Jennifer Ursell
Craniosacral Therapist, Craniosacral Fascial Therapist, Holistic Therapist, Aromatherapist
I am consciously on my own healing journey of self awareness, moving through generational and childhood trauma. I continue to deeply listen to the signs around me, directing me forward on my soul path. With gratitude I walk side by side with all living creatures.
I am here in this lifetime to hold space. To deeply listen, to gently assist in the movement of energy and disfunction out of the body and to allow the nervous system to regulate and heal.
I have 20 years of experience in holistic health and weave in those modalities into my Craniosacral sessions when appropriate.

What does a session look like?
We start off with a verbal intake that takes about 5-10 minutes, learning about your past medical history and reason for the session. Onto the massage table in comfortable clothes, laying on your back I will assess your body and gently place my hands to where I am directed to go. I connect and feel into the tissues, muscles, fascia, blood, organs, bones, ligaments and fluids in different area’s of the body. Deeply listening and feeling for any restrictions and or dysfunction within the body systems. You may experience different body sensations, deep relaxation, pain reduction, emotional release and a new sense of being. I am here to assist and support your body in it’s own innate self healing wisdom.
How many sessions?
Each body is different, I recommend 2-3 sessions weekly for anything that is acute to experience a shift/improvement and for chronic conditions it may take longer.
Testimonials
“Thank you it was wonderful. Set me up so well for processing and school stuff all weekend. I feel resourced and ease in my body, cared for, good energy levels.” - G.J
“Feeling deeply centred and grounded after my session with Jennifer!” - C.K
“I just had a most wonderful Craniosacral treatment yesterday. I went in with a lot of compression and tension through my head and that base-the-skull headache, as well as a jaw that never seems to want to relax. Jennifer is the real deal-incredibly gifted and intuitive.” - T.H.
"Jennifer approached both my horses with openness and respect. She has an intuitive nature, and was able to connect with both mares as if she has known them for decades. One mare had swollen hind legs that wouldn’t go down. She was able to move the fluid and the swelling was reduced by half the next day and completely gone in two days. My mare was more comfortable and energetic after her next treatment with Jennifer. My other mare has not been open to bodywork with others in the past, but she absolutely loved when Jennifer worked with her. Jennifer is a calm and kind person and I highly recommend her to work with you, your children, and your animals.” - V.C
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a healing modality that is deeply relaxing for the central nervous system. This type of bodywork is gentle and done with a light touch. My hands are placed on precise anatomical structures, using manual techniques, feeling into the Craniosacral rhythm that travels from the head (cranium) down the spinal cord to the tailbone (coccyx) and back up again. This can be felt anywhere on the body via the fascial system.
When the body is out of alignment it can cause pain and disfunction. Craniosacral therapy treats the root cause, assisting in releasing pain, restrictions and held belief systems in the body. This allows the body to experience deep levels of healing. Craniosacral therapy works on all levels, physical, emotional and mental.
Craniosacral Therapy treats the entire being from conception to birth, through childhood, adolescence, adulthood and beyond.
May be beneficial for: acute and chronic pain, sore muscles, sports injuries, feeling dis-regulated, concussion symptoms, PTSD, anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalances, TMJ, teeth grinding, chronic stress, headaches, migraines, digestive issues, overworked, tiredness, overwhelm and trauma held in the body
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.
Babies & young children
Holding space, deep listening, assisting in gentle releases, allowing the body to unwind, find balance and self healing.
Craniosacral therapy & somatic healing for babies and young children address the challenges of being born, the experience of being in utero, the journey of being birthed and trauma imprints.
This is a very gentle, subtle modality, connecting in with the soul to open communication to release and adjust the experience of life from conception to birth and beyond. To provide nurturing, neutral support to witness the essence of the child gives the feeling of being seen, the authentic self.
