Helena Bacellar

I specialize in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) and Myofascial Release (MFR), and my sessions may be a combination of both.  My professional training includes completion of most seminars in the John Barnes’ Myofascial Release approach, additional MFR training from Lori Zeltwanger, PT, and graduation from the professional training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Roger Gilchrist, MA, RPE, RCST®.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, profound, non-invasive technique that addresses restrictions in the central nervous system, inviting the body to relax on a deep level, release old patterns of dysfunction, and bring back balance and health. 

Myofascial Release helps release painful restrictions in connective tissue due to posture, surgery, muscular-skeletal imbalances, or trauma.   BCST and MFR are great modalities to address muscular-skeletal issues, trauma, injuries from auto or other accidents, back pain, other chronic and acute pain, TMJ dysfunction, neurological conditions, migraine headaches, stress, anxiety, vertigo, integration of physical/emotional/spiritual issues, and to reclaim balance and well-being.

In both modalities, the therapist holds space for the client’s body intelligence to move towards health. As a therapist, I listen and follow the client’s tissue. Sometimes there is more “doing” on my part, other times I just hold the stillness. There is a consciousness that is deeply felt in this work, and I like to think of it as the client’s all-knowing and completely healthy nature healing what got in the way of health. In this fashion the most important ingredient I give a client is my presence.
