CranioSacral Therapy can help release stress and tension and ease the fatigue and symptoms related to medications and medical procedures. CranioSacral Therapy is a form of energy work that uses gentle movements to encourage the body’s own self-healing mechanisms and balance the subtle rhythm of the central nervous system. CST can be helpful for headaches, migraines, concussions, neck and back pain, as well as any stress related issue, such as grief and anxiety.
Lydia is an esthetician as well. She graduated from Yvonne de Vilar Scientific Skincare Institute in Vienna, Virginia in 2005. Lydia incorporates Aromatherapy, Ayurvedic and Lymphatic massage techniques in her facials, focusing on therapeutic relaxation as well as getting results for her skin care clients. She also offers microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
Currently, Lydia accepts new clients for CranioSacral Therapy, TMJ Focus Bodywork Therapy, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Massage, and works with clients age 6 months to 90 +. New clients, please call or text Lydia Ritenour @704-245-3820 to make your first appointment.
