Jennifer Ursell
Craniosacral Therapist, Holistic Therapist, Aromatherapist
I am consciously on my own healing journey of self awareness, moving through generational and childhood trauma. I continue to deeply listen to the signs around me, directing me forward on my soul path. With gratitude I walk side by side with all living creatures.
I am here in this lifetime to hold space. To deeply listen, to gently assist in the movement of energy and disfunction out of the body and to allow the nervous system to regulate and heal.
Wear comfortable clothing, sessions are done on a massage table, with the use of the Healthy Wave 5 therapy far infrared PEMF Mat: Far Infrared Heat Therapy, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy, Negative Ions Therapy, Low Level Red Light/Photon Therapy, Crystal Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy Session
Craniosacral therapy is a healing modality that is deeply relaxing for the central nervous system. This type of bodywork is gentle and done with a light touch. My hands are placed on precise anatomical structures, using manual techniques, feeling into the craniosacral rhythm that travels from the head (cranium) down the spinal cord to the tailbone (coccyx) and back up again.
When the body is out of alignment it can cause pain and disfunction. Craniosacral therapy treats the root cause, releasing held belief systems, pain and restrictions in the body. This allows the body to experience deep levels of healing. Craniosacral therapy works on all levels, physical, emotional and spiritual.
May be beneficial for: muscle pain, feeling dis-regulated, PTSD, anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalances, TMJ, teeth grinding, chronic stress, headaches, migraines, sports injuries, digestive issues, concussion symptoms, overworked, tiredness, overwhelm and trauma held in the body
Adult Craniosacral Session: 1 hour 15 min $100
7 yrs-18 yrs Craniosacral Session: 40-60 min $65
Inner Healer
All human bodies have experienced some form of trauma, the energy may be able to move through the body on its own or sometimes it gets stuck in the body and causes disease.
Somatic Emotional Release Session
Somatic emotional release, involves dialoging with the body, connecting into the bodies inner healer. All human bodies have experienced some form of trauma, the energy may be able to move through the body on its own or sometimes it gets stuck in the body and causes disease. It takes up space which causes the body to have to work harder. Connecting with the inner healer gives guidance and understanding of the root cause of the experienced trauma. The held energy is able to communicate and be moved out of the body. This is combined with gentle, supportive Craniosacral techniques to assist the body in deep healing. This is a safe space, with out judgment to release and let go of held emotions that no longer serves the body.
Adult Somatic Emotional Release Session: 1 hour 15 min $100
7 yrs-18 yrs Somatic Emotional Release Session: 40-60 min $65
Restorative Organ & Meridian
Restorative organ & meridian session is deeply healing and nurturing for the organs. Each organ is associated with an emotion, when the body experiences trauma in this lifetime, generational or ancestral, the tissues of the organs can hold onto these feelings which can negatively impact the physical body. Moving through the layers and releasing held emotions within the organs allows the body to experience a sense of calm, a feeling of being home in the body, joy and deep love for oneself. This session can also have dialoging with the inner healer.
Restorative Organ & Meridian Session: 1 hour 15 min $100

“…children of life no matter what anyone tells you, no matter what anyone says you do not have to be anything you are not, nor any less than which you are. Your beauty is met with blindness, but do not close your eyes to the beauty of life yourself. Empty eyes reflect nothing hateful eyes reflect ugliness, but you are not ugly. I have seen you so many times, made miserable, twisted against yourself, outcast and alone, in a world that cannot see you….” Children of life, Poem by Matthew Appleton

Craniosacral Therapy for Horses
Just as it is with humans.
Craniosacral therapy is a healing modality that is deeply relaxing for the central nervous system. This type of bodywork is gentle and done with a light touch.

What does a horse session look like?
I connect with the horse using my hands, listen deeply and allow the horse to guide me to an area of held energy, stored trauma, pain or discomfort. Sometimes stories show up, emotional releases happen, facial unwinding occurs, an organ communicates, muscle tension melts away.
Craniosacral session for horses: sliding scale $70-110. Please send me an email to arrange a session time for me to come to the horse.
Testimonial
"Jennifer approached both my horses with openness and respect. She has an intuitive nature, and was able to connect with both mares as if she has known them for decades. One mare had swollen hind legs that wouldn’t go down. She was able to move the fluid and the swelling was reduced by half the next day and completely gone in two days. My mare was more comfortable and energetic after her next treatment with Jennifer. My other mare has not been open to bodywork with others in the past, but she absolutely loved when Jennifer worked with her. Jennifer is a calm and kind person and I highly recommend her to work with you, your children, and your animals.” Victoria C.
