Jamie VanDam is a holistic healer who specializes in Upledger CranioSacral Therapy for adults, children, and infants. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on therapy that assists in balancing the nervous system from the head to the tailbone. It releases deep tensions, restrictions, and imbalances in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, and improves whole-body health and performance. CST may assist in relief from headaches, migraines, chronic neck and back pain, sciatica, TMJ, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder, central nervous system disorders, stress- and tension-related disorders, and more.
CST is a deeply relaxing and gentle hands-on therapy that is done on a massage table with the client fully clothed. The therapist monitors the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around the central nervous system, then traces the areas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction. Delicate manual techniques are then used to release the problem areas. The session can last up to an hour or more.
Jamie also performs Raindrop therapy. This technique involves dropping essential oils directly onto the spine from about six inches above the body. The oils are then worked into the spine using light strokes with the fingers, which stimulates nerve impulses and disperses the oils along the nervous system throughout the entire body. In this way, the body can be brought back into balance, and the energy centers can be cleared and re-aligned.
