Success Stories
When I began working with Lorrie, I couldn’t eat. It is not that I did not want to eat, but since a car accident a year earlier it felt like food and even water would get stuck in my lower chest, and not enter my stomach.
I knew I had to eat, but there was so much discomfort when I did, I had just stopped eating for long lengths of time. Eating had become an unpleasant experience.
I visited physicians, who sent me to specialist who did extensive medical testing. After months of testing, medications and ongoing pain, I was essentially told, everything looks normal, and “you will just have to live with it.”
When I finally started seeing Lorrie for Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral work I was frustrated and hungry. The first session was amazing, Lorrie targeted right in on the area of discomfort.
She said that a ligament associated with my liver was tight and pressing on the area where food passes from my esophagus to my stomach. I noticed improvement the moment I left that first session. The discomfort in my lower chest had diminished.
When I went home and ate it was strange to have the food actually pass into my stomach. I saw Lorrie for a total of 3 sessions and I feel great. I can eat and drink anything I like without discomfort.
I also realized that I had gone in for eating difficulties related to a car accident, but during the sessions a lot of hurt and anger came up that I had not expressed. Lorrie provided a space of safety, support and non-judgment for me to express and process those emotions.
I am so grateful for everything Lorrie has done for me. My only regret is that the visceral work was my last choice instead of my first.

THERAPEUTIC BODYWORK
You do not have to live with that nagging pain in your neck, back, hips, knees or shoulders.
If it is a recent injury or a long-term problem, Lorrie has the skills and experience to release deeply held muscular tension and strain, allowing your body to move freely and easily.
This service is a combination of techniques that can flow from traditional massage, to Craniosacral therapy, to Strain Counter-strain, to Visceral Manipulation, to deep tissue work and more. You will leave the session feeling balanced, relaxed and revitalized.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (CST)
Craniosacral therapy is a light touch approach that releases tension deep in the body, to alleviate pain, and dysfunction and improve whole body health and performance.
By complementing the body’s natural healing ability, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster the immune system, and to effect a wide range of medical problems including: headaches, TMJ, craniofacial pain, chronic neck and back pain, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.
Sessions are generally 55 minutes long. The recipient stays fully clothed and the emphasis is on relaxation.
VISCERAL MANIPULATION (VM)
At optimal health, the relationship between the organs (viscera) and structures of the body (muscles, membranes, fascia and bones) remains stable despite the body’s endless array of motion. Unfortunately, the small injuries and illnesses of life can accumulate in one’s body, resulting in tightness around the one or more organs.
When one organ can’t move in harmony with its surrounding tissue, it creates fixed, abnormal points of tension that the body is forced to move around. This results in chronic irritation that can pave the way to future disease, dysfunction and pain.
Visceral Manipulation (VM) is a gentle hands-on therapy that works through the body’s visceral system (the heart, liver, intestines and other internal organs) to locate and alleviate these abnormal points of tension throughout the body. The deep release experienced with VM will have you moving with freedom you have not experienced for years.
