A place to feel heard—body and mind

Life asks a lot of our bodies. Stress, big transitions, growing pains, overwhelm, and the everyday pace of life can leave us feeling disconnected or depleted.

Kate offers gentle, individualized sessions that meet you where you are. Through light-touch craniosacral therapy and supportive bodywork, we make room for rest, awareness, and ease.

What is craniosacral therapy?

Craniosacral therapy, often called CST, is a gentle, hands-on approach that uses light touch and careful attention to the body. Sessions are typically quiet, unhurried, and tailored to each person’s comfort and needs.

Many people seek CST and bodywork as part of their broader self-care and wellness routines. Your session is an invitation to pause, settle, and listen to what your body may need.

What a session can feel like

You will be welcomed into a calm, supportive environment. We’ll begin with a brief conversation about what brings you in and what would feel most helpful that day.

Sessions are always collaborative. You are welcome to ask questions, change positions, request adjustments, or pause at any time. For children and teens, care is adapted with age, comfort, communication, and parent or guardian involvement in mind.

At Unfurling Tide, your comfort matters.

  • Sessions are individualized and never rushed.

  • Children and teens are supported in age-appropriate ways.
