I have studied and practiced craniosacral therapy for several years, completing two programs, and have had the pleasure of learning from a number of different and distinguished teachers. I have provided craniosacral therapy to people of a variety of sexes, ages, belief systems, and origins. I have been taught by curanderas and curanderos, massage teachers, and others and incorporate all the teachings into my practice.

I have also had the privilege of learning from my ancestors who guide me in my healing work. There are some similarities to craniosacral therapy but I would say the major difference is that this work is not anything I have learned in a class. The learning occurs as I am doing it, through the action of the work. I believe all original indigenous people knew how to be directed by their ancestors and spirit guides. They all had the ability to learn and be guided to do the work that was required to accomplish the task at hand. A number of years ago, I finally began to hear and heed my ancestors’ reminders and teachings and allowed myself to be guided and taught by them and one of the ways they teach me and the way I serve them is through hands on healing work. 
The complete package of all the work that I do is an amalgam of skills that I have learned in many places and some that I have never learned until I am directed to do the work while caring for an individual.  While my work incorporates craniosacral therapy and other modes of healing, it is actually more than and different from any of them and since it is taught by my ancestors, I want to honor their teachings and give credit where it is due.  I call it Ancestral Hands on Healing because It is directed by my ancestors, comes through my hands, and is healing for body, mind, and soul.  This work is useful for healing and integrating spiritual, emotional, and physical traumas and can be instrumental in opening one up to new understanding and the ability to access one’s own inner knowing.

This work has helped people work out past lives, ancestral trauma, their own births, make peace with their past and present struggles, and integrate their struggles to understand their path and access their inner guide.  I work with pregnant, postpartum, and newborn people to integrate birth, fears, baby position, torticollis, lactation challenges, health concerns, and postpartum recovery.  I also worked with all people to heal specific physical, emotional, and spiritual injuries and traumas.  It is profound work because it is not just one individual working to relieve the symptoms of your illness.  This work includes you and your ancestors as well as me and my ancestors to bring you more deeply in touch with your own guides and inner wisdom.

This healing is the most elemental, indigenous, primitive, and spiritual health care there is because it is based on our original tools: hands, heart, and connection with Spirit, and has been with humanity since the very beginning. This work is ancient science and alchemical healing.  Your mind and mine, the presence of both of our ancestors, your body and my listening, all combine to create space for you to do your work in healing.  This is traditional medicine.
