Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™

“Doctors recommended surgery and a Pacemaker for my heart. Fortunately Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™ saved me and made that an unnecessary option. Maintenance sessions keep my heart running smoothly.” Karla G, Medford, OR

I have known about Cranio-Sacral Therapy for a long time, and have had some work done over the years with great success. What I did not know, however, was that this treatment could be directed at the heart!
Thirty-two years ago I had a multiple birth (triplets) when I was 40 years old. It was an awful pregnancy and I have many, many “left over” issues. The worst was the development of SVT – Supra Ventricular Tachycardia. In this arrhythmia, an area of my heart tends to periodically “take over” the heart beat system and my heart will jump from 68 beats per minute up to 180 beats per minute in a nanosecond. This leaves me lightheaded, weak and very uncomfortable. I have been treated with a Beta Blocker (Atenelol) with moderate success. The dosage was increased over the years and now, here I am at 71 years old, taking the maximum dose, and the SVT is breaking through the treatment and I am experiencing 5-6 episodes a week. I was scheduled to have an ablation surgery done at the end of April 2025.
Enter Kayt Hughes. Kayt is a Cranio Sacral Practitioner who has a specialized area of treatment for cardiac conditions. I have been living in CA for the past 3 months and I thought I would visit her and see what happened.
Lo! And Behold! After my first session I found that episodes of SVT would begin but did not break through! And now, after three weeks, I continue to improve and am having fewer and fewer symptoms. In addition, I am sleeping better and waking feeling more refreshed despite some stressors. As things continue to improve I am putting off my ablation surgery indefinitely. Thank you Kayt!

During one of my Cranio Sacral sessions my heart was calling for attention. I used kinesiology and muscle tested my impairment and found I had an 8% impairment. Kayt worked on my heart for a bit and mentioned that my heart had made a quarter turn shift to the right.
Within two sessions my heart went down to 1% impairment. I schedule tune up sessions and am grateful for her heart help. Shel G., Mission Viejo, CA

I was having heart palpitations and especially when I would exercise. I was thinking I needed to have some testing done for my heart because I was concerned and scared. After my Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™ session my symptoms seem to be gone. Dr Tracy Darling, MD, Laguna Beach, CA

Myocarditis

My first Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™ session a few months ago went really well and I felt the energy moving in my heart and appreciated my heart symptoms calming down.

My Myocarditis flared up again and I went to my doctor and he told me to go home and rest and let him know if it got worse.

Since my heart was inflamed and concerning me I decided to have another Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™ session with Kayt,  It was amazing and I felt the healing going on in my whole chest with a strong pulsating rhythm that I’ve never felt before.

A few days later I had a flare up from some exercise and went to see my Cardiologist again. He sent me to the ER where they checked to make sure I wasn’t having a heart attack and sent me home feeling the same as when I went in.

The next day Dr. Tracy Darling MD, recommended another Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™. This session was lighter with more fine tuning Kayt explained. So once again I felt at peace and felt the healing in my heart area.  Since that session I’ve felt that I had 90% improvement and I’m looking forward to another session next week. 

I appreciate this natural therapy that brings relief  for my heart, my anxiety and stress. I will continue sessions as needed to keep my heart healthy. I am also sleeping better because I now have help for my Myocarditis.   Shauna O., Aliso Viejo, CA

Lymphatic, Immune system, and Stress affects our Hearts

Inflammation, trauma, infection, toxicity, viruses and illness can interfere with the Cardiac rhythm. Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™ can have a profound calming effect on the nervous system.  It can balance the autonomic nervous system, and the Reticular alarm system in the face of ongoing stress.

Cardiac-CranioSacral Therapy™ releases tension, restrictions and enhances fluid flow, which eases the amount of work your heart has to do. 

The Cleveland Clinic reports Craniosacral therapy as a gentle technique to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around our central nervous system. It helps to improve the efficiency of biological processes through inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing.
