Rejuvenate Your Brain & Restore Your Nervous System
Tibetan Cranial® (TC) helps your mind and brain function effectively and can be likened to giving your brain a rejuvenating bath resulting in increased circulation in your head and improved neural connections.
When your brain functions at its highest potential, it is able to send information to other areas of your body that need maintenance.
The beauty of this work is its ability to assist your body in correcting its own imbalances. TC reminds your body that it can indeed heal itself.
You are the author of your own health and disease, and you are a unique expression inseparable from the unity of your life. This philosophy is the backbone of TC.

The Scientific Basis for TC
Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) cushions your brain, regulates brain extra-cellular fluid, allows for distribution of neuro-active substances, and is the "sink" that collects the waste products produced by your brain. It is essential for the proper functioning of your central nervous system. CSF purifies neurons and glial cells, delivers nutrients and removes toxic substances from your central nervous system.
Even slight cranial trauma, i.e. bumping your head on something hard, or more serious situations like car accidents can cause compression or misalignment in your skull. Blood vessels around the traumatized area become inflamed which leads to scar tissue. When CSF encounters scar tissue, it has to circumvent the area. The nerves on the other side of the scar tissue become compromised and dry out. Dry nerves cause a reduction in nerve transmission.
How TC Works
During a Tibetan Cranial session, your cranial structures are fine-tuned, which allows impeded cerebral spinal fluid to move evenly around scar tissue.
Results:
Enables more naturally occurring electricity to move throughout your nervous system.
All areas of your brain and spinal column receive more hydration, and information is more readily received throughout neural pathways.
Your brain functions more optimally and is able to send information to other areas of your body that requires maintenance.
By strengthening and restoring your nervous system, chronic pain and other deep issues find the opportunity to transform, and overall well-being is greatly improved.
TC is a unique combination of disciplined technique and attuned intuition. It is based on the natural integration of body, mind and Soul. This dynamic and profound method fully unifies all aspects of one's unique and natural sense of well-being.
TC has a rich and ancient history that originated in the Himalayan highlands about 2000-3000 years ago. This healing practice is more than a method of anatomy; it is a lineage of sacred knowledge that has been passed down through generations of deeply devout Buddhist Monks.
What to Expect during a Tibetan Cranial (TC) Treatment
Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended (no jeans or hooded sweatshirts).
You remain fully clothed, removing only your shoes, belt and jewelries.
You lie on a wooden table while Heidi kneels at the end of the table at your head.
At various times, pulses on your head, wrists and feet are assessed.
Fine-tuning is made to your neck, cranium, face, mouth and jaw.
Experiences vary according to the condition of each individual, and from treatment to treatment.
At various times Heidi will touch vital points on your skull, wrist and ankles, deeply assessing pulses that give important information about the systems in your body. From this information, specific fine-tuning is made.
During the treatment, pulse reading is repeated and fine-tuning is made until optimum balance is achieved. Your skull, face, mouth, jaw and neck are areas typically attended to. As a result, the whole body instinctively relaxes into alignment.
Your spine will realign with the rest of the body without any adjustment applied directly to the spine itself.
During the entire treatment, Heidi holds an internal sacred space of prayer, mantra and meditation.
At the end, the work is sealed, followed by a period of quiet relaxation. This process allows for a full integration to take place.
How Many Treatments Are Needed
The results of even one session can continue long after it has been completed. However, depending on your condition, multiple consecutive sessions and periodic "check-ups" is required to fully integrate subtle body structures.
It usually takes a minimum of 10 treatments to stabilize the cranial bones to the point that they have achieved their maximum improvement and their greatest degree of health and balance.
For most people it is most efficient to receive the treatment close together, ideally consecutive days, however, if that is not possible then a few days apart, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. The time between appointments can be extended over many months but it is less efficient and can increase the total number of treatments needed.
During each treatment, the core patterns are further balanced and the root cause of the symptoms can be addressed.
Once stable an average person comes in for a tune up 3-4 times a year.

What Typically Happens after a Tibetan Cranial Treatment
Profound relaxation is a natural result of a TC Session, and it is common for some people to sleep several hours after a session. Others may experience a noticeable increase in energy.
A reduction in pain or increase in overall functioning may occur immediately after a session, or could develop gradually over the next several days.
Because TC results in a natural healing process, the results may occur weeks after a session.
For some people a body reorganization process may occur as the body adapts to the release of previously held patterns.
Overall, most people experience a profound state of well-being.

Success Stories
“TC is some of the most intelligent and profound bodywork I have ever received. ”
“Heidi’s presence emits unconditional love and you will be held in the hands and heart of a true master. My experience with Tibetan Cranial has been profound. Tapping into the depths of stillness I noticed a shift after one session in my facial structure and I feel taller and more aligned in my spine. My cells feel like they are tingling with aliveness and the vastness of empty space filled me up on the inside. The lineage of this healing art is a gift to humanity.”
