Laura Levenhagen, RN, WCMT
Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is an ancient energy healing method that improves health by increasing the flow of Universal Life Force Energy. The innate wisdom of the body uses this energy to:
- Treat Chronic or Acute Pain
- Relieve Stress and Anxiety
- Energize the Endocrine and Immune System
- Balance and Harmonize the Body
- Speed Recovery from Illness and Surgery
- Release old Patterns and Facilitate Personal Growth
- Promote the Mind/Body Connection
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle healing modality that involves the evaluation and treatment of restrictions in the brain and spinal cord. This allows the central nervous sytem to perform at its best. CST can be effective in relieving:
- Migraines and Headaches
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain
- Stress and Tension-Related Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- TMJ Syndrome
- Learning Disabilities
- ADD/ADHD
Reiki and CranioSacral treatments feel very relaxing and nurturing. The receiver stays fully clothed and lies face-up on a massage table. Using light touch, the practitioner gently applies "laying on hands" while soothing music plays in the background. These modalities complement, but do not replace traditional medical care.
Laura Levenhagen is a Registered Nurse, Certified Massage Therapist, Reiki Master and Advanced-Level CranioSacral Therapist.
Testimonials about Laura Levenhagen, RN, WCMT, Reiki & CranioSacral Therapy
"I saw Laura for CranioSacral therapy while I had braces. She was a pleasure to work with; gentle, compassionate and patient. My orthodontist was impressed with my progress. As a result of Laura's work I was able to get my braces off 7 months early! Thank you, Laura." — J.M.

I highly recommend her to anyone interested in gaining health and understanding." — Y.F.
"There is only one word to describe the work Laura has done on my body; incredible! Since I've been working wither her,I have much more flexibility and only occasional, minimal pain. (I used to be in some level of pain all the time.) What I appreciate most about what Laura does, is that she "honors" where I'm at, what I feel, what I need, and "where I don't want to go today". I am able to feel safe. After I've been with Laura for an hour, I realize that I've had a holistic experience; I am physically relieved, more confident emotionally, validated spiritually, and just in a better place all around. yes, I'm a big fan of CranioSacral therapy- I recommend it to my friends, family, and clients." — SK, RN
"Almost two years ago, I was desperate. I suffered from extreme lumbar back pain and could find no relief: orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, chiropractors-no one could help me. I was terrified to find myself considering major back surgery, dangerously addictive pain prescriptions, Mayo's Clinic. At the urging of family members, I sought CranioSacral treatments. What did I have to lose? Almost two years ago and without much hope, I began with 2 or 3 sessions each week with Laura Levenhagen. Today, I see Laurie once very 5 or 6 weeks, have not pain, am able to golf, garden, and drive a car--what did I have to lose? My pain. I am so very grateful that I have an active, pain-free life again--at 80 years old!" — M.D.
"Several years ago I learned that the locale of memories of painful experiences was stored in the tissues of my body and not my head. CranioSacral therapy for me has been an avenue that has allowed me to reach and unlock the emotions of these memories as healing energy reaches these inner places. Laura has been a gifted, caring therapist who has guided me in this work. I am slowly reclaiming my body and incorporating in a healthy way lost pieces of my life. It also has an important spiritual component. This work has drawn me closer to God, for as I see it as a Christian, divine energy is at the heart of this work. I am deeply grateful to Laura and God for this gift of healing." — T.R.
"Laura is warm, caring, insightful and wonderful person to experience Reiki with. Her strong background as a nurse and deep training in CranioSacral and Reiki therapy give her a breadth of knowledge and skills that translate into truly exceptional treatments. Working with Laura has allowed me to tackle long-standing health issues and make progress in self-healing." — K.G.
"Laura is a calm and knowledgeable teacher. She sets a pace in her classes that is "just right" for the members. There is plenty of time for questions, explanations, and experiential work. Laura's knowledge of the history of Reiki and CranioSacral therapy along with how to integrate these methods with more traditional medicine combine to make it easy for students to ask her questions and become more confident about their own health care. For me, using these techniques on myself helps me become more in touch with my body and how it reactsto the many stressors throughout the day. I am learning how to relax more, as well as how to help my family understand how energy work can be helpful to them." — J.N.
