“My experience of craniosacral therapy with Cari Naftali was at once extraordinary and the most natural thing in the world. I’m not sure I can convey the level of trust I felt, putting myself in Cari’s hands. It was like the trust of a child who had always been well-loved and cared for. I had no anxiety whatsoever, just a quiet eagerness to be in her capable and loving hands. Perhaps Cari’s midwifery background telegraphed itself invisibly to me. Perhaps it was her great and palpable human warmth. Perhaps I was just ready. Or all these things and more.

The work itself is quite subtle. I knew something was happening because I felt light energies open up, not because there was any heavy-duty pushing, pulling or kneading. A sense of well-being began to spread through me, like a mist or a finely woven net. Memories and realizations did arise with this balancing attunement, and I chose to speak them aloud. So glad I did: Cari’s responses were affirming, comforting, and illuminating. Trust built on trust.

“During the last week (after months of pushing to get our property to sell), I kept sleeping through my alarm, felt groggy/spacey in AM and could not focus in meditation.

Your presence and touch helped my system reset. Thank you!”
