After suffering from migraines for most of my life, I was no longer able to take the drugs that had relieved them. When that happened three years ago, I was very concerned --and frightened. My physician recommended Cranial-sacral therapy with Catherine Housseau, and I have not had a migraine headache since then, much to my skeptical amazement! I continue to have her treatments regularly.

I started going to Catherine at the suggestion of my husband, a firm believer in regular massages. Now I rely on her to rid my body of all its knots and kinks and I am so very thankful for the relaxation she brings to my life. Her passion for and knowledge of the human body and holistic therapy has motivated me to take better care of myself. I feel so much healthier!

Catherine is an outstanding massage therapist and a true healer. Of all the massage therapists I’ve tried, she has provided the most relief. She has intuitive way of knowing which areas need the most attention, and an exceptional way of working that provides deep relaxation for mind and body. If you are looking for relief from stress and muscle tension, or just want to treat yourself to feel great, I highly recommend her.

Catherine’s use of Craniosacral therapy has been the most powerful method I have tried in my quest to deal with a life-long problem with depression. I feel much more energetic and have an increasingly positive outlook. I am more physically integrated and at ease in my body. My day-to-day activities flow in a way I have not experienced before. Catherine is a true healer, embodying a deep understanding of Craniosacral technique with a profound spiritual sensitivity.
I recommend her highly to everyone I know.
