Testimonials
Craniosacral Therapy
“My experience of Anna’s work was one of deep calm, stillness, letting go. As an osteopath, I find her work to be very pertinent for clients who, above all, have an over activated sympathetic nervous system, ie. when the body is hyper alert and reactive, constantly jumping into fight or flight response. A gentle and accessible way to support a balancing of the nervous system.”
“Four years ago, I was diagnosed with bronchitis. Two winters I suffered with it, over and over. The doctors told me it would just get worse. I read about craniosacral therapy and I gave it a try with Anna in October of last year. Last winter I had no bronchitis symptoms! Highly recommend this therapy!”
“I suffered a concussion. I had all the classic symptoms; needless to say, so much pain and pressure in the head. It was very debilitating. What really helped relieve the pressure was craniosacral therapy. It made me feel much better. For weeks I had not been able to function at all. After my first treatment with Anna, the pressure released and I was able to tolerate light and sound for longer than an hour. If it wasn’t for the craniosacral treatments I would still need to be in the dark right now. The treatments with Ann helped speed up the healing. I highly recommend craniosacral therapy to heal concussion symptoms.”
“Anna Crandlemire has truly healing hands, a professional manner, is intuitive, and best of all, is caring. She leaves me focused, refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to face the work in a reinvigorated frame of mind and body. After reflexology treatments I have experienced improved digestion, better balance, my sense of well being improves and my ability to focus is enhanced. Monthly craniosacral visits keep me aligned, on track and functioning optimally at both work and with family. Flexible schedule and two work sites give me extra choices for visits. Anna is a major factor in my wellness plan.”
“If I had understood the benefits that Craniosacral Therapy (CST) could bring me, I would have started a long time ago. Anna is definitely a gifted practitioner. To say that CST has brought me a feeling of Zen seems cliché but it’s accurate. Since starting therapy with Anna just a few months ago, my perception of the world around me is calmer, my problem-solving ability more focused and my perception of myself, more caring and relaxed. In opening up to CST, I have gained a connection to self-care, healing and growth that I had not experienced before and one that I look forward to continuing for many years to come. Thank you Anna!”
Reflexology
"I have been a patient of Anna’s for over 2 years now and am so happy I discovered her services. As someone who has suffered from chronic illness for many years, it’s often difficult to find therapies that not only assist in alleviating symptoms temporarily, but that also aid in minimizing their overall intensity and frequency of occurrence. Through Anna’s services I was introduced to Vagus Nerve Stimulation Protocol which has been a tremendous aid in helping to release stored trauma and emotions, as well as support my nervous system during my healing journey. I have also used Anna’s Craniosacral and Reflexology Treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable and insightful and I will continue to visit her practice regularly"
Lymph Drainage Therapy
"Approximately four years I had laser surgery on my left eye. I have experienced post surgery recurring pain, to various degrees, in that eye ever since. A combination of lymph drainage and craniosacral therapy treatments has greatly reduced the level of pain and some days now are nearly pain free! These results are impressive and most encouraging! I will definitely continue these treatments with Anna who is a highly skilled therapist!"
"I went to Lymphatic drainage and Craniosacral therapy to address the issue of sacroiliac joint pain that I have been experiencing for nearly two months. After three treatments, the pain and tension in this area have both greatly decreased!
Everyday walking and going up and down stairs have become easier! My energy level in general is so much better and the added bonus is that I am also sleeping much better! Anna is a competent, knowledgeable therapist with experience!"
Remote Sessions
“There is no one harder to please with distance energy work than another distance energy therapist and I am 'pleased as punch' as my granny used to say.
During and following a session with Anna, I know I have definitely received a quality treatment! I just feel more peace and overall healthiness! I had a session recently just before a major trip away. It helped so much to inspire my packing, leading to a fabulous and healthy time away. Thanks so much Anna!”
“Anna and I work regularly with each other, doing distance CranioSacral Therapy. I live in New Zealand. Anna is a fabulous therapist and the physical and emotional help that I have received has been very valuable. Try this work if you haven’t – it is well worth helping yourself in a slightly different way that may achieve such good results.”
“Working together virtually with Anna Crandlemire has been a great experience for me. I've suffered from Bi-polar Disorder 1 for 12 years, and after our first session, Anna immediately became a vital part of my mental health team. She is warm, compassionate, and capable of delving into the inner workings of the body, that directly affect our mental health.”
“It isn’t always easy to make people feel comfortable and relaxed, but Anna has that personal touch and is a true professional. During my short virtual treatment sessions I was touched by my experience. With Anna’s soft soothing voice and breathing exercises I felt more at ease, my tensions and stresses flowed away, and my knee pain and discomfort has definitely lessened. These therapeutic sessions really help.”
“I did my sessions with Anna virtually. My expectations were low at the beginning, but within 5 minutes of the somatic groundwork, I found myself sinking deeper under the spell of her direction and her voice. She was able (virtually) to target key areas of the body that needed additional attention. I could ‘feel’ her hands as she walked me through what was a very satisfying set of sessions. In all my sessions, I fell asleep at least once, and at the end of each session, there was a bone-deep feeling of complete relaxation and release that carried me through a few days. A wonderful experience.”
Posture and Movement Therapy
"I was involved with Anna during the year in three ways: general fitness for seniors, somatic groundwork, and individual sessions In craniosacral therapy. What was most significant for me is the quality of the person. Besides being very knowledgeable, Anna is very honest and humble and inspires confidence. I’ve discovered a great deal about my body and about what I need to do to maintain it at the age of 77. I have problems with dizziness, strength, and balance in particular and I’ve made significant progress in all these dimensions. I plan to continue working with Anna after the summer and I’m grateful to my friends for having recommended her. I would happily do the same."
