Healing And Wellness Sessions
My life has modeled a healing journey… Always seeking to heal from my own trauma and pain and then learning to integrate what I have learned. Unfolding my life’s purposes has brought me to a greater ability to be present to others and to practice the skill of relationship as I have learned to be in more compassionate relationship to myself.
My Healing/Wellness Sessions reflect this process. Each session is unique and may incorporate any of the multitude of tools/therapy techniques I have learned. While I have listed a number of the trainings and certifications I have taken over the past 40 years, my session work is about PRESENCE. Even before we engage together to identify your needs, I am listening with my intuitive presence to your soul’s voice, seeking a larger relational field, in a sense “reading you” and inviting guidance to facilitate your session. Then the ‘therapy techniques’ incorporate a larger field of support.
Our GOAL together is to bring into your conscious awareness a recognition of your inherent health or inner guiding, healing presence to reveal any blocks to healing, then expanding awareness of your own internal process by helping you to become more ‘self’ aware and body conscious. When appropriate, imagery, sound/vibration and touch complement and support your experience of inner physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing and well-being.
Wellness is a Choice. Healing arises from an attitude of Self-Awareness and Self-Responsibity. We must CHOOSE consciously how we want to live.

What is CST?
Described as “the healing power of a gentle touch',
Craniosacral Therapy is a highly effective light-touch therapy that works with the whole body and the source of pain and dysfunction simultaneously. With CST and given proper support, the body will heal itself, creating a custom solution to any problem that is causing discomfort. Therapists place their hands over the area of the body that is most related to the source of the problem. For an expanded discussion read more here
The 13th century poet Rumi said, ’There is a way between
speech and presence where information flows. In disciplined silence, it opens. In wandering talk, it closes.’
When I get silent, the channel opens. On a good day I’m picking up information with my inner ear. I’m
sensing the client’s soul journey with my own heart and soul. And I’m doing my best through tactile and
verbal means to help my client regain their inner path."
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a technique used to treat injuries and discomfort, reducing pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial Release differs from other types of in that it targets the fascia - the membrane surrounding muscles - rather than the muscle itself. Since fascia completely encases every muscle in the body, imbalances in the fascia can have serious effects on your range of motion and comfort level.
While other forms of treatment can overlook the fascia, myofascial release focuses specifically on releasing tension in this important membrane.
Lymphatic Drainage
Per hour minutes: $85
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.

Energy Field Therapy
or BioField Tuning
Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has
a "life force". The electro-magnetic field which
emanates from the tissues is much like the field
generated from any electronic device. In the case of
the human body this 'field', also called the aura,
chi, or prana is associated with these
emanations but can also be considered as the
vibratory frequencies of the soul vibrating at a
slower rate, the physical dense tissue as the slowest
expressions of our soul. Our physical and emotional experience can be identified in this field before we experience it. So physical symptoms arise as 'congestion' or incongruence in the field prior to manifesting in the body.
In the same way all of our experiences which are held in the body as 'energy cysts' or tissue congestion (our symptoms) are also then held or expressed out into the field and can be identified and resolved here.
Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field intention, hands and sound to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.

How Does It Work?
CrainioSacral Therapists are trained to feel and monitor changes in the body’s tissues and enhance the deeper healing rhythms expressed by the body’s innate wisdom. In the process of monitoring, therapists’ hands follow and support changes in the client’s body as they occur rather than moving a person’s body in any given direction to follow a protocol. This is the principal difference between CST and most other therapeutic types of bodywork.
Health, wellness and joy lie behind the life story held in the body as tension, pain and all symptoms of chronic illness. Craniosacral therapy is not so much a “doing to” therapy as a partnering with you and your body’s wisdom to explore and open a unique healing process. CST teaches you to develop a “felt sense” of your body, to learn to dialog with your body’s inner wisdom, to listen and respond to your unique inner resource and potency in a safe, supportive space. Symptoms can then begin to resolve and true healing unfolds. This learned body awareness then becomes a lifelong resource to find and maintain health.
Somato-Emotional Release
Somato-Emotional Release (SER) is an aspect of CranioSacral work grounded in Gestalt Therapy, Psycho-Synthesis and Imagery techniques. The emotions of distressing and traumatic experiences unable to be fully resolved in the moment are 'held' in the body neurologicaly or energetically until we have the resource to attend to them and give them expression. During wellness/healing sessions imagery and touch guide and support these emotions/energies to express and release allowing clarity, awareness and healing to unfold.

DNA Repatterning
Ancestral DNA Repatterning is about identifying the 'ancestral story' held in the energetics of our DNA which is interfering with the unfolding of life purpose. This manifests as a current health or life issue which is keeping us stuck.
Drawn from the pioneering work of Margaret Ruby (The DNA of Healing), and Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief), this elegantly simple process uncovers the theme, and it's underlying emotional and archetypal energy interference pattern based on an ancestral survival strategy. This leads to the discovery of the unconscious emotional program and belief playing out in our current life story. Once this becomes clear we have the ability to see with a new perspective, create a change of heart and neutralize the emotions which created the energetic interference pattern. We are then free to create a new story.
DNA Repatterning can be done or as part of a full in-person session.
Remote/Phone Sessions
While I am now available for in person sessions, I will continue to offer Remote/Phone sessions to provide support for clients who are unable or not yet ready to go out or who need additional support. While some of you have already experienced 'remote' sessions with me, for many of you this is a very new concept.
WHAT A REMOTE SESSION IS LIKE
Sessions are done over the phone for about an hour. It is helpful to be sitting in a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the ground or lying on a bed with your knees bent and feet flat on the bed. You may use earbuds or speakerphone. We will check-in together and I will support and guide you to drop into your body and connect to your inner wisdom with a guided exploration helping you to become aware of sensations and the depth of inner support available to you. I will offer "energetic hands"wherever you would like them to support you in your session. Gently holding your attention in your body and dropping deeply into relaxation facilitates an understanding of the information held in your body. Often called "holding space", I will assist you by guiding you with questions and supportive presence to help you connect with the deep informing that is available to you.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
I am So thankful for David Hansen’s skills and healing energy. Being in the comfort of my own home allowed me to go deeper into finding troubled areas in my body. It was a relief knowing I wouldn’t need to drive afterwards, that I could rest, take my time and process the changes initiated by the session. Though it’s hard to describe, it was as though physically he was right there with me and he is so insightful and very supportive emotionally. I highly recommend his phone sessions. Gerry C. Chardon, Ohio
David is a gifted healer who works with sensitivity and compassion. He helped me in a phone session when I was dealing with chemotherapy and breast cancer surgery. His gentle technique allowed me to access my innate healing energies which continue to assist me in my healing process.
