BODYWORK

At CFS our bodywork is a personally customized art form comprised of mobilizing the soft tissues to passive range of motion of the limbs to stretch muscles and lubricate joints while incorporating a deep intention to connect to you.

 

 

BODY RESET

This process realigns your bone structure to allow the muscular portion to move with ease thereby reducing unnecessary stress. Over time you will begin to settle in to a whole new alignment and muscles which were once dormant will begin to contract. It’s truly transformational. You’ll feel like… you!

BODYMIND PATTERNS

BodyMind Patterns identify lifelong defensive and often unconscious behavioral, emotional, and physical responses in the musculoskeletal system that serve as protection from trauma.

When a person feels overwhelmed, out of control, and threatened in a life experience or series of experiences, the patterns become integrated with our persona as well as our posture. Once the unconscious reactions occurring in the body are connected to the mind, then the connection to past trauma becomes conscious. This intersection is where healing occurs.

Trauma posture is a defensive pattern in the body that is linked to the Survival BodyMind Patterns. Trauma posture limits the body's range of motion and emotion. To stay in a protective fetal position or trauma posture you are closing yourself off to intimacy, connection, and limiting your emotions to protection—fear, anger, and sadness as opposed to opening to joy, love, connection and intimacy. This can be observed in the Wounded Child Survival Pattern and Posture. The BodyMind Pattern Deck guides us through these patterns to bring what is currently unconscious movement and behavior to the consciousness.

Let's Start to Thrive! Heal Your Survival BodyMind Patterns

archetypal patterning chart that shines a light on the purpose and meaning of your life. Archetypes are deep unconscious patterns within us that make us who we are as individuals.

By determining your archetypes that are most active in your psyche it will help lead you to achieve greater insights into your life. We all have survival archetypes. They're the energy guides within our bodies that, combined with our personal nature and nurture, help to develop and power us in to who we are.

Archetypes are psychological patterns derived from historical roles in life, and even though they are historical and universal, they become personal when they are part of your own psyche. Our biography becomes our biology. Identifying your individual archetypes can be a challenge as you evaluate and analyze your experiences and relationships, but the payoff is invaluable. We're here to help you do that.

 

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch to the skull, spine and pelvis, practitioners release restrictions and blockages to improve the body's natural rhythm and restore vibrant health to the central nervous system. The treatment will leave you feeling relaxed and connected.

CST is used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease. It is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, such as headaches/migraines, chronic neck & back pain, chronic fatigue and many others.

The treatment will leave you feeling cleansed and centered.

 
 

Gyrotonic

The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was intuitively designed by Romanian professional dancer, Juliu Horvath to help relieve the chronic pain he suffered from injuries. GYROTONIC® method is a combination of Dance, Yoga, Swimming, and Tai Chi producing the system’s unique three-dimensional approach and fluid movement. The method systematically teaches gentle and repetitive circling, spiraling and undulating exercises, which simultaneously stretch, strengthen and elongate muscles while decompressing joints. The methods' specific attention to breath also assists the body's regenerative capacity and opens energetic pathways, increasing blood flow, oxygenation and promoting neuromuscular rejuvenation. Each exercise emphasizes energetic opposition helping to improve internal balance and support. Through constant ebb-and-flow and push-and-pull of the exercises, the connective tissues are massaged increasing range of motion in the body.

Pilates

Pilates is a method of exercise developed by German-born Joseph Pilates. In 1926, Joseph and Clara Pilates brought their exercise system, originally called “Contrology”, to New York City. The Pilates method is a physical movement program designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. Pilates exercise focuses on postural symmetry, breath control, abdominal strength, spine, pelvis and shoulder stabilization, muscular flexibility, joint mobility and strengthening through the complete range of motion of all joints. Instead of isolating muscle groups, the whole body is trained, integrating the upper and lower extremities with the trunk. Centripetal Force Studio uses Pilates to cultivate the awareness necessary for understanding the body’s messages. We teach and encourage a conscious choice to become aware, joining your mental connection to the core of your emotions, energy; spirit...it's a mind and body collaboration.
