BioDynamic Chiropractor

BioDynamic Cranial Sacral

At the heart of BioDynamic Cranial Sacral is safety.
When we feel safe, our physiology changes.
We breathe deeply.
We digest food and information with ease and fluidity. Learning comes naturally.
Energy is put towards growth.
Healing is a creative state of being in safety.

The gentle presence and touch offered by each BCST therapist is as unique as all our individual lives. What each therapist brings is their unique sense of embodiment, life experience, and ability to witness the beauty, and challenges of what it means to be human.

What unites us all is an incredible Awe for the body that comes from deep study and knowledge.

The term Biodynamic comes from both Rudolf Steiner and the German anatomist Erich Blechschmidt (1904–1992). Biodynamic Embryology speaks to the natural

forces which guide the metabolic processes of the developing embryo, giving origin to the form of the body.

Our origins are rhythmic.

This is what Dr. Sutherland, founder of the cranial field in Osteopathy, called "Potency." Potency, is warmth and rhythm, the pulsing life-force. In this vision, the embryo is the loving source of perfect Health alive within each of us.

I have over 25 years of deep research and practice into biomechanics, physiology, pathologies (when things go wrong), and a handful of modalities that I have studied and practiced therapeutically over the last 25 years to address many different flavors of pain.

I have trained to identify the resources of health within each persons system to see what IS working well.

I have found that when the body/being is able to be present with another body/being the innate treatment plan unfolds and often makes room for what feels like miraculous healing moments. There is an intelligence that animates every cell, tissue, and organ system. Every single person who I have worked with over all these past years has taught me something unique.

As a practitioner I am privileged to get to witness and play together in this space.

Patient Reflections

“Gabriella listens, she really listens. For a long time I felt like an old lady who just talked. Over the years Gabriella has shown me that what I think and feel matter. That I matter. This is a profound gift, thank you Gabriella”

“Gabriella has become the caretaker of our family. First me, then my husband, my mother, his sister and our new babies as soon as we welcomed them to the big bed. Gabriella was there with us days after each of their births. In the big bed, with my sister and husband and children, cooing her magic eyes and welcoming these beautiful beings with her sacred presence. You are a gift Gabriella. So grateful to have your imprint on all of our lives.”

“I had a weird hip and knee pain on and off for a few years and my regular chiropractor who I have seen for years and trust absolutely referred me to Gabriella. Her personality and warmth put me at ease, and her sense of humor and listening was lovely to be around. She gave me some exercises and worked with me over the course of a few months. When she put her hands on me I had the feeling of being held by the mother that I wished I had had. Pretty quickly my pain went away, but I kept seeing her until she moved to France. It’s a long commute to see her there but I still hope I can make it one day!”
