OUR THERAPIES
WE TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON
At Mirashift, we focus on CranioSacral Therapy as the heart of our approach to treating the whole person — mind, body, and soul. Our complementary therapies, including Neuromuscular Massage, Positive Psychology, Hypnotherapy, and Yoga Nidra, work alongside CranioSacral Therapy to support balanced, transformative healing and lasting wellness.
We encounter stress of all kinds each day that the body compensates for through a tightening of muscles and soft tissues. This can affect the brain and spinal cord, resulting in impaired function. CST works to release this natural reaction and, as a result, can improve neuromuscular functions, ease emotional pain, and enhance sensory processes and motor coordination. CST is effective for a wide variety of dysfunctions and, since it is so gentle, ideal for people of all ages, from newborns to seniors.

OUR THERAPIES
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch, non-invasive therapy that releases restrictions in the soft tissue that surrounds the central nervous system. This normalization of the environment around the brain and spinal cord increases the body’s ability to self-correct.
​​​
Anxiety, Depression, & Migraines
Emotions often manifest physically through tension. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) targets and releases these tension areas, optimizing the central nervous system.
​​​
Concussion
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries affect the central nervous system, which left untreated could lead to mood disorders. CST offers a successful option for addressing both physical trauma and its impact on connective tissue.
​​​
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a condition affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing pain, discomfort, headaches, jaw clicking, and difficulty chewing or opening the mouth. CST can help alleviate TMJ symptoms by gently releasing tension in the soft tissues of the face and jaw. This improves cerebrospinal fluid flow and relieves pressure in the affected areas. CST promotes relaxation, reduces inflammation, and restores natural jaw function, offering long-term relief from pain.
​​​
Pediatrics
Mirashift brings 2 decades of healing experience with infants to teenagers. CST effectively addresses various concerns including autism and spectrum disorders, tongue and lip ties, colic, torticollis, orthodontics/braces support, learning differences, scoliosis, concussions, trauma and more.

​
​SomatoEmotional Release®
SomatoEmotional Release® is a holistic manual therapy based on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy, aimed at releasing negative emotional experiences and past traumas stored in the body. It is particularly helpful for conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and emotional distress resulting from events such as accidents, natural disasters, loss, or assault.
When emotions are suppressed, they can become trapped in the body, creating barriers that may hinder the healing of physical or emotional issues. Through SomatoEmotional Release®, clients report gaining a deeper connection to their body, mind, and spirit, fostering greater self-awareness and enabling more effective self-healing. This therapy works well with traditional talk therapy and is also the perfect adjunct to Mirashift’s Positive Psychology sessions.

​
Lymphatic Balancing
Lymphatic Balancing is a gentle manual therapy designed to reduce swelling, improve fluid circulation, and support the body's natural detoxification process, while also incorporating the traditional techniques of CranioSacral therapy. By using specialized pumping techniques, Lymphatic Balancing stimulates the movement of lymph and venous fluids, promoting the re-circulation of essential substances, tissue regeneration, and a healthy immune system.
This therapy is effective for various conditions, including: edema (swelling), chronic pain and inflammation, fatigue syndromes (including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue), headaches, post-surgical recovery, stress relief and deep relaxation.
​
Lymphatic Balancing offers holistic support for overall wellness and recovery and is suitable for all ages—from pediatrics to geriatrics.

The benefits of massage therapy will enhance your circulatory system and leave you with a greater sense of well-being.
​
Neuromuscular Massage
Neuromuscular massage is a specialized form of massage that focuses on relieving chronic pain and muscle tension by targeting specific points within the body. When combined with CST, which gently manipulates the central nervous system, the benefits are amplified.

Together, they offer a holistic approach to restoring balance and vitality.

It improves circulation, aiding in muscle recovery, boosts mitochondrial cellular energy, and reduces inflammation.

Hypnotherapy
