Carrie's Story
Since 2002, Carrie has enjoyed helping people relieve pain, prevent injury, build mind-body awareness and supporting their overall wellbeing. She is truly rewarding to see others grow and live life more fully because of the work they do together. Using massage and integrated techniques, we can unlock the body’s wisdom for enhanced functioning and wholeness. Carrie's heartfelt goal for the time together is to co-create self-sovereignty and coherency. This time is truly for you and your nourishment.
The key signatures of her bodywork are intuitive listening and intentional integration. In her 20 years of doing bodywork, Carrie have found that tissue and energies do not release in a lasting way without patience and “making friends” with the central nervous system. Most of the guarding around pain and holding patterns in our bodies requires this kind of patience and trust. However, Carrie will adjust depth and pressure to what the body can allow without creating guarding, so you get what you need where you need it. Often pain and tension patterns are due to repetitive strain or posture distortions she can address. Her work is also grounded in the idea that your body has its own inner wisdom and ability to heal; it just needs resources at times to do so. She provides this facilitated witness and communication so your body can heal itself. Practices, habits and products that encourage your body to maintain the positive results you receive from sessions can also be discussed.
Carrie is blessed with 2 children, one with autism and the other with massive creativity: they have taught her to have a keen eye and ear for activism, sovereignty, and long term success. She have brought that into her work and looks for ways to connect these concepts when appropriate.

Training
Carrie has training in and utilizes a variety of modalities to customize your session to create results that last and continue to evolve beyond the session. They include Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue & Trigger Point therapy, as well as more soft-touch and vibrational techniques such as CranioSacral Therapy, Lymph Drainage, Acutonics (tuning forks) and Ortho-Bionomy. She is also certified in Pre & Perinatal Massage for our new mothers out there! Please see her Menu Page to see further descriptions of these techniques. Most clients like a blend of these techniques unless they are looking for particular results only one modality can provide. She also offers remote CranioSacral sessions for those who cannot attend in person.
She received her massage certification through Chicago School of Massage Therapy (now Cortiva Institute) in 2002. She then received her advanced Myofascial Massage Therapy certification the following year and began further training in the other modalities mentioned above within the first 5 years after graduating. She received Lymph Drainage Certification in September 2020 and started CranioSacral Therapy training in Chicago 2005 through Sacred Journey Institute (4 levels). Since 2019, she has pursued Upledger training and has completed upper level studies. She is Level 2 Acutonics trained. She no longer gives energy work sessions, as she has found self-realization and pain relief better served through CranioSacral sessions.
Carrie looks forward to your work and dialogue together!
