Lauren’s attuned and sensitive approach to healing through Craniosacral Therapy is supported by more than twenty years of experience and specialization within the fields of embodiment and somatic practices.

Lauren’s attuned and sensitive approach to healing through Craniosacral Therapy is supported by more than twenty years of experience and specialization within the fields of embodiment and somatic practices. She assists clients in learning to speak and understand the language of the body, inviting them to come into a state of presence where they learn to notice sensation, feelings and at times subtle shifts within. It is in this place of presence where the healing process can really flourish – a process that is not as linear as it is circular or cyclical. Lauren works with clients who come in for treatment with a wide range of symptoms including anxiety and depression, car accident injuries, post-concussion syndrome, acute and chronic illness, post-Covid symptoms to relational, emotional and physical trauma.
Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive form of therapy. It is a gentle modality that nevertheless can work quite powerfully with restoring balance to the nervous system, and also ultimately works with all of the body systems. With respect for the inherent intelligence of the body, Lauren partners with each client to support their unique tempo and pace through the course of treatment. This relationship that develops with her clients is essential, as it establishes a ground for trust and safety, creating a relational field in which the body can reorganize, repair and heal naturally. Lauren brings warmth, openness, curiosity and empathetic listening to support this process. We are by our very biology, relational creatures and Lauren delights in partnering with clients on this journey. If you are thirsty for a more intimate relationship with yourself and your body; are ready to release old tension patterns that are no longer serving you; and open to investigating this process through your inner experience of felt sense sensations and feelings; and are looking for support in this endeavor, then she would love to support you.
Lauren is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST), Licensed Manual Therapist (LMT), she also holds an MFA in dance/interdisciplinary arts. She is also an advanced level certified Pilates teacher. She also teaches and facilitates a range of movement classes and workshops (now online) in Contemplative Dance /Authentic Movement practice as well as other movement modalities. Her practice in somatic therapies coexists with her other creative endeavors as a dance artist & dance maker, qi gong enthusiast, meditator, lover of the desert, amateur singer and filmmaker.

Advanced Integrative Bodywork: TMJ Relief • Craniosacral Therapy • Biodynamics • Zero Balancing
I first experienced holistic health care after a car accident left me feeling like I was living in someone else’s body. I sought and received help from various doctors, therapists, teachers, and healers, as well as doing a lot of research and self-care….
Craniosacral Biodynamics • TMJ Relief
Coming from a background of yoga, meditation, NLP, and ecstatic dance, MaryAnn has trained in various modalities of bodywork and energy work. She’s a lifelong learner always seeking to deepen her skills.
MaryAnn has two specialties, which she started practicing in 2013:
Craniosacral Biodynamics facilitates healing from the inside out, for specific physical issues (for example, tension, pain, strain, structural asymmetry, energy blocks, past head injuries) as well as whole body issues (burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, overwhelm, recovery, insomnia, fatigue, dysregulation).
TMJ Relief integrates various bodywork modalities — including craniosacral therapy and intraoral manual therapy — to release jaw tension, reduce or eliminate clicking or popping, and restore full range of motion. MaryAnn teaches Relaxed Resting Mouth Position to those who are ready to change the habits that are the main cause of jaw tension and pain.
