Peggy’s philosophy in life is to realize the gift you have been given and to share it with others. Peggy’s gift of giving through her hands grows with each passing day.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle light touch approach that provides an opportunity for the body to relax and heal itself. It is effective for all ages, from newborn to elders. The human body is always naturally trying to maintain balance and homeostasis. Throughout life, each one of us sustains countless traumas which may be either physical or emotional in nature. Regardless of whether these traumas are big or small in magnitude, the body has to figure out how to deal with them. Most of the time, the body is able to handle these insults and restore balance. If the trauma is too big, or if there are multiple traumas that accumulate, the body is overloaded and unable to restore balance on its own.

As the body tries to sort out and handle all that is has sustained, it often chooses a coping mechanism that is not beneficial for the overall wellness of both the body and mind. This results in physical and/or emotional disease and dysfunction.

During a CST session, Peggy will use a light touch to locate areas of pain, disease and dysfunction, those that are known to the patient and those that may be hidden. She will then follow and release the restrictions in the order that each client’s body presents. The ultimate goal is to get to the source and get the client back on the road to recovery.

Peggy’s life philosophy to share her gift with others extends beyond each treatment session. Peggy hopes to share her passion for CST with everyone she works with by teaching simple CST techniques. There is nothing more rewarding then giving each client skills to help themselves. At the end of the session, Peggy’s goal is to leave those she touches with “the Touch of Sunshine”.
