CranialSacral Therapy & Somatic Healing Touch
Through this gentle modality, your body is guided towards its innate capacity for healing.
Clients often leave a session with a greater sense of well being, a complete nervous system reset, a new sensation of balance in their body, tension relief and more clarity. Some see visuals and colors, experience emotions, release trauma, or feel their whole physical body adjust.
Often seen as a magical modality due to the subtlety of the treatment with the incredible results, cranial sacral is about connecting to the body’s entire system. Imagine Like a fishing net being pulled by a trawler boat, free to be able to move however the water moves it, if it encounters a stick, it will move around the snag, all the fibers will pull and orient to the snag.
Unlike other therapies where the therapist is manipulating and influencing the body and muscles, a cranial sacral therapist must deeply listen to the body first and initiate a dialogue or a dance with the tissues, which supports the system to reorganize itself through conversing with the fascia and cranial sacral rhythm, along with cranial sutures, vertebrae and spinal cord.
When we release one area of the body it will have positive repercussions on the entire system.
In addition to a traditional cranial sacral session, as a somatic therapist focused on trauma healing, I offer the value of real empathy and understanding in a non judgmental container. If your physiology knows it is in a safe space, it has the ability to process and release emotional or traumatic stuck-ness in the body.
Unlike other therapies where the therapist is manipulating and influencing the body and muscles, a cranial sacral therapist must deeply listen to the body first and symbiotically support the system to reorganize itself through conversing with the fascia and cranial sacral rhythm, along with cranial sutures, vertebrae and spinal cord.
“I went to Carly for craniosacral work, to release tension and guarding in my throat, head, and heart. It was nourishing beyond words. She takes the time to really listen prior to the session to get a firm comprehension of limiting beliefs that might be carried/stored in the body. She has healing hands and a healing heart. Not only does she understand the subtle body, she gently guided me to unlock stored tension and provided a safe space to open up and let go. Thank you Carly. I will be back.”
"If you bring forth that which is within you, Then that which is within you Will be your salvation. If you do not bring forth that which is within you, Then that which is within you Will destroy you.”
- The Gnostic Gospels
Your body tells me it’s story and my hands go where needed.
I help energy to flow so that a new story can be written.
You are a multitude of layers, what is revealed on the surface arises from a deeper layer.

Somatic=
The connection between the mind and the body.
Our external circumstances do not shape us.
What we believe shapes our experience of the external world. We have all the resources within our own bodies to identify our truth, overcome, transform, expand and do the seemingly impossible.
It starts with listening to the wisdom held within our own bodies.
Somatics is a field within bodywork and movement studies which emphasizes internal physical perception and experience. The term is used in movement therapy to signify approaches based on the soma, or "the body as perceived from within,"
Imagine the body is like an encyclopedia to your life, your memories, traumas, and even hereditary imprints are stored in your cellular memory. When intentional awareness through movement or intuitive bodywork is applied, the body can reveal it’s story. We can use this new found awareness to alter the negative imprints and rewrite a new inner belief system by shifting the physiology around the memory or pattern.
Hi, I’m Carly.
I have worked with the wisdom in my body for over 20 years. From yoga, to dance, performance, somatic movement and expressive arts therapy and bodywork. I am deeply connected to the sacred and through meditation allow myself to access deep intuition that guides me in my own life path.
When I work with touch work, cranial sacral and bodywork, I go into a meditation state and allow your body to reveal where my hands need to go and how I can support you whether it be energetically or through higher guidance.

I happened to magically find Carly and I am so grateful I did. She was such a beautiful extension to the overall retreat experience because it wasn’t just about bodywork and massaging the body, it was also about reading the body and providing valuable information for the participants. This helped them integrate what they were already learning about themselves as well as helped them link their bodies with their life experiences. It was incredibly special for them. And besides her beautiful work she was prompt, responsible and worked all day for two days in a row. I was amazed at how calm and grounded she was throughout the entire weekend. I would highly recommend Carly for your retreat experience!!!
“A connection to the deep sacred. Her hands listen, search and untie knots. She doesn’t follow the protocol and allows the magic of her intuition to guide her hands”
