Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle therapy that can be done fully clothed and with the client in any position that is restful and comfortable for them, making Craniosacral one of the most accessible forms of hands on therapy at any stage of wellness.

Practitioners use a very soft touch – their touch is generally no greater than the weight of a nickel. Craniosacral therapy works to calm the nervous system and ease tensions in the body, allowing your natural healing processes to work more effectively.

Craniosacral therapy can be helpful for a wide range of symptoms, including:

Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Neuropathy
Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties
Stress and Tension-Related Problems

A Trauma-Informed Approach:

This type of care is extremely important as it takes into account a persons complete life situation. It informs all the care the client will have from the centre and focus is on healing from the client’s perspective. It helps clients to feel engaged, validated, as well as improving their adherence to treatments and health outcomes. In turn by being more thorough it helps to reduce costs to both the health care system and client as it is not a band-aid type of medicine.

The Four R’s of trauma informed care include :
Realizing the widespread impact of trauma and understanding pathways for recovery;
Recognizing the sings and symptoms in patients, families and staff;
Responding to trauma in an informed way and
Resisting Re-traumatization.

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) work much like a Medical Doctor (MD), providing the following services that an MD would, including comprehensive assessments, diagnosis, ordering laboratory/diagnostic tests, prescribing medications and referring to a specialist when necessary.

Dr. Julie Robinson, ND completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at St. Francis Xavier University. During her time in the program, she became acutely aware of the importance of complementary care alongside conventional care, to better serve the whole patient and improve overall health outcomes. This led to her enrolment in the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), where she completed her 4-year degree to become a Naturopathic Doctor.

Julie has 3 primary focus areas: supportive cancer care, addressing cardiovascular disease risk, and menopause. While cancer remains the leading cause of death in Canada, cardiovascular disease is the second which fuels her passion in supporting individuals that have conditions that increase their risk of cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family/personal history of cardiovascular disease. Her passion for supporting women suffering during menopause is driven by a desire to validate their symptoms and provide options to improve their quality of life during this transition. Overall, she strives to increase health span which entails providing care to patients to allow for optimal quality of life into their elder years.

Julie’s hobbies include hiking, camping, and traveling with her husband and dog. These interests have led to unique life experiences such as living in Jasper National Park and trekking in the Himalayas.
