Journey to Holistic and whole body Healing

This is where our journey begins. At Therapy Roots, LLC, I strive to make your experience unique and tailored to you! 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

The Biodynamic approach is a brilliant and expanding body therapy that has created a highly skilled way of listening to the body’s inherent health expressions. As a provider I look for and encourage the forces of health to set the priorities of the session and to bring about natural adjustments from within the body’s own resources. It is characterized by a strong orientation to the holism of the human experience where both the body’s anatomy and physiology are related to in real time with the subtle forces of life that act through the interface of the body’s fluids. Subtle movements in the body’s fluid and tissue fields are being listened for and the natural movement towards stillness is seen as deeply healing.

The beauty of this therapy is its simplicity. The practitioner takes up a position of being neutral and allows the process of the treatment to unfold. The practitioner is interested in facilitating the body towards intrinsic reorganizations across the body’s tissues, its fluid matrix and its energetic and emotional layers, so that there is a holistic movement towards greater health. The therapy creates a safe space for traumatic experiences to emerge and resolve smoothly without being overwhelming or re-stimulating.

The approach to the work includes a developed model of working with trauma processes. The therapists embodied experience, touch and presence are the key components in creating a Relational Field that generates a deep sense of safety and capacity to heal from within in a client led and paced approach.

Myofunctional Therapy

 

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) can be characterized by abnormal resting tongue and lip posture, atypical chewing and swallowing patterns (tongue thrusting), dental malocclusions (under-bite, over-bite, over-jet, end-to-end...), blocked nasal airways, and speech issues. Other presentations are lisping, mouth-breathing, bruxism (teeth grinding), and other maladaptive patterns. OMDs are multifaceted and require comprehensive assessment. During a full evaluation, I focus on identifying the underlying causes of dysfunction and addressing individual needs.

 

The same muscles we use to talk are the same muscles we use to eat/drink, sleep, and breathe. These patterns can be complicated; they require stability, strength, and coordination. When there is a disruption or an imbalance, this can cause Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD's).  Examples of OMD's are but not limited to : 

  • ADD/ADHD

  • Bedwetting

  • Chapped lips

  • Crooked teeth

  • Dark circles under eyes

  • Daytime Drowsiness
