Cranio Sacral Therapy
Donna Abraham has been working in Holistic therapy for over 15 years. During this time she trained and worked in a variety of modalities. Kinesiology, One Brain Therapy(Trauma work), Jin Shin Accupressure were her initial studies, and she worked in these modalities for several years. During this time,(1991-2000) she acquired a strong background in Chinese medicine theory, and was trained in Jin Shin Acupressure by instructors from San Francisco School of Acupressure. Beginning in 2001, Donna went on to study and qualify as a Cranial Sacral Therapist, at the Upledger Institute who’s main center is based in Palm Beach Florida. As a resident of Israel,most of her course work was done at the Upledger Institute in Tel Aviv,Israel, where she learned with top European instructors as well as other respected Upledger-trained mentors.
At present, Donna works with a wide variety of issues,ranging from emotional trauma diffusion,structural problems,learning or emotional difficulties in children, and various chronic conditions. Donna’s special focus in women’s issues, relate to fertility work, pregnancy related problems, and postpartum issues. She also specializes and is certified in pediatric cranial work for babies with birth-related trauma. Cranial Sacral Therapy is a quintessential mind-body therapy that employs an extremely light touch in order to read and evaluate the movement of energy as it flows through the cranial system,consisting of the dura mater which resides in the spine and brain, containing the cerebro-spinal fluid. The trained Cranial Sacral therapist has the ability to feel the subtle tidal movements of the flow of CSF as it transmits neurological information throughout the system. The therapist is then able to use this information to help the body’s energy system rebalance. This is done by subtle manipulaton and a highly specialized theraputic touch. When appropriate, the Cranial therapist will employ “Somato-Emotional Release” work, a mind-body approach which is used to discover and release underlying trauma from the past, that is being held in the body’s tissues. Because of the unique nature of this work, CST can be used to address a wide range of problems. Many chronic ailments, learning difficulties, structural problems, and emotional problems have their source in the restrictions held in the body from previous physical and/or emotional trauma. The body holds this tension at the cellular memory level, where it can potentially manifest in physical or emotional illness. When this restriction is released, the person can be relieved of the physical or emotional pain they were experiencing. Cranial Sacral therapy is an authentic theraputic process that is a quintessential mind-body therapy. It allows the client to access their inner obstructions, and release them, empowering them to move forward in their llives.