“I had been feeling sick, dizzy, and out of sorts, where all the doctors could find was a small brain aneurysm. After I was in and out of ER’s and just flat out frustrated, I turned to Heidi and received a Tibetan Cranial session. This is one of the most eye opening, emotional healing sessions I have ever been given. I have felt better since that day, and went back to my doctor a couple months later for my follow up MRI where they determined my brain aneurysm was no longer there. I am truly grateful for whatever forces brought us together, and I recommend her constantly! ”
“I can honestly say that Heidi has changed my life. I believe that with all of my heart. She has taught me to love and forgive myself in a way that has given me my life back. I have immense feelings of thankfulness, gratitude and appreciation again for the first time in my life. I suffered with severe depression and anxiety for many years. The negative spiral was so dark that I could barely get through each day. I was so full of regret, anger, sadness, and frustration with my life. I hated waking up every day. I was desperate for something or someone to help me. My first Tibetan Cranial session with Heidi was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. She created a warm, relaxing, loving, comfortable environment where I melted into the table and surrendered completely. As she worked on my head and mouth I was overcome with emotions. I had tears streaming down my face. It felt so amazing to release pent up stress, stored up emotions, grief, sadness, and to just let it all go. At the end, I felt more relaxed than after having spent a day at the spa. It was the most amazing feeling. ”
“I originally scheduled an appointment with Heidi because I was feeling blue. Little did I know she would be able to help me cope with a jaw issue that developed after recent dental work. Her TC sessions leave me feeling balanced, at peace, able to sleep soundly and revitalized. Heidi draws on an array of natural healing knowledge, bridges traditional techniques and modern ailments and remains a compassionate caregiver all the while. ”
“A trusted friend referred me to Heidi after I experienced a seizure several years ago. During that time, I was also experiencing headaches, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and a feeling of imbalance. My first session with Heidi was nothing less than life changing. I went home feeling relaxed, balanced, and slept better than I had slept in years. I continued to see Heidi regularly and I have not experienced a seizure since my first session nearly three years ago! Heidi has continued to see me over the years, and I always leave her home feeling rejuvenated and balanced. She is truly a gifted healer and I am blessed to be connected to her.”
“Heidi came highly recommended to me by multiple sources and after my first treatment I know why. She took the time to meet me, listen to me and introduce me to the Tibetan Cranial methodology, and much, much more. Being a long time Migraine sufferer I was coming into my first session on my 20th consecutive day of my latest Migraine. The next day, following my treatment, I awoke for the first day in three weeks - pain free. So far this has held and I have not felt the pain that I have had for so long. I have not considered myself to be a ‘spiritual’ person and Heidi has introduced spirituality to me as well. I was only looking for help with my Migraines and she has offered so much more. If you allow her to work her magic on you, I doubt you’ll be sorry!”
“I’ve had multiple concussions, one recently. Tibetan Cranial was profoundly helpful and effective with releasing old trauma, scar tissue and patterns of restriction. I feel more present. My vision is improved. Jaw (TMJ) symptoms have decreased incredibly. Powerful, Amazing work!”
“The effectiveness and profundity of this work on the realigning, balancing and expanding of my body/mind/energy complex is immediate. I feel as though the lifetimes of ‘sediment’ collected from my experiences and stored in my body - cells - energy - all cleared away and now I am lightyears closer to alignment with God & Gurus and my ability to 1) receive and hold/integrate their blessings 2) maintain my Light and Alignment. What a profoundly, wonderful gift! My gratitude & love are boundless. The palatte work is amazing and the moments of silence @ the end were beautiful - reminiscent of being in utero and, once I ‘came back’, I certainly feel myself reborn... Thank you, thank you, infinite thanks!”
“So much gratitude for an AMAZING Tibetan Cranial session! I can’t recommend your work enough! My crown chakra is open and bright and my jaw is relaxed and renewed...thank you Heidi!!”
“Tibetan Cranial is truly what had really started my journey to my transformation, and helped me to begin to get in touch with myself again! I just love Tibetan Cranial work. It is so enlightening and brings so much peace and happiness into my body and spirit. It allows me to have a stronger connection to my inner self and open my eyes to my divine nature!
I am so impressed with Heidi and her expertise and knowledge of herbs, herbal formulas, as well as her understanding of the healing of the human body. Heidi is a wonderful and a profound Practitioner of Ayurveda and an expert in Tibetan Cranial practices! I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. Thank you HEIDI for all you do for so many people and thank you for bringing peace and happiness into my life!”
