Terri-Lee graduated from Northumberland College in 2000, with a diploma in Massage Therapy. While maintaining a full-time practice, she returned to Northumberland College as a part-time instructor of
Anatomy, Assessment and Clinical Skills, and Supervisor of both the Public Teaching Clinic, and the MS Teaching Clinics through 2003-2004 and 2017-2020.
Terri-Lee’s passion for learning lead her to the study and practice of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and she now specializes in CST, a light touch approach that affects some of the deepest tissues in the body. Few
body structures have more influence over your health and well-being than your Central Nervous System (CNS). Tension, strain, or injury of the tissues that surround the CNS can compromise optimal function.
CranioSacral techniques ‘free’ the nervous system to perform at its best. CranioSacral Therapy helps the body relax, self-correct, reduces pain and stress, strengthens resistance to disease, and enhances your
health and well-being.
CranioSacral Therapy is affective for all ages, from infants to elders, and because the CNS influences virtually every structure and system of the body, the potential for positive change exists in just about every condition or injury a person might be experiencing. Whether a condition is considered neurological, mechanical, mental/emotional, or systemic, CranioSacral Therapy has the potential to help.
“I am often inspired by my clients and by the body’s ability to heal”, says Terri-Lee. “I feel fortunate that I am in a position to be able to facilitate or enhance the healing process.”
Terri-Lee graduated from Northumberland College in 2000, with a diploma in Massage Therapy. While...
