Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is both subtle and potent. This set of procedures is designed to restore balance to the nervous system, improve brain and spinal cord function, and improve the flow of cerebral spinal fluid, while also releasing the body’s healing energy wherever it may be “stuck.” Originally founded as an osteopathic technique, it is now practiced by many types of doctors and bodyworkers.

The CST practitioner uses gentle “holds” and applies light pressure primarily to the skull and the sacrum (tailbone area) to support the natural movement of bones in these areas, and they may also place gentle pressure or “holds” to other parts of the body that call for attention. While the technique is gentle and non-invasive, it’s results can be profound. It works to support and energize the body’s own healing potential.

Nicole Tilson, LMT, CCST

Nicole’s career in massage and bodywork began with her own healing journey that eventually led her to Upper Cervical Chiropractic, and she’s been hooked ever since. She attended Discovery Point School of Massage in 2018 and simultaneously studied Phenomenal Touch, and later, Thai massage at the TMC School of Thailand. She completed a four-month program in dynamic myofascial techniques with an instructor named Dawn Schmidt, LMT. She is certified to offer intra-oral work and breast massage and is certified in craniosacral therapy with Lauren M. Christman, LMT, CBSI/KMI, CCST.

Nicole is a lifelong learner who is continually fascinated by anatomy, the science of movement, the healing process, and most of all, the place where the three intersect. In her free time, Nicole enjoys quilting, spending time with trees, and cuddling her ball python, Cupcake.
