Naava Heino
Hi! I’m Naava, a craniosacral therapist, a licensed massage therapist and a practitioner of presence.
Craniosacral Therapy has fascinated me since I received my first treatment about 10 years ago. After that my dream was to study this modality myself. My dream came true when I attended my first course in 2021 at Upledger Institute Finland. The experience during the course and the changes that started happening in me were both gentle and profound at the same time. From then on started to give treatments and I have continued my studies with 4 further courses. On my craniosacral path my teachers have been Thomas Rasmussen and Erin Riley. Along with craniosacral therapy I have also studied other body work modalities including classical massage, shiatsu and thai yoga massage.
When giving treatments the most important things for me are to be very attentive and grounded when tuning into my client. I also want to respect and honor the individual background and experience of each of my clients.
Along with bodywork, yoga, meditation, relational practices and music have been important in my life to keep growing and learning as a human being.
