★★★★★

My husband has had tension headaches and neck aches for a while now. They always come after he has been bush hogging on the tractor or cleaning land with the chain saw or driving long distances. After 2 visits with Courtney, he noticed a difference in his mobility. He wasn’t as stiff in his shoulders and neck. And Courtney suggested he get a standing desk to work at, which also helped his posture. In two months of consistently seeing Courtney, he has been on the tractor, mowing, running the chainsaw and even drove 6 hours one way (all of those things have triggered neck and headaches in the past) and he hasn’t had any problems. Courtney is professional, kind, her schedule is flexible for busy people. And she has truly found the root problem of the tension in my husband’s upper body. We are so thankful for her! If you are on the fence, give it two to three sessions and you will be sold. Don’t spend your life suffering. Just book with Courtney.

Courtney is so wonderful to work with, and I had such a great experience with CFT/CST. For the first time my neck pain completely disappeared, and I felt so calm & peaceful. Who knew such a gentle modality could be so profound. Once I am pregnant I will absolutely be continuing my sessions with Courtney.

★★★★★

My husband has a movement disorder and Courtney has been a god send. Having mobility issues, it’s vital that a patient is able to navigate at home. My husband was having issues with getting in/out of bed, using the commode and navigating the shower. Courtney has been able to give him keys to make these daily tasks which were mountains for him to climb, so much easier. Most importantly , she went over how to get up after a fall which was his biggest fear. You are in wonderful hands with Ms. Courtney and we highly recommend her.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I usually get an appointment for craniosacral therapy, and how far in advance can I book online?

Most appointments for craniosacral therapy are scheduled within about 10 business days, but sometimes it might take up to three weeks if things are busier, like during certain times of the year. You can book a session online up to 3 or 4 weeks in advance., and there are both single session and intensive options available. If you have special scheduling requests, it’s best to reach out directly.

Can I book a wellness visit instead of skilled Occupational Therapy if I’m looking for general support with function and independence?

Yes, you can book a wellness visit if you’re looking for general support with function and independence rather than skilled Occupational Therapy. Wellness visits are a good fit for people who don’t need medical or insurance-based therapy but still want help with daily activities, routines, or reaching personal wellness goals. These visits focus on practical strategies and overall well-being, and don’t require a doctor’s referral or formal evaluation. If you’re unsure what you need, a clarity consultation is another option to help decide what type of support is best.

Do you offer craniosacral therapy in my home, and how far do you travel for in-home sessions?

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy is available both in-office and in your home. For in-home sessions, travel is usually limited to about a 20 to 25 minute driving radius from Flowery Branch, GA. If you’re not sure if your location is covered, you can reach out to ask about your specific address. Sessions can be arranged based on availability, and appointments are typically set within about 10 business days, though it can sometimes take up to three weeks during busy times.

Do you provide pediatric occupational therapy support for developmental milestones and caregiver strategies?

Yes, pediatric occupational therapy is available to help support kids with reaching developmental milestones. Sessions can focus on skills like playing, self-care, or learning routines. Guidance is offered for parents and caregivers too, including practical strategies for handling challenges at home, helping your child become more independent, and feeling confident in supporting their growth. There are also virtual Clarity Consultations for personalized advice, including a follow-up summary and recommendations.

Do you accept HSA/FSA payments for Occupational Therapy sessions, and when is the?

HSA and FSA payments are accepted for occupational therapy sessions, along with debit and credit cards, cash, check, and Venmo. Payment is due at the time of your appointment.

Do you offer Occupational Therapy through virtual Clarity Consultations, and what’s included in the follow-up summary report?

Yes, virtual Clarity Consultations are available and are done on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. These sessions are for people who want expert guidance with things like supporting child development, helping someone age safely at home, or improving daily routines and wellness. After the session, you’ll get a follow-up summary report that includes key recommendations, any needed referrals, and practical strategies personalized to your situation, so you know exactly what steps to take next.

Do you offer Occupational Therapy evaluations in my home, and can you also recommend home safety modifications or adaptive equipment?

Yes, in-home Occupational Therapy evaluations are available. During these visits, your daily routines and how you interact with your home are looked at to figure out what might be making things harder for you. Suggestions for home safety modifications or adaptive equipment—like grab bars, rails, or special tools—are provided to help make your space safer and everyday tasks easier. Recommendations are tailored to your needs after a full assessment.

What should I expect during a craniosacral fascial therapy session, and how many sessions do most people need to notice results?

During a craniosacral fascial therapy (CFT) session, you’ll stay fully clothed and either lie down on a table or sit comfortably. The therapist will use gentle, hands-on techniques to assess and release tension in your head, neck, jaw, and body. Most people feel very relaxed, and some notice a release of tightness or warmth. Some sessions are really calm and quiet, while others might bring up mild sensations or emotions as your body lets go of stress. Everyone’s different, but it usually takes at least a few sessions—often 4 to 6—to start seeing lasting results, especially if you’re working on chronic tension, pain, or stress. The first visit is about getting to know your needs and how you respond, and follow-up sessions allow the body enough time for deeper release and healing to happen. Some people start to notice changes even after one or two sessions, but the effects tend to build over time.
