Hi,
My name is Karen Barletto and I practice Craniosacral Therapy in Amherst, NH. Allow me to tell you a little about CST, and my practice.
The craniosacral system is the core of the central nervous system. The sublte and gentle work of craniosacral therapy removes tension from the system and brings it back to the parasympathetic so the body can rest, restore and heal.
CST helps anxiety, headaches, physical pain and injuries, stressors of the body, mind and spirit. It’s for all ages and enlivens the mind and body and clears emotions.
Along with the craniosacral system, my work addresses nerves, meridians, fascia and energy centers. I work with newborns and children who have deep tension or torsion due to the birth process or positioning in utero. CST can help with colic, neck tension, nursing difficulties, tongue ties and disregualtion.
Adults and teens come in for many reasons. I enjoy helping people work through the stressful aspects of life that have settled in the body and nervous system. Craniosacral therapy can include my dialoguing silently with the body, or talking it through with the client. Life is tricky right now for all of us. This is a place for the body to be listened to deeply, and cared for on multiple levels.
I have been a body worker for 30 years, and exclusively a craniosacral therapist for 20; I continue coursework through the Upledger Insitute, the premier craniosacral school in the world.
