About this Event
- Have you ever wanted to compliment a stranger and didn’t, because you felt a bit scared?
- Have you ever wanted to speak up in a meeting, and didn’t, because you were worried what people would think? Or, worse, did you speak up and then replay it, over and over, in your head?
- Do you feel anxious, stressed, and have a tendency to overthink?
- Have you ever pretended everything is ok in your relationship rather than saying how you really feel?
We all yearn for more confidence to express ourselves lovingly and honestly. When we do, we feel an ease and a freedom that transforms the way we live.
Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the un-lived life within us.
Our bodies have a tendency to reveal our un-lived life. It might be surprising to hear that your thoughts inform your physical health. What we think about often manifests in physical symptoms. Since you’re already a believer in taking care of your body, we want to help you take care of your mind, too.
Sarah will teach you two life changing skills that will transform every area of your life, that will close the gap between the life you’re living and your un-lived life within. You will reflect, grow, positively impact your health, have fun, and build connection and community.
Can’t wait to see you there.

Craniosacral Massage Therapy
Also referred to as Cranial Sacral Therapy, or CST, Craniosacral Massage Therapy is a specific type of bodywork, or massage, designed to treat a variety of conditions by normalizing disruptions in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, a critical element of the central nervous system.
In order to understand how Craniosacral Massage Therapy works, it’s important to understand the central nervous system, one of the body’s most critical systems. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed primarily of the head (the brain), the spinal column, the sacrum (the triangular bone located in the lower back), and the membranes and fluid that surround and protect it. Compression, distortions, and blockages within this critical fluid due to injury or stress can prevent the nervous system from functioning properly. Through gentle hands-on manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, Craniosacral Massage Therapy can remove these blockages, restoring the normal flow of the central nervous system and enhancing the body’s ability to heal.
Craniosacral Massage Therapy is completely non-invasive and involves extremely gentle pressure, usually no more than 5 grams. That’s about the amount of pressure you would feel if a nickel were placed on your body; that’s how gentle Craniosacral Massage Therapy is. Yet just because it’s gentle, doesn’t mean it isn’t effective. In fact, CST has become a common therapeutic tool for massage therapists, physical therapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors. It can be performed as a stand-alone treatment, or incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan utilizing a variety of techniques, depending on the specific needs of each patient.
What Does Craniosacral Massage Therapy Treat?
By relieving compression and blockages in the head, neck, and back (the core of the CNS), Craniosacral Massage Therapy can be a highly effective therapeutic technique to soothe pain and reduce (and potentially even eliminate) emotional and physical tension and stress.
It can also be incorporated into treatment for a variety of specific conditions such as:
- Concussion and traumatic brain injury
- Chronic and/or acute neck and/or back pain, such as whiplash
- Constipation and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Insomnia and sleep disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ (inflammation of the joint connecting the lower jaw to the skull)
- Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression
- Difficult pregnancies
Craniosacral Massage Therapy may be appropriate for individuals of all ages, including infants and children. Every treatment is customized depending on the specific condition(s) and/or symptoms each patient is experiencing. Some patients may find relief after just a few sessions; other patients with more chronic conditions may require on-going treatment or the incorporation of CMT into a comprehensive treatment plan.
What Happens During a Craniosacral Massage Therapy Session?
Most Craniosacral Massage sessions last between 45-60 minutes and take place in a warm, comfortable, safe massage room. Patients are usually asked to wear loose, thin, comfortable clothing and lie on their back on a massage table. The gentle manual manipulation generally begins at the head and sacrum, allowing the therapy to identify areas of blockage for further gentle manipulation. Indeed, regardless of exactly why most people seek out Craniosacral Massage Therapy, most—if not all—patients find the therapy sessions deeply relaxing and restorative.

Acupuncture for Clearer, Healthier Skin!
Our skin is the body’s largest, most visible organ, so it should come as no surprise that there are literally hundreds of ailments that can potentially undermine the health and appearance of our skin. Skin disorders can range from mild to severe, from embarrassing to physically disabling, and everything in between. Some, like acne, are pretty common and can affect nearly everyone at some point in their lives; others are extremely uncommon and can be very difficult to diagnose. Some skin ailments are acute, appearing suddenly and unexpectedly, while others are chronic, developing and persisting over a long period of time. Yet any skin condition can dramatically undermine our appearance, our health, and our wellbeing.
Skin conditions can be exceedingly tricky to treat successfully. Often, patients repeatedly cycle through a variety of different treatments, including (but of course not limited to) topical creams and ointments, prescription medications, steroid injections, antibiotics, and even laser therapy. Yet all too often, these treatment approaches are either entirely ineffective or provide only temporary relief. Many individuals suffer for years with pain, discomfort, itchiness, dry and scaly skin, and other difficult symptoms, unable to find lasting relief.
For patients who have been unsuccessfully struggling with a skin ailment, acupuncture may provide a potential solution!* Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique that involves stimulating key trigger points across the body to activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms. The fact is, our body has the incredible ability to identify and resolve many health problems; unfortunately, critical imbalances within the body can block or hinder this self-healing capability. Thus, the goal of acupuncture is to enable the body to heal itself by addressing systemic imbalances and promoting inner strength and wellness. For individuals coping with skin ailments, acupuncture may help provide some relief from painful and embarrassing symptoms.
How Does Acupuncture Work to Treat Skin Conditions?
Unfortunately, modern medicine tends to view every problem in isolation, with the underlying assumption that a skin problem is caused by a problem within the skin alone. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, embraces a more holistic view of the body: that a problem in one area is likely connected to and caused by underlying problems across the body as a whole. A problematic skin condition may be only the most visible symptom of a systemic imbalance deep within the body. Thus, treating the skin condition requires identifying and treating the underlying imbalance!
In the treatment of skin conditions (broadly speaking), acupuncture is designed to stimulate specific trigger points along the body that regulate the immune and the endocrine systems. As acupuncture needles trigger “micro-traumas” in key areas, the body reacts by increasing blood flow throughout the body, as well as simulating a hormonal response. In addition, acupuncture improves the body’s natural immune system responses, thus reducing inflammation and clearing toxins that may be inhibiting the body’s ability to heal. Thus, by restoring the body’s natural homeostasis, it may be possible to resolve the visible symptoms on the skin caused by the original imbalance!
It is important to note that acupuncture is not a magic solution, nor does it work instantaneously. Restoring the body’s natural homeostasis causing a problematic skin condition may take time and persistence, and involve a variety of techniques integrated into a comprehensive treatment program. Acupuncture can also help promote overall wellness by focusing on stress management, sleep issues, and digestive concerns that may be undermining your health and contributing to skin ailments. Yet as part of a holistic treatment plan, acupuncture may help contribute to healthier skin, improve your energy levels, and stimulate your overall wellbeing!*
*Disclaimer: Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Before starting treatment, including acupuncture, for any skin condition, patients should see a dermatologist and/or a primary care physician.
