Kristin Farthing, CST & LMT, offers transformative bodywork focused on systemic, durable change. I address the challenges inherent to physical and psychological development and resulting from injury, illness, trauma, stress, habits, overuse. I am trained to work with the whole organism—fascia, muscles, joints, bones; organs, nervous system, and physiology; energetic anatomy. Sessions are booked below.
I get called a “healer” but don’t like that term. The healer is the client. I am a follower of the health you carry in you, always. No matter how sick or heartbroken, you have health that can be found, and amplified.
Each session is tailored to where you are that day, at that time. My therapeutic “home” is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, a powerful but soft, and gentle, therapy that fully combines the physical & energetic. BCST emphasizes the wisdom of the client’s body and the skill of the therapist in accessing and following that wisdom. To ground more into the physical, I use myofascial release. To expand into the purely energetic, I use Unity Field Healing, and occasionally Reiki.
I work primarily as a distance therapist, even for detailed, in-body work. Distance bodywork might sound weird. When I first started, I was surprised that it happened & that it worked. The more I do it, the more impressed I am with what it can do. I am a precise, detailed therapist, and know a lot of anatomy. This precision is heightened in distance sessions, because my perception is more comprehensive, and clients can change more, because they have more space.
I have a 2-tier pricing policy because I live in a low-income area (average salary <$25K). My rate is $100/hour ($115 for new clients). But, to keep therapy accessible to low-income clients, my system charges only a base amount and prompts you to indicate how much in addition you want to pay. Please respect that this sliding scale is offered for low-income clients ONLY. I trust people to pay what they can on the honor system. I also have a delightful practice with animals (pets, livestock, wild animals). Just for the joy these creatures bring, and out of respect for our Mother Earth, my full rate for these sessions is $60, and these sessions will also follow the 2-tier pricing policy. I do also offer a few in-person sessions each week for local clients; these are booked on a separate page and are full price only.
You can also gift someone a session! Gift certificates are available for distance sessions (new and returning clients) and in-person sessions (new and returning clients).
