Craniosacral Therapy
Carol has been a therapeutic bodyworker for over 21 years. She is licensed in Oregon and Washington. She specializes in Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation for pregnant and new mothers, infants and children. Carol’s bodywork practice is over seventy-five percent pediatric. Most of the children she treats are younger than three months. Carol is a pioneer - integrating osteopathic manual therapies like Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation into prenatal care, postpartum care for both moms and babies and the birth place.
Locations
Carol’s office is in her home in Northwest Portland. Adults and children see her there. Carol’s experience as a home birth midwife has taught her that new families are best served in their own homes. Because of this she makes house calls for infant Craniosacral Therapy treatments.
