Craniosacral Fascial Therapy & Craniosacral Therapy
Home studio on South Pender Island and at Nayeli clinic in Victoria (Tuesdays).
CFT & CST address the root cause of emotional & physical trauma that is being held in our fascia and the Craniosacral system. It supports, heals and regulates any areas of discomfort and dysfunction in the body. This work is gentle, safe and can have profound healing potential.
Fascia is like a web that surrounds muscles, bones, organs and nerves throughout the body. It helps provide structure, support, and protection, and it also plays a key role in movement and flexibility. It forms a complex system called the Craniosacral Fascial system starting at the brain, continuing down the spine and extending throughout the body.
Our bodies from birth through adulthood experience all types of traumas, whether that be physical traumas or emotional traumas. If left untreated, these traumas can give rise to chronic issues that people often come to accept as normal. In their journey towards better health, many discover that Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is the key piece they’ve been missing.

Testimonial:
“Jennifer’s craniosacral therapy seemed to make a dramatic effect on the healing of my baseball playing son’s pitching elbow injury. Where 3 years of efforts with physiotherapy, imaging, and appointments with several surgeons failed, just 2 treatments with Jennifer and giving the elbow a break and he is pain free when throwing now!” Rachel L. 2025

Trauma Imprint Repair (TIR)
All human bodies have experienced some form of physical or emotional trauma in their life time. Sometimes this energy gets stuck in the body causing disease and needs assistance to shift, move and heal.
Using somatic practices that involve dialoging with your inner healer guides the body to understanding the root cause of the experienced trauma. The held energy is able to communicate and be moved out of the body. This is combined with gentle, supportive Craniosacral techniques to assist the body in deep healing. This is a safe space, with out judgment to release and let go of held emotions that no longer serves the body.
As Gabor Mate states, “trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”
Distance Craniosacral Therapy Session
Distance works well if your not able to attend a session in person. This work can be done anywhere you are in the world. Working with the physical, mental and emotional energy body. I connect to your energy body and with intention I work as if you where right in front of me.
We connect via phone or video call, a verbal intake, then the distance session begins.
