Stacey has more than 30 years of experience as a nurse and athletic trainer in outpatient settings. Her practice grew out of a desire to share with others the profound effects Craniosacral Therapy had on her own health and sense of well-being. Stacey incorporates CranioSacral Therapy and its gentle supportive nature to complement her knowledge of sports medicine and orthopedic surgery recovery.
Stacey has had extensive experience working with student-athletes at the NCAA Division 1 Level. For the last 15 years, she has worked in a large orthopedic surgery practice where her focus has been sports medicine and shoulder, hip, and knee replacement.
The foundations of Stacey’s practice are ‘cura personalis’, or care of the whole person, respect for each person’s capacity for self-correction and healing, and supporting growth through all seasons and circumstances of life.
