CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
ABOUT Joanne
Joanne began her career in natural health in Canada, initially working as a doula and childbirth educator. She co-owned and practiced at a busy massage therapy clinic for seven years before relocating to New Zealand with her two sons to formally train as a midwife.
For twelve years, she served as a community midwife (LMC) in Christchurch, primarily with Home and Water Birth Midwives. Inspired by the benefits of craniosacral therapy for pregnant women and infants, Joanne pursued training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) and is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST/PACT) https://www.biodynamic-craniosacral.com/
In 2025, Joanne expanded her expertise by becoming certified in the Spinal Flow Technique, further enhancing her ability to support clients on their journey to health and well-being.
With over twenty-five years of experience in holistic health, Joanne provides a safe and supportive environment for clients of all ages. Her background in midwifery gives her a special interest in working with mothers, babies, and families, as well as supporting clients dealing with stress and trauma, both emotional and physical.
"95 percent of all illness occurs because of stress in the body's autonomic nervous system."
