Gina Velasco

· Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy
Gina’s foundation for bodywork began in 2004 when she trained as a Massage Therapist in Los Angeles. During her studies she learned a bit of craniosacral work. Cranial continued to amaze and inspire her from the treatments she received and from the benefit it had on her daughter who had many health issues. In 2007 she was introduced to a ‘Biodynamic’ model of this remarkable work and took a 2-year practitioner training course in London. After graduating she went on to complete a specialized craniosacral course that focused on pregnant women, babies, mothers and children – which is one of Gina’s greatest passions. Gina remains deeply humbled and moved by the power of this work. In early 2010 she relocated back to Hood River to settle and continue her work as a therapist. She believes that the Biodynamic Craniosacral work she learned is not only gentle and effective but also deeply altering on so many levels as it incorporates the whole of the person. She believes that working with stillness is the way forward! She is so excited and honored to share this awesome therapy with this special community.
