✨ Exciting News from Body and Soul CST! ✨

I am so thrilled to share that after a year of intensive training with the amazing Lourdes Gray, my daughter Julia and I have officially become 6th Generation Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Masters! 🌿

I’ve been integrating this powerful Reiki energy into my CranioSacral Therapy sessions in Hopkinton to help my clients find even deeper relief from physical and emotional pain.

Here is what’s new at the practice:

🙌 Combined Healing: Experience the synergy of CST and Reiki for a total "tune-up."

👯 Refer-a-Friend: If you refer someone who books a session, I’ll give you a $25 discount on your next visit!

💝 Heal It Forward: Through the Upledger program, I’m offering 4 free sessions for those who cannot pay out of pocket. If you know someone in need, please let me know.

📍 Location: Still practicing alongside the amazing team at Body and Beyond Massage Therapy.

Looking for Julia? She’s offering sessions in Western MA! Check her out at www.energi-flo.com.

I’m still "old school" with my booking, so if you’re ready to feel your best, shoot me a DM, email bodyandsoulcst@gmail.com, or text 978-479-4757.

Can’t wait to see you on the table!

I love this. It’s worth the read if you want to have an idea of how CST can bring on profound change with gentle touch.

Yesterday we talked about the pelvic and sphenoid bones, those twin ink-blot shapes at opposite ends of the central axis. Today, I want to touch on how we actually begin to balance them in bodywork, not by forcing symmetry, but by clearing the line of conversation between the bowl and the butterfly.

I think of the pelvis and sphenoid as two tuning forks on the same string. The string is the dural tube, the deep fascial midline, the pressure system that runs from the pelvic floor to the cranial base. Our work is not to hammer either fork, but to reduce the noise around the string. Practically, that means starting with breath and the diaphragm. Free the respiratory diaphragm with rib, sternum, and upper abdominal work. Invite motion in the pelvic diaphragm with sacral holds, gentle pelvic floor softening, and SI joint decompression. When the diaphragms begin to move like coordinated tides, the cranial base often starts to reorganize on its own.

From there, I like to pair contact. One hand on the sacrum, the other on the occiput or sphenoid line, feeling for rhythm and drag rather than trying to create change. Craniosacral style holds, sacral traction, and still point inductions can reduce dural tension across the whole axis. Intraoral and jaw work add another powerful lever. Releasing the pterygoids, maxilla, and palate reduces strain at the sphenoid, and that shift frequently echoes down through the spine into sacral position and tone.

Add fluid movement to the mix. Abdominal and visceral fascial work improves glide around the mesenteries and reduces internal drag on the dural and fascial core. Gentle spinal unwinding, suboccipital release, and thoracolumbar fascial work help the message travel without distortion.

The technique is real and specific, but the spirit stays the same. We are not making the pelvis obey the sphenoid or the sphenoid obey the pelvis. We are restoring their signal line. When the static drops, these two distant shapes begin to resonate again, and the body recognizes its own symmetry without being told.

CranioSacral Therapy is about connecting with each person’s innate ability to heal. As Dr. John E. Upledger shared: “People say to me, ‘You’re a healer.’ But I’m not a healer—I am a facilitator of one’s healing process. I’m sensitive enough to know people are going to heal themselves, and I’m willing to help them do it.”

This is good
This goes for yourself too. You can exercise, eat healthy and do all the yoga you want, but if you’re not talking kind to your body, it’s not going to understand you!!!
