What is CranioSacral Therapy?
THE SCIENCE • CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is light touch bodywork that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. CST is named for the spinal bones from the skull to the sacrum, a flat triangular shaped bone at the base of the spine. The craniosacral system includes the tissues and fluid around the brain and spinal cord that protects and nourishes the central nervous system. Here’s how it helps:
Healing Benefits
THE CONNECTION • We can all benefit from CranioSacral Therapy to help our bodies stay in balance through the wear and tear of aging and daily life. People with specific pain or dysfunction who prefer a natural healing alternative or who haven’t found a solution from mainstream medicine are great candidates. Here is a partial list of conditions I’ve treated successfully:
About Lara Hornbeck
BACKGROUND • My admiration for the human body began with a Fine Arts college degree. I began practicing yoga, joined a two-year Yoga teacher training program, and taught Yoga for many years. I gained a deep understanding of how the subtleties of an attentive practice can shift not only the body but also the mind and spirit. When I first experienced CST, it was love at first touch. Sharing the healing benefits of CST and helping clients be at ease within themselves is one of my great joys.
TRAINING • I’m certified in CranioSacral Therapy through The Upledger Institute, where I continue to study and serve as a teaching assistant. I have 1000+ hours of Yoga teacher and advanced practitioner training, as well as 1200+ hours of in depth training in CST and other bodywork modalities. I’m also currently enrolled in the McKinnon Body Therapy Center‘s 500-hour massage certification program.

Testimonials
I struggled with hip and lower back pain after childbirth, spent years getting MRIs, shots, and working with PTs. Lara helped me tap into “body wisdom” to understand why I was experiencing so much pain. I’ve learned a great deal and it has improved my quality of life tenfold. I’m able to hike, do yoga and play sports again. I HIGHLY recommend her.
I experienced CST for the first time with Lara and was so impressed with her abilities. She pretty quickly detected a problem area where I had twinges of belly pain after a UTI that my MD couldn’t explain, that I hadn’t even mentioned to her. She found it anyway and by the next day it was gone!
Lara has helped me in so many ways, from physical pain no one else could figure out to other health issues. I can not recommend her highly enough. Lara is hands down the BEST!! Her office is beautiful, a safe and comfortable place to find your inner health and vibrancy. Most importantly there is always parking!!
Lara is an amazing therapist. The first time I went to see her, I had incredible neck pain – I could hardly turn my head. After my session, there was zero pain in my neck. Needless to say, I am now a regular. Easy parking, quiet neighborhood, beautiful office space, great therapy. Highly recommend.
Lara has incredible hands. As a chiropractor I have tried lots of different bodyworkers and CranioSacral practitioners — and Lara is amazing. Not only does she have a talent for the CranioSacral rhythms, but she can tie in somatic work as well as visceral work.
