Craniosacral is one of my favorite modalities!

The spine is far more than a structural column. Within Craniosacral Therapy, it is understood as a living bridge between the cranium, nervous system, fascia, organs, breath, and the deeper rhythms of the body.

Every vertebra holds relationship — to movement, sensation, protection, adaptation, and memory. The spine responds continuously to our experiences: stress, shock, injury, emotion, posture, and the ways we learn to navigate the world. Over time, patterns of tension or compensation can shape how the body organizes itself around safety and survival.

In CST, we listen through the spine not simply to “correct” it, but to understand how the whole system is communicating. Through gentle, precise touch, we begin to perceive subtle changes in tissue tone, fluid motion, nervous system regulation, and the body’s inherent capacity toward balance and reorganization.

The spine also houses and protects the spinal cord — one of the central pathways through which the brain and body remain in constant conversation. Around it, the fascial and membranous systems create continuity from the cranium to the sacrum, meaning restrictions in one area may influence the body far beyond the site of discomfort itself.

When the spine feels supported, the nervous system often begins to soften. Breath deepens. Movement becomes less effortful. The body can settle into a greater sense of coherence, grounding, and presence.

At the Craniosacral Collaborative, we honour the importance of understanding anatomy in depth while maintaining a heart-centred, trauma-informed approach. ♥️

Big news!!!! if you’re interested in Doula services or know someone that is check us out!!!

We have another surprise... and this is a big one. 🤍

We are officially accepting WellCare/Carolina Complete Health (transitioning to Carolina Complete Health on April 1) for birth doula services!

This has been a long time coming. Access to doula care is one of the biggest gaps we see every single day with huge impacts to perinatal education, support, informed consent and breastfeeding success—especially for families navigating Medicaid.

And we know what happens when that gap is filled:

• Lower cesarean rates
• Fewer preterm births
• Better breastfeeding outcomes
• More supported, empowered birth experiences
• Lower rates of postpartum depression and anxiety

Continuous, relationship-based support changes outcomes—not just physically, but emotionally. Being seen, heard, and supported through pregnancy and birth has a real impact on maternal mental health. It reduces stress, builds confidence, and helps families feel less alone during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.

For Medicaid families, the impact is even deeper—fewer interventions, fewer complications, and better overall outcomes for both parent and baby, regardless of income.

This matters here. In our mountains. In our communities.

If you currently have WellCare (soon-to-be Carolina Complete Health) and you’re pregnant, you can now access doula support through your insurance.

No more "I can't afford a doula." No more wishing. No out-of-pocket barrier. Just support.

Reach out to us for more details on how to get everything set up—we’ll walk you through it. 🤍

🌱"Everything you need is growing all around you." 🌱 This adage is especially true in the early spring! Every lawn and field before you is sprouting forth with edible & medicinal spring plants that assist the body to release the sluggish-ness of winter, clear the lymph, remineralize, and give an overall boost of vitality!

To forgo the herbs of Spring is truly a missed opportunity. They are abundant, accessible, and free! Many are so tasty they can be incorporated into meals. They can be used fresh, or preserved in the medicine cabinet for later in the year.

Come celebrate the Spring Equinox with me this Saturday in Sylva and come deep dive with me into the abundant, cleansing, nourishing Herbs of Spring.

The word Doula, is Greek in origin meaning with women. My passion for doula work came after my own experience thu childbirth, you don’t know what you don’t know, and mainstream birth culture is soooo backwards, trust the doctor in the white coat, running off his statistics, rather than tuning into their own body wisdom. I had a Massage Client the other day who told me about her horrible breathing experience and how she didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Doula until after she gave birth just one year ago. The patriarchal idea of the last quite some time took the power away from women believing that if they knew that they hold the key to creating society that their poor little man egos would be overthrown, but see true woman power comes from power with, not power over . Did you know there’s a whole school on or****ic Childbirth, it’s all about the state of mind. There’s a rumble from quite a few of us to return the power of Birth back to the woman. Those of us who know what a formidable and empowering experience, Birth can, and should be! I am with a group of women who have some big things in the making. I gathered a few testimonies for the paperwork to push forward on an exciting new offering for the community! let’s raise our little ones n mamas up!!! YOUR BIRTHING EXPERIENCE MATTERS, YOU MATTER!!
