Tibetan Cranial®
A quiet invitation into deep Stillness, Presence and Embodied Healing
There are times when the most healing thing we can do is stop trying to figure everything out.
🪷 To become still
🪷 To listen
🪷 To give the body and nervous system space to soften and settle
Tibetan Cranial® is a subtle, hands-on healing practice that offers this kind of space. Through gentle contact, focused presence and the wisdom of a sacred lineage, I create a deeply restorative environment where you can slow down, reconnect with your body and experience a profound sense of stillness.
For me, Tibetan Cranial is not about forcing change, it is about creating the conditions for you to listen more deeply to what is already within you.
My Relationship with Tibetan Cranial
I have been practicing Tibetan Cranial since 2008 and completed two years of advanced training with Master Teacher and Lineage Holder Shar Lee Lee.
Over time, this work has become an important part of my own experience of embodied healing.
What continues to move me about Tibetan Cranial is its simplicity.
🪷 There is no need to analyze.
🪷 No need to perform.
🪷 No need to become someone different.
You simply lie down, receive, breathe and allow yourself to become deeply present.
My approach combines the hands-on practice I was trained in with the intuitive awareness, meditation and embodied experience that have developed through decades of working with the human body, mind and spirit.
What a Session Feels Like
During a Tibetan Cranial session, you remain fully clothed and comfortably supported on the table.
Through gentle contact around the head, face, jaw, neck and other areas of the body, I work with attentive presence and subtle awareness.
You may experience:
Deep relaxation and stillness
A sense of spaciousness within the body
Greater awareness of your breath and inner experience
Softening of physical and emotional tension
A feeling of being deeply supported and cared for
Increased connection with your body and inner knowing
Every person's experience is different.
You do not need to make anything happen. The invitation is simply to receive.
A space to Come Back to Yourself
Many people live with so much stimulation, responsibility and mental activity that there is very little space simply to be.
Tibetan Cranial can offer a pause from that constant movement.
🪷 A place where you don't have to solve anything.
🪷 A place where you can rest.
🪷 A place where you can listen.
And sometimes, in that stillness, something becomes clearer.
You may notice a deeper sense of connection with your body. You may experience emotional release. You may simply leave feeling quieter and more present.
There is no particular experience you are supposed to have. The invitation is simply to meet yourself where you are.
Tibetan Cranial & Soul Renewal
Although Tibetan Cranial is available as a standalone treatment, it also beautifully complements my broader work in Soul Renewal & Embodied Healing.
Soul Renewal invites you to bring what you know into the way you actually live. Tibetan Cranial offers another doorway into that process through the body.
Sometimes healing begins with a conversation. Sometimes it begins with a practice. And sometimes it begins with becoming still enough to hear yourself again.
The modalities are not the destination. You are.

What Clients Experience
Tibetan Cranial can be difficult to describe in words.
These are a few reflections from people who have experienced the work firsthand.
“TC is some of the most intelligent and profound bodywork I have ever received.”
“Heidi’s beautiful being reveals itself through her fingertips - warm, precise and knowing.”
“I originally scheduled an appointment with Heidi because I was feeling blue. Little did I know she would be able to help me cope with a jaw issue that developed after recent dental work. Her TC sessions leave me feeling balanced, at peace, able to sleep soundly and revitalized. Heidi draws on an array of natural healing knowledge, bridges traditional techniques and modern ailments and remains a compassionate caregiver all the while.”
“My first session with Heidi was nothing less than life changing. I went home feeling relaxed, balanced, and slept better than I had slept in years. I continued to see Heidi regularly and I have not experienced a seizure since my first session nearly three years ago! Heidi has continued to see me over the years, and I always leave her home feeling rejuvenated and balanced. She is truly a gifted healer and I am blessed to be connected to her.”
“Heidi’s presence emits unconditional love and you will be held in the hands and heart of a true master. My experience with Tibetan Cranial has been profound. Tapping into the depths of stillness I noticed a shift after one session in my facial structure and I feel taller and more aligned in my spine. My cells feel like they are tingling with aliveness and the vastness of empty space filled me up on the inside. The lineage of this healing art is a gift to humanity.”
“I’m so grateful for Heidi and her Tibetan Cranial work. After leaving my first session with her, I left with zero acute pain for the first time in my life. As new issues arise, I often work through other therapies but always come back to her for the deepest healing that allows the other acupuncture and muscle work to align much more effectively. I’ve always been a “complicated” case even to my alternative cranial therapies. Her work is so effective, I truly don’t know where I would be without her.”
“Heidi is a master who cares. I am confident in Heidi’s knowledge and gifting plus excited we are working together. She is gentle, kind and wonderful. It’s an investment in me and moving forward in my life. My best days are still days ahead. Breathing with excellent health and with this new life.”
“I can honestly say that Heidi has changed my life. My first Tibetan Cranial session with Heidi was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. At the end, I felt more relaxed than after having spent a day at the spa. It was the most amazing feeling.”
“In each session with Heidi, I felt fully loved, nurtured and went into a place of DEEP relaxation. I can only say WOW! If you feel stressed, go check this out. I recommend Heidi wholeheartedly!”
“Being a long time Migraine sufferer I was coming into my first session on my 20th consecutive day of my latest Migraine. The next day, following my treatment, I awoke for the first day in three weeks - pain free. So far this has held and I have not felt the pain that I have had for so long. I have not considered myself to be a ‘spiritual’ person and Heidi has introduced spirituality to me as well. I was only looking for help with my Migraines and she has offered so much more. If you allow her to work her magic on you, I doubt you’ll be sorry!”
“I felt myself relax as everything shifted back into place. There is nothing quite like the feeling of getting back into balance. It is like coming home. After the session, I felt energized and the sinus pressure was relieved.”
“The vertigo is gone right after the session. My energy level is increasing everyday. My sleep pattern immediately fell back in place the first evening. I can focus and I actually worked a full day at work today.”
“It was a remarkable experience I plan to repeat. Heidi was confident, warm, professional, thorough and gracious. The healing session itself was the remarkable event. Heidi worked carefully & deliberately ever deeper while gently tailoring her touch & comments to meet my individual needs. By the end of the session, there was an astonishing abundance of new internal territory I never knew existed inside my mouth & cranium. It made breathing pure pleasure again. I look forward to more.”
“I feel differently since I completed Heidi’s wonderful Tibetan Cranial treatment. There’s a burden taken off of my head and shoulders. My family says I am walking straighter and that I have a better posture. The treatment was very relaxing, even when it was intense. That was probably because of the atmosphere and the confidence I felt throughout the session.”
“I appreciate the treatment. Your meditative presence and thoughtful healing work has assisted in restoring balance and health to my being. I appreciate the blessings that you bring, the harmony that you restore is wonderful. Thank you.”
“Heidi has an amazing gift that is translated well through the use of the Tibetan Cranial. When she works on me I usually go into a deep state of healing and relaxation. I have worked with other practitioners of this modality of healing and none have felt as competent and transformative as Heidi.”
