Many of our providers are queer, and all are open and affirming. Some of our offerings are particularly useful for re-balancing the nervous system during times of stress, overwhelm or uncertainty. A few of those might include massage, acupuncture, yoga, craniosacral therapy, reiki, somatic movement classes, or non-denominational spiritual direction.
Other modalities are particularly useful following surgery, such as manual lymphatic drainage. In addition, for anyone who’s planning facial feminization surgery, we recommend incorporating craniosacral therapy into the long-term plan, because we can work in the least intrusive way to invite the tissues of the cranium to find their new place of balance following that really significant work.
