ReSource Wellness is about helping to heal stress and balance the nervous system through biodynamic craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, and chi gong
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is dedicated to listening to the messages of the client’s body with close, compassionate attention. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapists (BCSTs) rely on our acute skills of perception and palpation, developed through years of study, that enable us to perceive subtle physiological changes in our clients and assist the system in bringing itself back into balance. BCST balances the nervous system and encourages deep relaxation; it can be helpful for a wide range of complaints, including asthma, anxiety, sleep disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and PTSD.
The lymphatic system has two main functions: it drains excess fluid from the tissues into the veins, and it helps to protect us from disease. All forms of manual lymphatic drainage seek to help decongest lymph nodes and move lymph through the vessels. What distinguishes Biodynamic Lymphatic Drainage (BLD) is that the practitioner seeks to follow the path of the lymphatic fluid at the slow pace of the fluid itself. Using palpatory skills honed through many hours of training and practice, BLD practitioners can feel the flow of the lymph through the vessels and detect when that flow has been compromised. After clearing the nearby lymph nodes, we move our fingers over the skin in the direction of the lymphatic flow, at the lymph’s own pace. Biodynamic Lymphatic Drainage is gentle and noninvasive. The slow pace and light contact often prompt clients to relax deeply and even doze off during treatment.
Chi Gong is a form of moving meditation invented in China thousands of years ago. “Chi” is the life force; “gong” means “to cultivate.” The purpose of cultivating our chi is to calm the mind, balance the energies of the body, and encourage the free flow of the life force. The gentle, simple movements of Chi Gong strengthen the body, encourage relaxation, and help the practitioner to achieve a sense of calm.
At reSource Wellness, my mission is to create a space where my clients can feel a sense of safety, peace, comfort, and support; tap into the resources for healing that all of us are given when we come into the world; and achieve deep rest that, for many, leads to profound change.
