ABOUT NEURAL BALANCE THERAPIES
CRANIOSACRAL
MASSAGE
BODYWORK
Stress of any kind can cause the body to compensate through a tightening of muscles and soft tissues. This can affect the brain and spinal cord, resulting in impaired function. CranioSacral Therapy works to release these restrictions and, as a result, can improve neuromuscular functions, ease emotional pain, and enhance sensory processes and motor coordination. CranioSacral Therapy is a manual therapy that is effective for a wide variety of dysfunctions and, since it is so gentle, ideal for people of all ages, from newborns to seniors. This technique combined with other advanced massage therapy techniques like visceral manipulation, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, neural manipulation and orthopedic massage techniques makes Neural Balance Therapies a unique bodywork experience catered to the needs of each individual.

The passion and unique education NBT serve are populations with TBI and concussion symptoms and babies with feeding or developmental difficulties and tension.

What Our Clients Say
Brianne
"Katie is more like a friend to our family. She is such a blessing to us for helping all four of our babies the last 7 years. They have all seen her for craniosacral therapy and body work due to lip and tongue ties, torticollis, and overall comfort because of reflux, gas and feeding/latch/oral issues with breastfeeding. We learn so much as parents each time we visit her as well which helps in their recovery as we can continue this care at home. We have followed her throughout her career and are so thankful for her passion, education, love and care she provides for each of her patients and their families. Our kiddos love her and so do we! We will continue to refer our friends and family to her and will always be so thankful for her!"
