Nancy Lou Canyon, LMP has been in practice since 1994 as a Washington State Licensed Massage Practitioner and a Reiki Master, specializing in Upledger style cranial work. When her daughter was young, Nancy found she could relieve the pain in her child's skinned knee or elbow by drawing her hands over the area. That same energy helped heal her own injuries, as well. Nancy enhanced these natural healing abilities when she became a Reiki master in 1993. She also discovered she had a gift for locating and releasing blocked energy when she studied CranioSacral Therapy.
Nancy Lou Canyon, LMP uses 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. Cranial sessions can affect all areas of one's being: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Using light touch, she releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
CranialSacral Therapy is increasingly used as a preventive health measure, as the treatment bolsters the immune system and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including: migraines, chronic neck and back pain, colic, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, learning disabilities, emotional difficulties, stress, TMJ Syndrome, PTSD and post-surgical dysfunction.
Ms. Canyon has studied shamanic healing practices, polarity therapy, muscle testing, chakra clearing, and many other subtle energy healing techniques. All these modalities come into play in the treatment, in an integrated way. Please visit her website to learn more about healing services at www.laughingwaterhealingarts.blogspot.com.
