✦ Testimonials ✦
I have never had a craniosacral session done before but after one session with Kiri, I became a believer. I was a few days away from giving birth, and my body was full of aches and discomfort. Kiri made me feel safe and secure during the consultation phase. I felt heard and cared for. Their warm hands and gentle touch put me into sleep and when I was done, my sciatica felt much better and I felt ready to give birth. Whenever their hands were near my mid section, I also felt the baby move around as if they were responding to their touch as well!
I did another session with Kiri a couple weeks after giving birth, and I had significantly less pain when walking afterwards. I also was in a much better mental space because of the lessening of pain. I attribute Kiri's session in alleviating my PPD and helping me feel more hopeful. Overall I would recommend Kiri for craniosacral, for their calming touch and ability to provide treatment in a holistic manner.

I hold so much gratitude for L. Kiri’s trauma-informed practice for queer and trans liberatory healing ~ it is a joy and honor to work with them and have them as a part of my regular care-team for over a year(!) for craniosacral, lymphatic, and integrative body work sessions. Kiri weaves mindfulness, intentionality, as well as intuitiveness into each session. Akara Inn
Bodywork has been transformative and regenerative not only for managing chronic pain, anxiety, depression, deep trauma wounds nestled in the body, but goes even beyond to create sacred containers for spiritual centering, deep rest, and meditation. I leave each session floating on a cloud !
-I.A., Integrative II/Lymphatic Drainage
After having a big year of massive changes L. Kiri’s healing work brought me back into my body. I was not accustomed to getting regular body work and Kiri introduced me to several modalities and designed each session around where me & my body were at. I often described body and soul separately because I have historically had a really hard time with integration and Kiri was patient with me learning how to use words about what I was experiencing & feel more in touch with my sensorial life and de compartmentalize my body pain. Kiri’s sensitivity to my body and gender identity also created a healing space that felt really comfortable.
-M.E., Swedish/ Integrative I
It has been a month since my first session and I am still feeling the beautiful impact of working with L. Kiri. As someone who leans towards deep massage, I came to the session curious. The environment supported me feeling calm and it was so comforting that Kiri was open to answer all of my questions. while the touch was subtle, it was very clear to me that energy was moving and as I walked home I felt more alignment in my body. I am deeply grateful for the intentional space that was encouraged for integration and the reminder to tune into the unfolding.
-S.K. , Craniosacral
L. Kiri is simply a gifted practitioner. I have had lots of body work. From multiple different disciplines and Kiri is as good as they come. Took time to get to know me physically and emotionally and understand how my life and my history were marked throughout my body. Their unique approach was able to uncover and release several decades of tension and abuse. If I could see them multiple times a week just for maintenance, I would. I cannot speak highly enough of their skills.
