Nancy Paulin - CranioSacral Therapist
Nancy believes that we cannot function at our best if some part of us is not working properly. After experiencing the power of healing through energy she decided to commit herself to learning the healing art form of Reiki and became a Master Reiki from Hispanoamericana Mikao Usui S.C. While pursuing more options to help her patients she also obtained certification from Doctor Isaac Goiz, the founder of Biomagnetism Therapy.
Nancy suffered from postpartum complications after her second son was born via C-section. This prevented her from walking only a few steps at at time. It was due to this that she turned to Craniosacral Therapy which had her walking again after just one session. Impressed by the subtle touch and great results she decided to learn this therapy and add it to her tool belt. She is now certified in CST1, CST2, SER1, CN1 and The Brain Talks by the Upledger Institute.
Nancy cannot wait to be part of your healing process for long lasting results.
