“The sessions themselves are quite wonderful; it feels like the modality is designed to let the nervous system fully express itself and readjust in a more balanced way. Nothing was being pushed on me but rather, a large and safe container was being created that allowed the mind and the body to more clearly see themselves, accept themselves and find a more harmonious way to be. I did not feel that the practitioner was doing something to me but rather that they enabled my whole being to find a better way through gentle encouragement, non-judgement and light supportive touch. I found the thoughts and sensations accompanying the sessions to be both enlightening and healing.

Most importantly, the effects of Cary's work have not stayed in his studio but have persisted in my daily life. I have noticed that not only can I see people and situations more clearly and fully, but also that the drive to react to them in unhealthy or unhelpful ways has lessened. I have also noticed that I have a better sense of my own wellness and am now better at pulling back from various stressors when my mind and body need to recharge and rest. Finally, I am pleasantly surprised to see that I now value and cherish both the Life in me and the Life in others more, leading to more satisfying and nourishing relationships and encounters.”

“I was comfortable with him right away with his gentle voice. With each session, my mood, body and spirits were altered for the better, stress melting away. My entire being breathed an incredible sigh of relief. What an exhale…”

“Cary helps me access the deepest parts of my inner world. When I’m on the table, I feel sensations ranging from floating and stretching to pulsing and buzzing… I don’t know exactly how he does it, because the holds are simple, gentle, and noninvasive. Cary has a profoundly calming and grounding presence that opens up space for me to relax deeply. I see him for general support and don’t have any chronic ailments, but the treatments leave me feeling relaxed, invigorated, and as if all my senses have been enhanced… After our sessions, I am able to drop into this deep part of myself more easily during my meditation practice. 

I use alternative therapies as my primary care, so I regularly see acupuncturists, massage therapists, and chiropractors, and occasionally drop in with practitioners like sound therapists, kundalini energy workers, herbalists, or reiki. Among practitioners in alternative health, craniosacral therapy always stands out as an especially respected practice, and I’ve found time and time again people who use alternative health therapies hold craniosacral therapy in especially high regard. For myself, craniosacral therapy is an integral part of my health and wellness practice, and Cary is an expert in his field.

I’ve had several craniosacral sessions with Cary. Cary’s attunement to my body and body’s energy is impressive. He’s wonderfully sensitive to my comfort and he quickly oriented to the holistic health of my body. His touch finds the areas that most need work. The sessions are pleasant and helpful.

Cary is a phenomenal bodyworker. His own grounded energy palpably creates a space for real healing. I came to see him after I was in a car accident and suffering from whiplash. His work is subtle but powerful. I’m grateful for his skilled hands.
