About Ursula’s Clients
My clients come with a wide range of complaints and desires. I appreciate clients with any kind of illness, from the severe ones such as terminal illnesses, to any kind of lighter concerns. I offer my heartfelt attention and skills, and will not shy away from you; whatever brings you to my door. I will pray that our meetings will be of benefit to you, to our community and to the world. ~ Ursula

All of Ursula’s clients develop new ways of relating to themselves through increased self-awareness and understanding of their own values and motivations in life, a deeper sense of self-acceptance, and tools like mediation for advancing their own healing.

Physically-based Ailments

Some clients come to heal from chronic physical ailments, many of which are the result of injuries and illnesses. Below is a list of some of the more common ailments Ursula has helped clients heal from:

  • Allergies
  • Back pain
  • Brain or head injuries
  • Cancer
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Huntington’s Disease
  • Hypertension
  • Joint and muscular pain and dysfunction
  • Migraines and headaches
  • Post-Surgery
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • TMJ
  • Tinnitus
  • Vertigo
  • Whiplash

Many clients with chronic physical complaints have already exhausted more conventional medical treatments, which, while offering some relief, have not eliminated the core issues and cannot address the chronic pain. Often, because they have lived with chronic difficulties for some time, resolving them through our work together may require several treatments, and would include the healing of emotional trauma, grief around the illness and such.

More acute conditions, like recent whiplash or other injuries, acute lower back pain, headaches, or sinusitis, may require fewer treatments to resolve.

After my car accident, Ursula's combination of cranial sacral and acupuncture almost completely eliminated my nearly debilitating migraine headaches. Her techniques were vital to my recovery! ~ A.B., Seattle, WA

Emotionally-based Difficulties

Some clients come with emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, insomnia, PTSD, grief over lost loved ones, or the loss of direction and meaning in life. By finding and releasing (often initially through verbal expression) the places in your body, where emotional pain is stored, she can help you recover your essential vital energy, meaning, balance, and direction

Ursula is a fearless therapist. She is willing to go where angels fear to tread, willing to ask difficult questions, and I find I am willing to respond fearlessly as well, albeit with complaining. She creates an accepting space for healing ~ W.W., Seattle, WA

Personal and Spiritual Growth

Other clients come for spiritual growth. Some have lost a connection with their soul and spirit and often feel paralyzed by conflicting beliefs or ideas. Together, you can peel away the layers and uncover the soul so that it may express itself and bring new meaning to the client’s life. Cranial work is actually particularly wonderful for this, as the ever-controlling fight and flight response of the nervous system moves into the background, and the client’s own inner wisdom can begin to inform decisions, the way they feel, actions in life, and a sense of purpose.

I thought you'd appreciate knowing the AMAZING, WONDERFUL, HUGE, I'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS FOR DECADES!!! shift that occurred as a direct result of the work we did on Wednesday. The last pieces "clicked" into place and yesterday I was finally able to move/twist thru my ribs, shoulder, neck and pelvis evenly in both directions. I've been struggling to reclaim this movement for ages. Because you share your gifts and talents, I am better able to reclaim and share mine. ~ C, Seattle, WA

Health Maintenance

Some clients come to use regular sessions as a key strategy for maintaining optimal health. They use these sessions to check in with their bodies, minds and spirits to notice and work with imbalances before they become sever issues or illnesses. This of course is the most pro-active way of staying on top of one’s health - the best health insurance there is. These treatments, sometimes occurring less frequently but over the course of years, help clients adjust to changes in their lives, physically, mentally and emotionally, and create a deep sense of meaning and connection.

I have had a rather debilitating shoulder injury for over a decade that has kept me in weekly physical therapy for the past three years. Ursula worked on this shoulder for about a half an hour and completely resolved the issue. The next time my physical therapist saw me, he was astonished and asked me to thank Ursula for him! ~ Beth Oppliger, Olympia, WA
