Find your joy

Joy is here, waiting for you to see it, and to touch it. No one else can discover it for you but you. I blinked. And my children grew up. NOW. Not tomorrow.

In my second year of being an empty nester, I had lost me. I had lost my feeling of self-worth, of being needed, of feeling that I was important, that I mattered. You see, my girls were my world. Now, it was just my husband Jeff and myself, and I felt a void within me. Something was missing, I felt incomplete. So, I began to fill that sense of emptiness with eating and gained a lot of weight.. I u

nderstood the importance of health and wellness, but had never truly practiced what I preached. I was so dedicated to helping others but had never made myself the priority. In November 2015, I finally realized that I needed to make a commitment to finding myself, to being healthy- mind, body and spirit. I had heard all the cliches – ‘you cannot serve from an empty cup’, in order to love others we must first love ourselves’. As a physical therapist I finally realized the importance of ‘walking the walk’, not just ‘talking the talk’. I recalled the story of the overweight physician, smoking a cigarette, telling his patients how important it was to be healthy. I NO LONGER wanted to be that hypocritical healthcare professional and knew that it was time to make a change. In time, I lost weight and partially found myself again. While I believe that when we have our health, we have it all, I realized that health is so much more than just weight loss. What was key was the comprehensive approach -the importance of the mind, body, spirit connection. Without that, the circle is incomplete. Over the past few years, I have grown spiritually as an individual. I first became a Certified Life Coach, then a Reiki Master and most recently, a Certified Nutritionist. I also returned to the healing practice of Craniosacral Therapy (this was my first ceu after graduating with my MSPT) and continue to take advanced and specialized courses including SomatoEmotional Release, Pediatrics and Conception/Birthing and Pregnancy. I believe that the more I learn, the more I grow, and the more empowered I became in helping others. This is my passion, my goal, and my journey. The BEST part of my journey is being able to help others embark on their own mind, body and spirit adventures, helping one "find your joy". I am extremely humbled and blessed as being humble means recognizing we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others. Now, how can I help you?

Have you ever wondered how such a gentle touch can have an effect on the body?

It's one of the questions I love about Craniosacral Therapy.

We're so accustomed to thinking that if something is tight, restricted, or uncomfortable, we need to push harder, stretch farther, or use more pressure.

CST takes a very different approach.

Using a light, gentle touch, I listen through my hands for subtle patterns of tension and restriction within the craniosacral system and surrounding tissues.

As a physical therapist, I'm very familiar with using my hands in a more traditional therapeutic way. One of the things I've learned through Craniosacral Therapy is how distinctly different CST touch feels. When I enter my healing room, my hands know the difference—the intention, the pressure, and even the way I listen through touch changes.

Rather than forcing the body to change, the intention is to work with the body—giving it an opportunity to soften, release, and find greater ease.

And perhaps that's one of the lessons CST continues to teach me...

More force isn't always the answer.

Sometimes less really can be more.

Sometimes the body responds best when we stop pushing...

and start listening.

Sometimes the greatest reminder comes right from the treatment table. 💛

Yesterday I had a session with a client who recently shared a beautiful review about her experience with Craniosacral Therapy — not only the physical changes she has noticed, but the emotional support she has felt along the way.

After our session, we talked about something that continues to amaze both of us: the connection that can happen when we stop trying to “fix” the body and simply listen.

In Craniosacral Therapy, we often speak about the Inner Physician — the innate wisdom within each of us that knows where attention is needed. My role isn't to decide what someone else's body needs. It is to be present, listen through my hands, and allow my own inner awareness to connect with theirs.

And yesterday was one of those sessions where that connection felt especially profound.

Even after all of my training and all of the people I have had the privilege of working with, I remain humbled by what can unfold when we trust the wisdom of the body.

Sometimes we don't need to push harder.

Sometimes we need to become quiet enough to listen. 🌿

With gratitude for the trust placed in me and for the lessons each person continues to bring to my table.

Have you ever wondered why times of transition can leave you feeling more tired, tense, or unsettled than you expected?

August is a month of transition.

Vacations are winding down.
Families are preparing for back to school.
Schedules are changing.
And before we know it, we'll be moving into the busyness of fall.

Even good changes can ask a lot of our nervous systems.

Sometimes we don't need to do more.

Sometimes we need a little space to simply be.

One of the things I love about Craniosacral Therapy is the opportunity it gives the body to slow down—to step away from all the doing and allow us to quietly listen to what our bodies may need.

Maybe that's a reminder for all of us as summer begins to wind down:

You don't have to rush into the next season.

Pause.
Breathe.
Be where you are.

There is still some summer left to enjoy. ☀️

👐🏼 CST Tuesday 👐🏼

Have you ever wondered why the sphenoid bone is so important in Craniosacral Therapy?

Deep in the center of your skull is a fascinating butterfly-shaped bone called the sphenoid.

