Bowenwork®

Bhrigha is now a Certified Bowenwork® Therapist. Bowenwork was developed by Tom Bowen in Australia and is a wonderful addition to Bhrigha's extensive toolbox. Bowenwork® is a system of touch that initiates a series of responses through stimulation of the nervous, musculoskeletal, fascial and energetic systems of the body. A form of myofascial work, gentle rolling motions over tendons, ligaments, and muscle bellies are used to effect change in the deeper layers, with restful integration times on the table to let the messages from the proprioceptors and receptors get all the way back to the brain and nervous system. Its like reprogramming your computer with subtle messages from the body. Can be done wearing loose comfortable clothes if you prefer.

​

Its recommended to start with 1 session a week for 3 weeks, then every 2 weeks or as needed. There are specific protocols and session frequencies for different conditions. The Blissed Bowenwork Boutique is a clinic type atmosphere on Tuesdays where people may come in for a quick or long session with 2 treatment rooms is use. This allows for people experiencing an acute need to get in to see me faster, much like an acupuncturist operates.

Craniosacral Work

 

Bhrigha studied both the Upleger system from her early mentors in 1995-2000 and the Milne system from 2000-2002 and blends elements of both for a unique Blissed experience. This subtle, light-pressured yet powerful technique is like hitting the reset button on your nervous system! It works with the cerebrospinal fluid system, and muscles and fascia that attach to bones in the skull, spine, sacrum and throughout the body to relieve pain and encourage posture that promotes health and happiness. No oils are used and you're welcome to wear athletic or loose-fitting clothing for your session.

​

Craniosacral Work is effective on its own especially with TMJ Therapies, and also blends well with Bowenwork™, Neurovascular Release™, and Reiki/Energetic Alchemy for a truly magical experience.

 

Craniosacral is great for:

 

• TMJ dysfunction

• Migraines

• Scoliosis

• Postural Imbalances

• Fibromyalgia

• Hypermobility and hEDS issues

• PTSD

• Anxiety

• Headaches

• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

• Nerve entrapment conditions

• Relief after dental visits

• Motor vehicle accident recovery

Neurovascular Release™

 

 

Bhrigha is now one of only a small handful of Anatomy Trains™ Certified Practitioners of Manual Neurovascular Release™, which grew out of the Structural Integration world. It is a form of Myofscial work that goes to the root cause of muscular tension, which is often not in the muscles themselves.

 

Through extensive study of the nervous system, Bhrigha has discovered that hard and deep work actually can cause more trauma to the body and this gentle work is much more effective, holding the changed patterns longer that other types of bodywork.

 

Fascia is the connective tissue in your body, connecting skin to muscle, muscle to bone, and all of your anatomy. When the fascial system gets bound, it restricts movement in the body, often entrapping nerves and good vessels, contributing to many postural and muscular issues. This can be quite painful and is often an underlying cause of chronic conditions. Three to four sessions are recommended to resolve long term chronic or recurring conditions.

 

Bhrigha's goal is to gently lengthen the neurovascular (nerve and blood vessel) tracts that your muscles have been protecting. This will naturally allow your body to reorganize and feel more balanced, allowing it to integrate in relationship to gravity, by manipulating soft tissues and/or correcting inappropriate patterns of movement. This helps rebalance the entire body and nervous system.

​

Neurovascular Release™ is trauma-informed and perfect for you if you  need relief from:

​

• Trauma or Anxiety issues (This can teach you how to calm your own nervous system.)

• Sciatica

• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Golfer's and tennis elbow

• Adhesions and scar tissue 

• Nerve entrapments

• Hypermobility and hEDS issues

• Scoliosis

• Adhesions and scar tissue 

• Stiffness and decreased range of motion

• History of medical interventions

TMJ/IntraOral Therapies

 

The temporomandibular joint in the jaw can cause a significant amount of pain, headaches, popping, clicking, lockjaw, and eating issues when not functioning properly. This is known as TMJ Dysfunction. Using a blend of techniques including IntraOral massage, Bhrigha can help with TMJ problems. The pressure used is generally light to moderate, but the Intraoral work can be intense. Bhrigha can work within your comfort level and you are in control the whole time.

​

For Intraoral work, you must come back for a second session within a week to check what we did and for a tune-up. Sometimes even 3-4 sessions are needed to break up old patterns and create lasting change. The first session of Intramural work can be quite intense but it gets much better and easier after that. Bhrigha also has many other TMJ Techniques in her toolbox that do not involve Intraoral work if you are hesitant to try that.

​

Get relief from: 

​

• Headaches/Migraines

• Jaw clicking/popping

• Locked jaw

• Opening and closing issues of the jaw
