I participated in an amazing course last week: Craniosacral Touching The Brain: The Glial Interface. The glial cells can be thought of as the glue or the fascia of the central nervous system. They give us a way to work with the tissues of the central nervous system in a mechanical way.

This allows us to address things like the glymphatic system (part of the immune system for the brain and spinal cord), the blood brain barrier, and myelin with manual therapy.

So grateful to Tad Wanveer for developing this material and to Liz Brinson for teaching us this past weekend.

This class was truly transformational and life changing for me. I’m so lucky that my learning sometimes doubles as part of my own personal healing journey.💞💞💞

I have already started using this work with some amazing results and share it with all of my clients!! 💓💓💓

28 years ago today was the event that became the catalyst for the formation of Body and Mind. My practice methods and techniques have changed and expanded over the years but my focus of helping others heal from trauma has always remained the same. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way and to everyone who has trusted Body and Mind with their care 💓💓💓

Have you considered PT to address IBS, GERD, SIBO or another digestive issue??!? We work with individuals with these diagnoses daily using visceral manipulation. When medical management isn’t enough sometimes addressing the physical structure can help!

🌿 Did you know your gut and brain are in constant conversation?
What you feel emotionally can have a direct impact on your digestive health — and vice versa! That's why integrative therapies like Visceral Manipulation are making such a difference for people struggling with digestive issues.

🧠➡️💚 The brain-gut connection explains how stress, emotions, and even trauma influence gut function, contributing to issues like IBS, GERD, and inflammation. Manual Therapy approaches support this connection, helping to bring balance to both mind and body.

✨ Want to learn more?
Check out this insightful article from Harvard Health: https://www.iahe.com/storage/docs/articles/Brain-gut_connection_explains_why_integrative_treatments_can_he.pdf? Or dive deeper into visceral health through the Barral Institute’s Searchable Article Database.

👉 Empower your clients with knowledge — their health is not just physical; it’s emotional and integrative too.

Craniosacral Therapy is such an amazing tool! POTS, Post Covid, Dysautonomia and so much more!!

We’re currently booking new clients for August 📅 Reach out now to get in before summer vacation ends!!

🧠💓 Could One Gentle Technique Reset Autonomic Imbalance?
CranioSacral Therapy might hold the key.

A published case study in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science explores how a 39-year-old man suffering from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)—a form of dysautonomia that spiked after COVID—found lasting relief not from medication, but from osteopathic manual therapy, specifically the CV4 technique (Compression of the Fourth Ventricle).

🌿 What’s compelling?
✅ Symptoms improved after the first CV4 session
✅ Heart rate response normalized over a series of sessions
✅ Symptom-free for over 6 months

This case proposes CranioSacral Therapy as a viable standalone modality for managing neuropathic POTS—an increasingly common challenge in post-COVID patients.

✨ For manual therapists, it’s a powerful reminder: the body has the potential to reset, given the right support.

So excited to celebrate .inspiringhope 2 year SCAD anniversary with her today ❤️

SCAD stands for Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and is a type of rare tissue damage that results in a heart attack.

There are always lots of emotions around the anniversary of any type of traumatic event. It’s important to acknowledge and process all the challenging ones and it’s also important to embrace the good ones too!!!

I absolutely love that Tara showed up today with giant red “2” and heart balloons. She had her family and friends sign them!! What an amazing way to bring a playful, joyful, innocence and celebratory nature to the anniversary of something so challenging. I’m sure her amazing nature is why she inspired to develop a new SCAD Sports Clinic 💪❤️ Way to go Tara! 🎉🥳🎉👏👏👏👏👏
