Helping to strengthen positive neural pathways and a feeling of connectedness.
Meet Hillary
I am a somatic practitioner who works with adults and young adults, helping them feel more in their own body and engage their whole selves in a process of self‑discovery.
I bring craniosacral care and mindfulness approaches to each session to help clients address persistent head and neck issues, post‑concussion symptoms, PTSD, anxiety, long‑held tension, and body disconnection. Together we create an invitation to inhabit change.
Approach
I work with a lot of people who feel like they’re at an impasse with body recovery, or frustrated with the pace of their healing.
In the treatment room, I aim to hold a space that feels warm, encouraging, and curious. I strive to listen attentively to each client who comes through my door, and listen with my hands to their whole body’s story. I help them calm their nervous systems so that the same old stimuli doesn’t always register as discomfort. Maybe we can help shift the relationship with what’s being held, and maybe we can help shift the pattern entirely.
The therapy is less about ‘fixing’ and more about being present with the moment: allowing each session to have its own path and unfold naturally.
Background
I’ve had the privilege of being in private practice doing craniosacral therapy since 2013. I have gained extensive experience supporting complex humans using the gentle skills of noninvasive touch.
I received a diplomate certification from the Upledger Institute where I had an extended period of time as a craniosacral student and classroom assistant. I personally seek out a multi‑modality perspective in my own care.
Practice details
My studio‑office is tucked away in a professional building in the Mission Hills/Middletown neighborhood of San Diego. Adjacent to Banker’s Hill and Little Italy.
