Craniosacral Unwinding

Craniosacral is both physical, energetic, & spiritual. All these happen simultaneously, through very gentle hands-on and off touch on and around the spine and head, and other parts of the body.

At the physical level, it releases constriction in the connective tissue around the spine and brain, thus allowing for better flow of nutrients & support to the nervous system and the whole body. 

At the energetic and spiritual level, it allows for unwinding and unblocking stuck energies by holding space for the system to digest and move through its natural processes and find balance. By connecting to and holding space for stuck energy within the body, we stimulate the healing forces of the body that are always there, so the body can heal itself.

Massage

Massage therapy is a hands-on practice that uses various techniques of touch and pressure to relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness. Through skilled manipulation of the body's soft tissues – including muscles, tendons, and ligaments – massage can help ease pain, support healing, and enhance physical and mental wellbeing.

My practice combines circulatory massage with targeted deep tissue work, while drawing from traditions including thai massage, shiatsu, and myofascial release. Whether I am working with tissue or more energetically, I integrate my subtle energetic listening skills in the more manual work I do. At various points in the session I am tuning into the muscles, fascia, lymph, energetic fields, and other tissues-- attuning to what wants to be held, compressed, stretched, rocked, or otherwise connected to in order to find greater ease and balance In the body and spirit.

Polarity

Polarity Therapy is a type of energetic bodywork that uses light touch, deep touch, and rocking or vibrating movements to help balance the body's positive, negative, and neutral energy with the goal of integrating and holding space for whatever is present without judgment. This allows for the release of energetic holding patterns, helping the body access its innate healing intelligence while promoting physical, emotional, and energetic harmony and vitality.

Developed by Dr. Randolf Stone, this type of bodywork stems from his synthesis of his studies of various healing modalities including reflexology, acupressure, craniosacral balancing, yoga, qi gong, and Ayurveda. 

Sensory Repatterning

Sensory Repatterning a bodywork technique that uses gentle rocking motions and slow joint movements to help the body relax and release tension. Using the body's natural rhythm and resilience this modality helps spread awareness and release throughout the body. It feels very meditative and can be very supportive for releasing holding patterns from the body.

Energetic Communication + Counseling

Compassionate & Trauma-informed Processing & Space Holding

Many sessions have a communication component, where we talk through what wants to be tended to that may be contributing to mental, physical, spiritual dis-ease. By speaking it aloud, we bring awareness and connection to these tender spots, provide a compassionate, nonjudgemental space that allows this energy to process, and give it resource to begin to move and regulate. 

Montana is not a licensed psychotherapist or counselor. They have the training to support and hold space for people's processes, bring awareness to individual/developmental/systemic patterns and energy contributing to pain, and provide tools to regulate the nervous system somatically.

This modality is informed by their polarity trainings in communication and somatic processing, Nonviolent Communication, as well as Somatic Trauma Therapy and consent trainings.
