Testimonials

See What Our Clients Are Saying

I began working with Dominique and the Heart Math technique during an incredibly stressful time in our lives, prior to the epidemic. I had begun having what seemed to be heart issues, but a doctor diagnosed it as vagus nerve episodes. Once I understood that stress was at the center of the problem, I reached out to Dominique, and after several coaching sessions and using the technique daily, I began to notice a shift in my physiology. I began sleeping better and simply felt more grounded and present. Within a few month's time, the symptoms I had been experiencing resolved and this was despite moving through incredibly stressful days. I highly recommend both Dominique as a coach and the Heart Math technique as perhaps one of the most helpful practices I've ever encountered.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CranioSacral Therapy and how does it support the body?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on method that works with the body’s natural rhythms to release tension and calm the nervous system. Through light touch, the therapist helps ease restrictions around the brain, spine, and connective tissues so the body can restore balance and function more efficiently.

Most people experience CST as deeply relaxing. You’ll remain fully clothed while the therapist lightly holds or supports different areas of the body. Many clients notice a sense of warmth, softening, or quieting inside their system as the body lets go of long-held stress patterns.

People seek CST for a wide range of reasons, including persistent tension, headaches, emotional or mental overwhelm, stress-related discomfort, jaw and neck tightness, sleep disturbances, and nervous system dysregulation. It is also commonly used to complement trauma recovery and chronic pain care.

Yes. Because CST uses such a light, respectful touch, it is typically well-tolerated and non-invasive. Sessions are always tailored to your comfort, and the therapist works with the body’s natural cues rather than forcing change.

The number of sessions varies. Some individuals feel noticeable shifts after one or two visits, while others benefit from ongoing work to support long-term stress reduction and nervous system resilience. Your therapist can help you create a plan based on your health goals and how your body responds.

Unlike massage, which focuses on manipulating muscles, CST works more subtly with the body’s deeper physiological rhythms and the craniosacral system. The goal is to influence overall nervous system balance and internal patterns of tension rather than applying pressure to soft tissue.

Comfortable clothing is ideal. Since sessions are performed fully clothed, you’ll want to wear something soft and easy to relax in.

Absolutely. Many people pair CST with modalities such as physical therapy, counseling, chiropractic care, or massage. CST works well as a supportive therapy because of its gentle, integrative nature.

Local practitioners from multiple fields—including physical therapy, mental health, and integrative medicine—refer clients because of the practice’s focus on subtle, effective nervous system support. Clients often experience meaningful improvements in overall well-being, emotional balance, and physical comfort.

If you’re looking for a gentle, non-invasive approach that supports relaxation, emotional balance, and a calmer nervous system, CST may be a great match. A consultation or first session can help you sense how your body responds.
