I now offer craniosacral therapy sessions at JP Centre Yoga in Boston. This work is grounded in my study of craniosacral therapy, bioenergetics, and somatic practice.
I had my first craniosacral therapy session some 15 years ago, and since then have gravitated to this work for its capacity to bring my nervous system into a place of deeper balance and restoration. I was ultimately inspired 8 years ago to deepen my study of energy and somatic healing. The visionary craniosacral therapy that I practice is grounded in techniques drawn from osteopathy, energy work, Taoism, and from my personal study of bioenergetics, reiki, shamanism, yoga nidra, poetry, and somatic practice.
I’ve trained with teachers worldwide, including: the visionary craniosacral therapy work of Hugh Milne, craniosacral therapy with David McCauley of Ireland, and bioenergetic healing with Cat Kabira of Bali. I also study somatic experiencing with Stephanie O’Connor of Bali and rolfing and somatic practice with Aline Newton of Cambridge, MA.
My most influential teacher in this work is my dog Rio, who reminds me that the essence of healing is beyond explanation or language, and that a gentle and loving presence can be all we need to feel supported and held.

What to expect during a session:
To prepare for your session, you need only wear comfortable clothing (no jeans please) as you’ll remain fully clothed on a massage table. The work offers sensitive, healing touch to support the body's natural healing process. The pressure here is exceedingly gentle (like the weight of a dime), to support the body's innate rhythms and energetics.
“I was blessed to receive craniosacral therapy twice from Caitryn. Both times were transformative healing experiences of body and spirit. The first session was actually my first experience with craniosacral therapy, and it was so beautiful to learn about this practice through Caitryn’s intentional and healing touch/energy. Caitryn gently gave me permission to feel anything I was feeling, and the session opened up my spirit to clarity of what I might need to reach deeper levels of healing.
The sessions themselves were so beautiful, and what was more amazing is how the healing energy continued to flow after the session ended. I highly recommend receiving healing work from Caitryn. Her gentle and generous spirit allows a person to release their troubles on the massage table, and receive both from her, and from a deeper place within.

“Caitryn is one of the best energy workers I’ve visited, and her thoughtfulness and energy are unmatched. I felt changes happening in my body within minutes of us starting and I left feeling relaxed, calm, and reset. My fiancee and I each had a session and we can’t stop talking about it. We both left feeling amazing and thought it was much more helpful than any bodywork we’ve received; physical or mental. Highly recommended!!”
“When I was having a moment of feeling stuck and couldn’t pinpoint why, I reached out Caitryn to see if she could help. Caitryn did a great job of keeping it real and explaining things in an approachable way. I left that day feeling light and relaxed like an invisible burden was lifted.
There is something really great about not needing to understand the help you are receiving and still have it work for you. ”
