Mental Health & Emotional Healing

“Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again.” There is nothing more important in our lives than our mental health, yet it is often ignored, overlooked, and dismissed, and current options are frequently inaccessible. Enlightened Mama offers four different paths to support emotional healing designed to offer the same personalized, non-biased, support that Enlightened Mama is known for—Allostatic Healing™, private sessions in Life Transition Support, Craniosacral Therapy & Trauma Release, and also providing traditional therapy services at Vayda Mental Health Collaborative.

Craniosacral Therapy & Trauma Release

Craniosacral therapy is an incredibly gentle bodywork to restore homeostasis in the body for babies, children, and adults, to heal a wide array of physical and emotional imbalances in the body and to release trauma.  Our infant techniques are very specific to improve feeding, temperament, and healing from birth, for both babies and parents, plus we incorporate myofascial unwinding along with craniosacral techniques to get you results in fewer visits!
