Testimonies
"To me, the practice of CranioSacral Therapy is a miracle. After my accident I felt ungrounded and off-center for a long time, physically and mentally, in spite of massage, physical therapy, chiropractic care and psychotherapy. CreanioSacral Therapy was the only approach that got to the core of what was wrong. Once again, thank you for being there."

After my biking accident in 2008, my left shoulder was damaged and abnormally elevated, and my neck was pushed to the right after the tremendous impact. The accident left a noticeable imbalance between my shoulders, neck and upper torso. The result was that I developed functional scoliosis in my upper thoracic spine. Neck issues ensued and in 2025, my neck locked up wherein I could not move my head in any direction without severe pain.
I contacted Carolyn Liarakos, an Advanced CST Practitioner. After hearing my story and taking pics of my posture, she worked on me for an hour or so. Afterwards I had much more movement in my neck, not full functionality, but movement and a tremendous release in both tightness and pain. I scheduled twice-a-week sessions and by the 4th session I had no tension, no pain (not even discomfort), and full movement of my neck and head.
But, in addition to that, my TMJ disorder was almost completely eliminated AND, get this, my face was no longer misshapen. After the biking incident 17 years prior, the shape of my face changed to an irregular, god-awful looking form which, amazingly, has now disappeared.
Oh, one other thing, my posture is now centered, my balance is better, and my head no longer tilts to the right.
I'm quite amazed with this therapy especially given the fact that there is very little body manipulation. You might have guessed that I am now a proponent of CST and in particular, Carolyn, because she knows a lot more than just CranioSacral Therapy.
