“Nothing can so pierce the soul as the uttermost sigh of the body.”
George Santayana

Diane’s experience is that most of us have limitations in mobility, pain, etc. that limit our full engagement with our lives. For example, things like back pain, headaches, incontinence, etc. effect our ability to work, to play, and just to engage in life fully.

She uses a systems approach with a wide variety of manual therapy tools to maximize the function of the impaired system(s).

Among Her Manual Therapy Tools Are:

  • CranioSacral Therapy I and II
  • Kinesio Taping
