Craniosacral Therapy | I Ching Readings | Qi Gong Training

CranioSacral Therapy

In person sessions at 70 Woodfin Place
Last parking lot, side door, second floor
Room 225

Sessions are approximately 90 minutes.

My work is primarily CranioSacral Therapy blended with other modalities:

  • CranioSacral Therapy works with gentle energetic holds on the sacrum, spine and cranial bones. This is a bone level energy work where we listen for the bones and tissues to show us how they want to move. This can release deeply held traumas (physical, emotional, and spiritual). Several sessions are recommended.
  • Chinese Energy Work and Polarity Therapy techniques bring the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to the meridian system, its acupuncture points, and the soft tissues.
  • Stone Medicine brings the vibration of warmed stones to interact with the vibration of our field. Their combinations can be a gentle medicine to anchor what we need, and are based on Chinese Medicinal principles.

This work is good for deep subtle healing over several sessions.
The first session builds trust and opens the door to possibility.
The second reminds us what is possible so we can step through the door.
Additional sessions help us 'lock in' change as our own.


All dis-ease is rooted in spirit. But spiritual work is subtle. People often require sensitivity training in order to feel the movement of spiritual energy as it works on them. So it is common for people to not feel much in a session. And yet one of the things are all looking for is peace. If we listen carefully, we can feel its arrival.

Intuitive Readings with the I Ching

Online or In Person in Asheville

These readings use the Classical Method of the I Ching.

  • As such the modern conventional practice where a line changes polarity and results in a future hexagram is not used. This follows with the works of Wang Bi, Cheng Yi, Ouyi Zhuxi, Liu Yiming, and resonates with words of the core Zhou Yi text and the explanations found in the Ten Wings.

These readings also incorporate a spiritual component.

  • Divination is a communion with the divine. Whatever that means to you. Part of the reading container involves steps to align with the divine. And as the session unfolds, energetic clearing or intention setting may be utilized as appropriate.

  • Finding clarity is always the most important work. Forcing a question before finding clarity can lead to confusing answers from the I Ching. Rather than trying to force a clear answer, it is important to recognize the invitation to do clearing work. This is especially relevant when we ask important questions. Timing is everything. When the time is right, spirit arrives.

  • In such cases multiple sessions are advised. When we spend our time doing clearing work in one session, we go home and that work takes effect over the following days or weeks. Carrying this with us, we might come to find that one day we feel ready to receive the answer. This is a good time to book a session.

It is important to understand that spiritual work is more about process than answers. We join together with some kind of intent, and the spiritual work transforms that intent. When clarity is found, spirit arrives with clear answers. In the mean time we dance within the mystery, doing our work.
