and release tension.
Emotional Somatic Release sessions allow for the release of trauma trapped in the body that may be contributing to conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, as well as mental, emotional challenges, including depression and anxiety.
The sessions are gentle and non-invasive. They are client-centered, client directed. They can be profound, impactful, and transformative, empowering the client to be their own healers as they partner with the wisdom of their body.

A closer look at my modalities
Somatic Emotional Release
This treatment is for those wishing to get at the root cause of their disharmony. It is a combination of Holographic Memory Resolution®, (HMR), a body/mind approach that allows expedient access to past memories bringing them up for resolution, and craniosacral therapy, (CST), a subtle form of bodywork that taps into the nervous system to release tension and promote relaxation.
This session is helpful in resolving past traumas that may be contributing to conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and mental/emotional challenges such as depression and anxiety. The work affects the physical/mental/emotional/spiritual aspects of a person’s being and can lead to transformative healing experiences.
Reiki/Jin Shin Jyutsu®
Reiki can be described as spiritually guided life energy. It has the ability to re-establish harmony in a person’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states.
Sometimes referred to as acupuncture without the needles, Jin Shin Jyutsu taps into the meridian energy systems of the body to address physical, mental, emotional and spiritual disharmony. Both Reiki and Jin Shin Jyutsu help relieve chronic tension, improve vitality and induce deep relaxation. Sessions are uniquely tailored to the needs of the person in the moment to help restore harmony at all levels of being.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy works directly with the body’s fascia system as well as the other structures of the body, including the nervous system, as a result it helps to significantly reduce chronic pain. CST is helpful with issues concerning structural alignment, muscle tension, as well as anything related to the nervous system.
Physical symptoms presenting as migraines, sinusitis, temporal mandibular disorders, anxiety, depression, chronic pain and fatigue are all greatly helped by CST. It is also an excellent modality for mental, emotional, and spiritual support.
Therapeutic Massage
A uniquely blended massage designed to find and release physical and emotional tension. Deep tissue, acupressure, fascia release, hand and foot reflexology, Swedish, Hawaiian, and Ayurvedic principles are applied to create an individualized, therapeutic, and stress-relieving experience.
Water Unwinding
An intimate journey that leads you to your inner world. As you are gently and compassionately held you are able to explore the depth of tranquility that is found when you surrender to the primordial element of water. Release, let your body, mind and spirit unwind, re-integrate, and rejoice.
Prerequisite: At least one craniosacral therapy session with Karen.
