Hannah Gemmett LMT

Welcome to my safe and peaceful space where your body can heal. I am a CranioSacral Practitioner, and I am here to help you find balance and harmony in your body, mind, and spirit. I believe that the body has a natural ability to heal itself, and I am here to support you on that journey. I have dedicated my life to studying the human body and how it works, and I'm continuing to learn with each patient I see.

Having suffered with MALS myself, I truly find healing in the work I do. MALS is a rarely diagnosed vascular compression that affects the celiac artery, limiting blood flow to major organs including the entire digestive system and liver. MALS produces many digestive symptoms, which is why it can be overlooked and often misdiagnosed. I enjoy raising awareness to MALS, the 3 other vascular compressions, the comorbidities they can come with, and all the other rare illnesses out there. After correcting the compression through surgery in 2022, I continue to live a happy and healthy life.

Offered Modalities

SomatoEmotional Release

SomatoEmotional Release is a specialized technique within Upledger's CranioSacral Therapy that focuses on the release of emotional and physical tension stored in the body. Developed by Dr. John Upledger, SER addresses the connection between the mind and body by helping to uncover and resolve past traumas and emotional experiences that are held within the body's tissues. It addresses “energy cysts”—areas where unresolved physical and emotional forces have been retained in the body—which can contribute to pain, dysfunction, or stress. The technique involves gentle, hands-on methods to facilitate the release of these stored emotions and facilitate the body's natural healing processes. By doing so, SER aims to restore balance and promote overall well-being, enhancing both physical and emotional health.

CranioSacral Therapy

Upledger's CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive technique designed to support the body's natural healing processes. Developed by Dr. John Upledger, CST focuses on the subtle rhythms of the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By using light touch and careful palpation, therapists work to release restrictions and imbalances in this system. This promotes the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, reduces tension, and enhances overall bodily function. CST aims to address a range of conditions, including stress, pain, and neurological issues, by fostering a deep sense of relaxation and restoring equilibrium to the central nervous system.

Energy Work

Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a “life force”, and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. The Practitioner will work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. Once your energy field has been restored to full health, your physical body will follow. Energy Work encompasses various techniques designed to balance and enhance the body's subtle energy systems. This modality includes practices such as Reiki and Qigong, which aim to harmonize the body's energy flow, reduce stress, and promote holistic healing by addressing both physical and emotional imbalances.
