About Nurse Sandra
Why Natural Holistic Therapies?

Why Natural Therapies? 
My Approach 

Nurses are in a unique position to understand and address fundamental and comprehensive aspects of whole person health and wellness across the lifespan.  Holistic therapies offered are safe, non-invasive and non-pharmacologically based that can support natural health, healing and well-being.  Natural holistic therapies can also support and be coordinated with a medical management plan.  As an Advanced Holistic Nurse, Sandra offers many areas of integrative health therapies including nutritional, dietary and lifestyle strategies, mind-body therapies and energy-based healing therapies.  Nurse Sandra inspires both CranioSacral manual therapy and energy-based therapies as non-invasive and effective treatment modalities for improving daily lives and enhancing overall well-being .  Clients often report experiencing less pain and physical symptoms, improved focus, as well as feeling a sense of calm, restoration and rebalancing after treatment.  Therapies improve the body’s overall and natural ability to rest and relax supporting restoration and self-healing which then can produce profound, positive and lasting results. 

 

Natural holistic self-care methods, skills and lifestyle coaching strategies are learned and practiced at home to enhance everyday health and well-being.  Therapies and self-care methods can be integrated during one session.  Therapy sessions are both unique and individualized and self-care programs are highly personalized.  Daily self-care and home practice skills offer safe and effective tools in achieving better overall health, well-being and managing energy levels.

Natural Therapies

CranioSacral Therapy supports body structure and function

CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch, whole-body assessment and treatment protocol developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, DO, OMM as an effective method to support and nourish the central nervous and fascial systems for the purpose of improving overall health, well-being and function.  CranioSacral Therapy is a client-centered manual therapy which works to support and rejuvenate the body’s natural biological systems and unique rhythms by evaluating and addressing imbalances at their source.

​

CranioSacral Therapy has been found effective in improving body system function and fluid dynamics.  Because CranioSacral therapy is so supportive in relaxing and calming an overworked nervous system, it is an effective treatment for many health conditions.  This is because most chronic illnesses are caused by stress.  And,  the only time the body can heal and restore itself is during a time of rest.  CranioSacral therapy creates a supportive environment which enables the body's natural and restorative healing processes so the body can then heal itself.  Examples of health issues which benefit from CranioSacral therapy include chronic stress, pain management, TMJ/migranes, ADHD, concussion, cancer and immune system support and other chronic health conditions.  Evidence-based studies show CranioSacral Therapy can make a positive impact and improve the quality of daily lives.  Read more at:  https://www.upledger.com/therapies/index.php