And nestled within a small saddle-shaped area of that bone—the sella turcica—sits the pituitary gland, often referred to as the body's “master gland.”

The sphenoid also connects with several other bones of the skull and forms part of the eye sockets and skull base.

In Craniosacral Therapy, we don't attempt to “adjust” the pituitary gland or treat hormonal conditions through the sphenoid.

Instead, gentle techniques may be used to work with restrictions and mobility within the craniosacral system.

It's another beautiful example of something I continue to appreciate about the human body:

Nothing exists in isolation.

Everything is connected. 🧡

And sometimes understanding what lies beneath the surface helps us appreciate just how extraordinary our bodies really are.

Have you ever wondered why your body keeps whispering... until it has to shout?

Sometimes our bodies begin by sending us quiet messages...

A little tension in the neck.

A headache that comes and goes.

A tight jaw.

Poor sleep.

Feeling overwhelmed more easily than usual.

We often dismiss those whispers.

"I'm just getting older."

"I'm just stressed."

"It will go away."

So we push through.

But what if those symptoms aren't the problem?

What if they're simply your body's way of asking you to slow down and pay attention?

One of the things I appreciate most about Craniosacral Therapy is that it invites us to listen with curiosity instead of judgment.

Instead of asking,

"How do I make this go away?"

We gently begin to ask,

"What might my body be trying to tell me?"

Our bodies are incredibly wise.

Sometimes, all they need is for us to listen.

Some reviews make you smile...

Others leave you speechless.

This was one of those.

"I have Marci saved in my phone as miracle worker! She is heaven sent and you are always greeted in a calm, relaxed environment. Her zen space is a safe place to allow the Craniosacral Therapy to work its wonder! It is impossible to describe what happens, but it is life changing! Enjoy this life-changing therapy on your journey of self-care. You won't regret it! ❤️"

Every time someone trusts me with their healing journey, it is truly a privilege.

To then receive words like these is something I never take for granted.

Thank you to every client who has welcomed me into a part of their story.

Your trust, your openness, and your willingness to share your experiences mean more than you know.

My heart is full.

Have you ever wondered why healing can't be rushed?

One of the things I love most about Craniosacral Therapy is that it doesn't force the body to change.

Instead, it gently supports the body's own natural ability to heal and find balance.

Healing is much like tending a garden.

You don't pull on a flower to make it bloom.

You water it.

You give it sunlight.

You care for it.

And one day, almost when you're not looking...

You notice it's blossomed.

Our bodies are often much the same.

Sometimes the most meaningful shifts happen quietly, in their own time.

Healing has its own timing.

Trust the process.

🧡 Have You Ever Wondered...?
..why doing less can sometimes help your body do more?

We live in a world that constantly tells us to push harder.

Work harder.
Exercise harder.
Think harder.
Keep going.

But our bodies weren't designed to live in a constant state of "doing."

Sometimes...

Healing begins when we finally give ourselves permission to simply be.

One of the things that first intrigued me about CranioSacral Therapy was how incredibly gentle it is.

People often ask me,
"How can such a light touch make a difference?"

The truth is, CranioSacral Therapy isn't about forcing the body to change.

It's about creating an environment where the nervous system can begin to settle, allowing the body to respond in its own way and in its own time.

Sometimes the greatest changes don't come from doing more.

Sometimes they begin with slowing down.

With listening.

With trusting the incredible wisdom of the body.

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about time.

We spend so much of it working.
Checking things off our to-do lists.
Chasing deadlines.
Trying to earn a little more.
Accomplish a little more.
Do a little more.

Yet the one thing we can never earn back...
..is time.

Time with our spouse.

Time with our children.

Time with our grandchildren.

Time with the people who make our hearts feel at home.

None of us knows what tomorrow will bring.

So maybe today is the day to leave work a little earlier.

Take the trip.

Have the conversation.

Call the friend.

Sit on the porch.

Watch the sunset.

Laugh a little longer.

Because at the end of our lives, I don't believe we'll wish we'd answered one more email or worked one more hour.

I think we'll wish we had spent more time with the people we love.

May we remember that our greatest investment isn't found in our bank account...

It's found in the moments we share with those who matter most.

Take the picture.
Give the hug.
Say "I love you."
Make the memory.

The dishes can wait.

The emails can wait.

Life won't.

💛 Have You Ever Wondered...?
..why your body often whispers before it ever screams?

A stiff neck.

A clenched jaw.

A tension headache.

Difficulty sleeping.

Digestive changes.

Fatigue that no amount of coffee seems to fix.

So often, these aren't just inconveniences to push through.

They may be your body's gentle way of saying,

"Please slow down."

One of the things I love most about CranioSacral Therapy is that it invites us to pause long enough to listen.

Not to fight the body.

Not to force change.

But to create a space where the nervous system can settle and the body can do what it was beautifully designed to do.

Our bodies are incredibly wise.

The question is...

Are we listening before they have to shout?
