Kristen F. Dawn, CST, ISP
Craniosacral & Somatic Practitioner
Somatic Sessions: Help the body complete unresolved experiences.
As a certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner, I use the Somatic Experiencing™ approach to guide you in exploring practical, body-centered tools that help complete stress or trauma responses and integrate seamlessly into daily life.
Craniosacral: Restore harmony to disrupted energy patterns.
I’ll use the time-proven techniques masterfully taught by my kind and humble teachers; but, I’ll also weave a constellation of intuitive healing practices into your session.
The Riverways Studio
on the Farmington River in the historic Collins Axe Factory in Canton, CT
Note: the axe factory was built in 1826 and is a quirky, rustic space. If spaces with character [that aren't exactly elegant] are your jam, you'll love my studio. To get to my office, you'll need to walk down a flight of old stairs. If stairs aren't an option for you, let me know and I'll give you directions to drive around.
"Kristen has a natural way of healing with a gentle touch and really understands how to connect deeply with your body. Her positive and kind demeanor, coupled with her expertise in navigating the emotions that arise during sessions, makes for a profoundly therapeutic experience. Kristen is a remarkable light worker, grounded and empathetic, making every session a rejuvenating journey."

“I had a session with Kristen in the midst of motherhood with 'two under four' feeling generally stuck and overwhelmed. I didn't make the connection until a week after seeing her for craniosacral therapy, but there was an immense shift in me the following morning after our session. I was able to be more present and softer, which is something I'm really working on as a mom ... and, it's not easy. I feel the session with Kristen cleared up space for self-compassion, loving kindness in day-to-day interactions and an overall feeling of well-being."
