My first experience and learning in Massage Therapy started years ago while I was living in Bali, Indonesia. While there I was getting a massage every week and soon realized that it greatly increased my well being, state of alertness and my ability to deal with life's physical, emotional and spiritual challenges. The healing that I received from two massage therapists there (or Tukan Pijat as they are called) showed me the power of the Body/Mind connection and changed the course of my professional life.

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!
Craniosacral therapy originated with osteopathic physician Dr. William Sutherland in the 1900s. It is generally used to improve the movement of cerebrospinal fluid and reduce tension through gentle manipulation of the head and spine-"cranio" refers to the bony part of the head known as the cranium, and "sacral" refers to the sacrum, or the bottom of the spine.
A: The session will usually begin with a discussion of my client current health issues and his/her goals for the treatment. I normally start the session by doing some soft tissue work: it helps the client to relax and gives me a better idea of where the muscular restrictions and/or the tension pattern are.

I met Catherine many years ago. After several car accidents (rear end collisions) I was left severely damaged. Lawyers only offered chiropractic, surgery or major lifelong medications. One of my daughters gave me the gift of massage, thankfully it was with Catherine, With Catherine's help I'm able to, for the first time in a very long time, look at my life's challenges in a more positive light. Catherine has helped me to be more focused so that I can get my priorities in place and successfully accomplish them!
I have had massages before some leaving me beaten and bruised. But I have never experienced a whole body massage. Giving me what feels like a Whole Body Alignment. Catherine's hands are firm yet gentle, her words calm and positive. She has been able to massage the stiffness of my Rhuematoid Arthritis away, the tight twisted gut to a calm hum, and the deep pain and ache of my damaged spine and hips to a sense of alignment harmony.
She is able to do all of that surprisingly not by force but by a relax kind touch! In your lifetime you may have met someone that gives you support, sincere care and kindness, true compassion. You probably called that person a True Friend. I call her CATHERINE. My friend and a TRUE HEALER.
