Charlotte’s Healing Hands
I specialize in The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®, Craniosacral Therapy, and customized pain relief sessions. The core belief in my entire practice is that the body naturally wants to heal itself and my job is to help create the space for that healing to occur. I work to bring the body into alignment through craniosacral inspired massage techniques that are tailored for individual needs, while incorporating energy work to be able to address emotional and spiritual blocks.
You may ask, what are The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®? It is a time-honored, non-invasive, external massage technique that guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position. Maya massage improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. This massage benefits both men and women and is known to be highly effective for fertility, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance and a wide variety of common female symptoms.

I was surprised to find out how many different approaches there are to Craniosacral Therapy. After doing some personal exploration and self-healing, I identify most with the visionary approach taught by Hugh Milne. The visionary school encompasses all ways of understanding and working with the craniosacral system - biodynamic, energetic, mechanical and visionary. I like to describe this method of working as shamanism meets craniosacral work. I find it to be quite profound and enjoy incorporating aspects of this work into all of my sessions.
My experience learning and teaching clinical massage has led me to offer my own variation that I call Customized Pain Relief. I combine clinical techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release with relaxation and energetic techniques. Through these varied massage techniques, I provide a holistic approach for overall alignment of the body and can address specific pain complaints. I take into consideration any previous injuries as well as your daily activities in order to determine a suitable treatment plan. Together we can develop a proper self-care routine to help you not only attain, but maintain a pain free state of wellbeing.
