CranioSacral Therapy

Practicing CranioSacral therapy makes me a better naturopathic doctor. It reminds me to go slow, listen deeply and trust that using the least amount of force can have the most profound effects.

A long relationship with CranioSacral therapy

My mom became a massage therapist when I was a kid and trained with the Upledger Institute in the 1990’s to incorporate CranioSacral therapy into her practice. I grew up with this philosophy and care, though didn’t fully realized the impact it had on me until much later.

After a long hiatus, I received a CranioSacral session from a provider in Philly in my mid-20’s and felt like I was coming home to myself.

I resisted doing my own training in CranioSacral therapy while I was studying naturopathic medicine. Finally in my last year, I took the first course with the Upledger Institute and loved practicing with the patients at our student clinic. Over the next several years, I continued with the Upledger courses that broadened and deepened my skills to align with my patients and follow their lead in healing.

“Michal is an incredible provider! I sought craniosacral treatment with Michal after a concussion, and each time I was treated I experienced an immediate improvement in my concussion and pain symptoms. She is compassionate, competent, and extremely skilled at what she does. Could not recommend more!”
