We are so excited to donate a Pediatric Care Package to Spring Fundraiser! It feels so good to give to our community!

It is like Christmas over here as we really weave together our branding and marketing… which I feel like I’ve been allergic to all my life. But it’s been so easy for me to create this logo, posters, biz cards and now gift certificates.

When I get packages like this I feel so excited to be stewarding this little community offering of a space where families are centered and the community heals together.

And really it’s all thanks to the amazing humans that have supported this vision and believe in their own capacity to heal.

I didn’t do too bad on the branding and design, eh?

Spring surprises us with blossoms and snow flakes! And sometimes our inner landscape reflects the changing weather.

If you or your kiddo are looking for some extra support this week, Tierra has some openings for BCST and Jimmy would love to meet you in the office for Japanese Acupuncture.

Visit the link in the comments to schedule your session!

Today, we are also busy preparing for our first community event tomorrow. Stop by and see us at the at Foothills Mall.

🌿 Spring is Here—But Is Your Energy Still in Hibernation? 🌿

Spring is all about renewal—flowers bloom, birds sing, and somehow, your to-do list triples overnight. But if your body still feels stuck in winter mode—low energy, tight shoulders, sluggish digestion—it might be time to shake off the cobwebs.

Enter Japanese Acupuncture, a gentle, highly effective approach that supports your nervous system, metabolism, and overall vitality without the “no pain, no gain” philosophy of other acupuncture styles. Jimmy blends deep knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the refined, trauma-informed approach of Japanese Acupuncture, creating treatments that are precise, effective, and deeply restoring.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to hit the refresh button on your health, this is it. Whether you need better sleep, steadier energy, or relief from stress and tension, Jimmy is here to help you feel at home in your body again. Plus, he’s the kind of guy who makes even serious health topics feel approachable (so don’t worry—you won’t be lectured about your snack choices). Come meet Jimmy and experience the benefits of Japanese Acupuncture with a special spring reset session!

Book your appointment now and step into the new season with more ease, energy, and vitality.

It is hard to believe that just over two weeks ago I was returning from a retreat in the beautiful lands of Guatemala.

It took a lot of courage to leave for two weeks to tend to my own heart and soul. Especially as this sweet, humble little Wellness Practice has grown so full of amazing families and individuals who come and receive Craniosacral Therapy.

But I did it. And it was worth it.

However, in the two weeks since I have been back, we have had a few rounds of seasonal illness in the house which has meant needing to cancel many appointments in order to tend to my children and myself.

It has been challenging to find ways to fit people in and also to tell some of you that I do not have availability until March.

As I’ve been navigating this I was reminded of the inquiry that our retreat facilitator offered us during our days of silence.

“Who do you become when life doesn’t go your way?”

This inquiry has been a rich place of resting and opening for me and has allowed me to surrender to life, as it is, rather than resisting for the sake of how I want it to be.

I am choosing to feel gratitude for the resiliency of my nervous system. For the amazing clients that continue to offer me grace and understanding. For the humbling that is the stomach virus.

And for the opportunity to get extra time at home with my kids.

In these last two weeks we have enjoyed spontaneous walks in nature, cooking delicious soups (Italian wedding soup!) and treats, impromptu tea parties, and lots of rest and snuggles.

Here are a few random photos of our forced slow down.
Thank you all for your kindness and support. And for your trust and surrender to the Cranial field. This work has the ability to transform, if we are willing.

In the past I may have found myself spiraling into shame, overriding the needs of my body, or completing avoiding communications with clients.

This work has given me the capacity to stay steady and upright in myself, even when life surprises me and I have no choice but to surrender.

“Who are you when life doesn’t go your way?”

It’s a good one.

Today as I cleaned up the office with the late afternoon light streaming in I paused and took a big breath in

To really savor where I am
In life
and in my private practice

I have worked hard to find myself
Here
In this moment

And not in the sense of hustling
But in the honest, messy, unraveling and healing
it has taken to be worthy of this work

I never knew I would land here,
in this office,
doing this sacred work of hands on healing

I really didn’t see this coming

So as I looked around at this beautiful, warm, safe space that holds me and my clients every day

I just felt so grateful
so blessed
so humbled

To be gifted the opportunity to walk alongside each person and family that walks into this space

The beauty of it takes my breath away

May I never, ever forgot to pour back into life the gratitude I feel to be here

And thank you to the 200+ humans who have invited me to be a part of their journey in the last two years

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you

Hi Parents!

Maybe you are in the same boat as us and have been surrounded by coughs and sneezes for weeks and want to boost your littles immune system?

Or maybe your kiddo struggles with something like chronic constipation or sleep difficulties?

Maybe you've found that your kiddos Pediatrician is great for acute things but doesn't offer you what your looking for in terms of helping your child stay healthy and thrive?

If so, would you consider trying out an alternative form of medicine that is safe, gentle, and effective?

🎉🎉🎉

You can schedule appointments through the link in our bio. Newborns, babies, toddlers, children, teenagers… every young human can benefit from Traditional Japanese Medicine.

Shonishin can alleviate many common conditions and ailments that keep our kids from feeling their best. This includes things like belly aches, constipation, fussiness and colic, low weight gain, anxiety and tension, food intolerances, allergies, and more.

Craniosacral Therapy is an incredible modality that can offer deep and lasting support to people of all ages including babies and children.

*and* there are so many other modalities that offer complimentary care to people who are seeking wholistic ways to support themselves and their children in feeling happy and healthy! Part of the vision of Maitri has always been about creating a collective of highly skilled practitioners to serve the families of Northern Colorado.

Starting this summer, we will be offering another way to support yourself and your kiddos and we just can’t wait to share it with you!

And guess what else?! This offering will be no-cost for the months of June, July, and August.

Why, you ask? Because a part of our mission as a service-based business is to give back to the community and create accessibility for more families to find balance and health.

If you would like to be the first to know about this new offering, sign up for our Newsletter at the link in our bio.

I get asked this question a lot when I share with people that I give bodywork to babies!

But why would a brand new, perfect, precious little bundle need body work anyways?

And the answer is really simple— the same reason any body benefits from modalities like chiropractic, massage therapy, PT, acupuncture etc.

The process of gestation and birth are beautiful, but can often be intense and leave lasting imprints on the fascia and structure of the body. Add to that the challenges that come with life outside the womb and babies are perfect candidates for well-trained support focused on helping them unwind patterns of tension and settle comfortably into their bodies.

Craniosacral Therapy is a particularly fitting modality for the tiniest of humans because it is slow, gentle, and completely guided by them! In Craniosacral Therapy, the focus of the practitioner is listening, not doing. And babies love to tell us their stories!

Some specific reasons I’ve had clients seek out Craniosacral Therapy for their babies include:

•Asymmetrical head shapes or face/jaw tension
•Medically-assisted birth (forceps, vacuum)
•Birth trauma/injury 
•Induction, Cesarean, or premature birth
•Breastfeeding difficulties 
•Unhappy disposition (startling easy, scared, angry, irritated, not comfortable in body)
•Digestive issues (constipation, vomiting, excessive spit-up, reflux, colic)
•Before/after procedures (tongue-tie revision, other medical procedures)
•Congenital or neurological problems
