Testimonials
"Although I have worked with Tomi for the past three years, still I did not know what to expect with a Distance Craniosacral session. I imagined it would be very different. It was, and yet how comforted I felt - both in the experience of being 'held' by Tomi, from a distance, while they worked but how the sensations extended throughout the following days. How to describe the experience with words? It is very primal, like being held in the lap of some trusted person and allowing oneself to be safely seen and felt such that my body lightened, and let go. It was a wonderful, but different, way to meditate and contemplate the inner world of my Being". p.s. 5/2020 "I found that working with Tomi in the Distance Cranio form is also powerful and healing but in a more subtle way than the hands on session. In the distance session, I could feel energy opening up and releasing in my upper back, neck and head that helped relieve tension in my head that I'd had the whole day. I also felt more of a sense of ease and integration throughout my whole spine and body which made me feel more whole, reducing the stress I had been carrying. I felt my whole system and energy centers relaxing into a deep, calm state. This subtle calm carried into the night helping me to sleep deeply, and into the next day. I do recommend Tomi's distance Craniosacral work which is healing on a whole system level." A.T. 5/2020 "I always look forward to Tomi's work - it has always been what my body needed. Her approach is gentle yet the effect is profound!!! E.P 12/2016 " I took my 2 year old son to Tomi last week because of a lump he had on the back of his head. It had been there for months, and we did not want the doctors to x-ray it due to radiation. My son is incredibly shy, and Tomi was wonderful with him. She was introduced herself slowly, had a gentle touch, and really read how he was feeling. Eventually, we both laid down and Tomi treated him for a half an hour - he became extremely calm and relaxed. And with the extra time, I got a treatment as well! The next morning, the lump on his head had completely disappeared. I highly recommend her to any parents who have toddlers or children that need Cranio work. But I also recommend her for parents - she does wonders for the overworked parent's aches and pains! I plan on returning to Tomi very soon. A.F. 7/2015 |
"I've been seeing Tomi for over 5 years now. I had searched for an intuitive, sensitive person for bodywork for a while, and was so happy to find Tomi! She has really helped me to connect to my inner self in a deeper way through Cranial Sacral work, and I am very grateful for that. I've recommended her to friends and they've all been so happy. Tomi is also a very sweet, warm, smart, and funny person in addition to being a very gifted at her work. K.G. 7/2015 "Craniosacral Therapy feels like a guided nap, meditating and a magic lung expander all in one." J.J. 2015 "My son was treated by Tomi for torticollis at 2 months old. She has such a gentle, calm and confident demeanor and is great with infants which put both my son and myself at ease. The craniosacral treatment has helped significantly. Tomi is very knowledgeable about children and gave us several things to work on outside of treatment as well. We highly recommend her." L.Y. 2015 "I had my first full Craniosacral session with Tomi recently. I didn't really know what to expect, I've had lots of bodywork, and even some energy work. CST is somewhere in between--physical things are happening but there is a subtle sweetness to the treatments that feels quite profound. When I arrived I was feeling really out-or-sorts and when I left I felt whole and healthy and full of ease again! I will definitely see her again, especially when I am going through phases of feeling off balance." E.T. 2012 "Tomi is wonderful. I'm still not sure how, but earlier this year my jaw muscles tightened so severely that I had a shooting pain on the left side of my face, couldn't fully rotate my neck and was in chronic pain. After two weeks of hoping it would go away I visited Tomi. It was amazing! I felt supported, nurtured and cared for during the whole process. After 4-6 weeks of weekly visits the shooting pain had gone away and I am able to function on a daily basis. The difference has been noticeable. She heals on the physical level, but I also felt healed and supported on a much deeper emotional level. She is a truly skilled bodyworker and I cannot recommend her highly enough!" H.R. 2012 |
