"Cynthia's sessions allow for a holy, harmonic healing experience. She holds a sacred healing space of unconditional love, support and divine reverence which helps the client to feel safe, cherished and ultimately respected. She is gracefully gifted with an ability to guide the sense of self back to a place of overall balance, harmony and integrity. It is true rehabilitation of spirit!" - A.E., Occupational Therapist

"To me, Cynthia's craniosacral sessions are a form of embodied prayer. Her gentle compassionate presence, combined with her highly refined skills, has given me new connections within my body, mind and spirit. Her sessions are an important part of the restorative healing I experience at St. Gertrude's." - A.P., Portland, Oregon

"I've had many types of body work and was highly surprised to find that a gentle therapy session with Cynthia could actually work miracles! I've had hip and low back pains for years. I had just two sessions with Cynthia and have witnessed awesome results in my body and mind. I was able to drive over 1,000 miles to S. California since my session with no back or hip pains (something I haven't been able to do in years)." - J.R., Earp, California

"Jesus did not come to explain away suffering or remove it. He came to fill it with his presence." - Paul Claudel
