CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) had it’s foundation in the osteopathic work of Dr. Still and Dr. Sutherland, and was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician Dr. John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the connective tissue (fascia) and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, and includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, head bones and vertebrae.
Fascia is a three dimensional web of connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a continuous sheath, covering every muscle, bone, organ, every nerve and blood vessel as well as the brain and spinal cord, connecting and supporting the entire structure. It is the fascia that allows everything in the body to glide across each other without friction when you move. It also is what forms your sinus cavities and the pathways for lymph movement. However, under stress, trauma, postural problems, inflammation, illness, etc., fascia can become rigid, lose its fluidity and bind itself down to everything it comes in contact with, causing adhesions and restrictions within the body which can result in abnormal pressure on muscles, nerves, organs, blood vessels, and bones.
CranioSacral Therapy uses light hand pressure, position, heat, and energy to amp up the body’s own healing ability and at a cellular level, start restructuring the fascia so that it becomes more supple and fluid, breaks down adhesions, releases restrictions, and reworks the tissues so they function more efficiently.
Ahna integrates all her experience and modalities to provide a well-rounded and complete massage for each client.

"
CranioSacral Therapy has given me a great deal of relief from sciatica.
I have had many other types of massage for this specific problem
and had received only temporary palliative relief - I feel that we
identified the emotional issue that had caused me to be 'stuck'
and it has not flared up again.
I am grateful for the technique you
used and the compassionate manner in which you used them.
You have gifted hands and spirit."
Peace, love and joy,
Karen S. - Nell F.

RainDrop Therapy
The Raindrop massage technique originated from the research of Dr. Gary Young, a naturopathic physician. It is based on the theory that many types of spinal misalignments and other health challenges are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. Stress causes reduced oxygen and circulation to the body and can intensify local inflammation and other issues resulting in pain and misalignment.
Raindrop Therapy uses a sequence of nine highly anti-microbial essential oils dropped gently on the spine along with massage and heat to alleviate these issues.
We all carry viruses and bacteria - which deplete our immune system. Everyone benefits from Raindrop Therapy because the spinal column contains nerves that feed the entire body. It is soothing and relaxing, and can continue to benefit the body for days to weeks or months after the application.