“My son was having horrible migraine attacks as a result of radiation treatments for a brain tumor. He would wake with a very sharp pain in his head, which would progress with paralysis to his right arm and hand, then become aphasic for a period of time until the episode pasted and he would return to normal. We had rushed him to the hospital several times thinking he was having a stroke, but all the tests proved uneventful. We had also taken him to several Neurologists who could not diagnosis or provide any valid treatment plans. We were all very discouraged and frightened by these ongoing episodes. I had never heard of TC until a friend at church told me that this ancient method and practice had helped her daughter who had debilitating migraine headaches and was helped tremendously. I myself am a Healing Touch Practitioner and believe completely in alternative modalities. I went to the website and did some research before calling Heidi. Chris saw Heidi for a few years and had only one attack (after a severe case of the flu) since she started working with him. He always felt calm and relaxed after the treatments and we are so grateful to have found Heidi and TC.”
“Heidi, thank you for all the wonderful work you do. You have made a huge difference in my life, healing my headaches and teaching me, with patience. Your intuition combined with your education makes you a truly remarkable healer, one I would happily send people to, which I do! Namaste to all.”
“I entered into the session thinking that my neck was out of alignment and that I needed a little sinus pressure relief. I realized how out of balance I was once I was on the table. I felt myself relax as everything shifted back into place. There is nothing quite like the feeling of getting back into balance. It is like coming home. I felt tremendous relief when Heidi did my jaw. It felt like my cheek bones were put into their proper position. I am going through a process of letting go “messages from childhood that no longer serve me”. I believe that the session I had with Heidi accelerated that healing. It has been my experience that I get a “release” from things I may be working on psychologically in a very tangible and physical way with a TC session. After the session, I felt energized and the sinus pressure was relieved. I reached a very deep meditative state when I practiced my Kriya meditation shortly afterward. As always, my sleep was tremendously restorative the night after the session. It is almost like the body can work more efficiently, now that the fluids are moving and the alignment is correct.”
“The vertigo is gone right after the session. My face pain is pretty much gone. My energy level is increasing everyday. My sleep pattern immediately fell back in place the first evening. I can focus and I actually worked a full day at work today. I am so blessed to have you in my life. You are so kind, gentle and caring.”
“You really do embody what I am gathering to be the heart of Tibetan Cranial. You honor whoever graces that table with the upmost purity and presence. ”
“Heidi is a master who cares. I am confident in Heidi’s knowledge and gifting plus excited we are working together. She is gentle, kind and wonderful. It’s an investment in me and moving forward in my life. My best days are still days ahead. Breathing with excellent health and with this new life, Love ya Heidi.”
“It was a remarkable experience I plan to repeat. Heidi was confident, warm, professional, thorough and gracious as she guided me from our intro interview & paperwork, into the session and back through our closing business. The healing session itself was the remarkable event. Heidi worked carefully & deliberately ever deeper while gently tailoring her touch & comments to meet my individual needs. By the end of the session, there was an astonishing abundance of new internal territory I never knew existed inside my mouth & cranium. It made breathing pure pleasure again. I look forward to more.”
“I feel great after the Tibetan Cranial work. It feels really good to feel prana move through channels that were blocked and are now open. I am looking forward to more work, and thank you again, really amazing!”
“I feel a very expansive sensation all over, especially in my head, eyes, shoulders. It’s very blissful, floaty. I feel as if I’m blending into the space around me and more quiet inside. My whole body inside feels relaxed, connected and flowing. I feel quieter, more calm, as if my aura is huge! Delightful.”
“I feel differently since I completed Heidi’s wonderful Tibetan Cranial treatment. There’s a burden taken off of my head and shoulders. My family says I am walking straighter and that I have a better posture. The treatment was very relaxing, even when it was intense. That was probably because of the atmosphere and the confidence I felt throughout the session. Thank you.”
“In each session with Heidi, I felt fully loved, nurtured and went into a place of DEEP relaxation. My jaw is MUCH better! I can chew without discomfort. Heidi told me that my body would remember how to align itself after we completed the work. I have continued to work with Heidi and my jaw is MUCH better and continues to improve with each session. I can only say WOW! If you feel stressed, go check this out. I recommend Heidi wholeheartedly!”
“I am feeling soooo much better. What a difference-I am so grateful and appreciative of your work.”
“I appreciate the treatment. Your meditative presence and thoughtful healing work has assisted in restoring balance and health to my being. I appreciate the blessings that you bring, the harmony that you restore is wonderful. Thank you. ”
“Heidi has an amazing gift that is translated well through the use of the Tibetan Cranial. When she works on me I usually go into a deep state of healing and relaxation. I have worked with other practitioners of this modality of healing and none have felt as competent and transformative as Heidi.”
“Heidi’s beautiful being reveals itself through her fingertips - warm, precise and knowing.”
“It is rare to meet a person truly dedicated to the betterment of others. But, I was lucky to meet Heidi. She helped me enourmously while treating me with her wonderful healing hands, and teaching me with her compassionate heart and wisdom. If I were to define Heidi in two words, it would be “pure love”. Thank you, Heidi!”
