Welcome, I’m Nisa

Craniosacral Therapist and Somatic Practitioner

I’m passionate about supporting clients to heal from long-term nervous system patterns of fight/flight/freeze, developmental and shock trauma, and insecure attachment adaptations.  My work focuses on moving clients through the physiological and emotional impacts of trauma, and into the later blossoming stages of post-traumatic growth. The reclamation of your right to a life beyond trauma, and your ability to access your truest self, is the north star of our work together. My work is relational, somatic, and centers nervous system restoration. I offer both Cranioscral Therapy and Somatic Counseling to support this transformational healing.

I offer in-person sessions in San Anselmo and Sebastopol, CA, and online sessions Worldwide.

 

I help you integrate the root issues that are manifesting as your current challenge areas.  

We work with the nervous system and the body, where your symptoms and reactions are stored.

Trauma-centered & Developmentally-sensitive

Perhaps you’re aware that your physical and/or mental health challenges are likely the result of nervous system dysregulation from trauma or long term stress, but don’t know what to do about it.  

Your relationships may feel confusing or chaotic, or you’re having reactions that you don’t know how to control, despite your best attempts to understand where they’re coming from.

Perhaps you’ve already tried multiple holistic approaches for healing your physical symptoms, and/or you’ve tried therapy for stress reduction, trauma healing, or working with attachment challenges.  

You know what your issues are, but you’re continuing to experience symptoms of nervous system dysregulation, attachment distress in your relationships, or are feeling like you can’t seem to align your life with your visions.  

By working somatically, we go to the core.

Craniosacral Bodywork

Nervous System Restoration and Trauma Healing through Craniosacral Therapy

  • “Working with Nisa has restored me to myself.”

    “Working with Nisa allows me to connect with my visceral experiences and gain clarity I couldn't achieve with cognitive therapies alone. Nisa helps me move from defending my experiences logically to connecting with myself through somatic and visualization exercises so I can discern what life choices feel right for me. Her techniques support and strengthen trust in my intuition and empower me to lean deeper into pursuits that enliven my whole self - mind, body, and spirit. She's helped me fundamentally shift how I see myself in the world. Working with Nisa has restored me to myself. I wish everyone time with Nisa!”

    ~ Denise A.

  • “I am forever grateful to this woman.”

    “I was in stage 3 adrenal fatigue when I finally met Nisa. I could barely work, and I was desperate and in despair. I had seen a couple of Craniosacral practitioners previously, but they didn't seem to "get" what I was going through. Once I met Nisa and told her my story she was able to meet me in a way that showed she understood. She *got* it. As soon as she put her hands on me and reflected back her experience of my body, I knew I had found my healer. It was then that I trusted her ability to unfreeze and shift the trauma stored in my body. Nisa is the reason that I am almost fully healed from my health crisis. Everything else was just an added support. I rarely go into a somatic trauma response anymore and my energy reserves are almost fully replenished. Nisa is warm. compassionate and deeply practiced in her craft. Her own inner work is reflected in her ability to go deep and she embodies the healing she offers. She has coached me and calmed my anxiety during the long spiral journey of healing. She speaks from experience which built a strong foundation of trust for me. She feels like a friend and can simultaneously hold me with her professional wisdom. She authentically cares about me and has been a bright light during a very dark time.”

  • "Her ability to recognize and make sense of various patterns is unmatched"

    "Nisa has been an incredible support in helping me process and release deep-seated childhood trauma from both my body and thought patterns. Her ability to recognize and make sense of various patterns is unmatched, as she expertly identifies the root causes of current issues that stem from past experiences. Nisa's patient, kind, and thoughtful nature, combined with her deep knowledge of emotional trauma and strong intuition, has been instrumental in my healing journey. For the first time in 22 years, I’ve been able to let go of the depression, anxiety, and fear that have been with me since adolescence. Her guidance has allowed me to choose new ways of thinking and reach a deeper understanding of my past, finally putting it behind me. I am so thankful to have found Nisa, who has helped me transition into living a healthy and empowered life."
