CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and SomatoEmotional Release (SER)

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. 
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety. 
By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms including:

• Migraines, Headaches
• Chronic Pain
• Motor-Coordination Impairments
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Orthopedic Problems
• Concussions and an Integrative Approach
• Alzheimer's
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Scoliosis
• Conception, Pregnancy, Birth
• Pediatric Challenges
• Learning Differences, ADD, ADHD
• Autism and Sensory Processing
• Chronic Fatigue
• Emotional Difficulties, Depression
• Stress and Tension-Related Problems
• Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
• Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
• Immune Disorders
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Post-Surgical Dysfunction
• Sleep Challenges

Intuitive Massage

Each session begins with a dialoague about what is going on for you in your body and in your life that you would like to address. Intuitive massage is a unique session for each individual. By tuning into you and being guided by your physical and energetic landscape in the moment, I follow what is presented. Different healing hands-on techniques will help bring you into a deeper, more relaxed healing space. The treatment takes its own flow and rhythm, meeting the body where it is. This work can bring deep relaxation and healing on many levels. You are free to decide if this is session is clothed or you will be draped under a sheet.  You are welcome to book a massage appointment through my scheduling page, but please be aware that I accept a limited number of massage clients each week. Your online booking is a request and is subject to rescheduling, helping me to keep offering the care and presence you come here for.  Appointment time includes consultation and time to get on and off the table. It may be of benefit to arrive a few minutes early (no more than 5 minutes) to use the restroom and get settled.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body.

As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

90 mins $100-125

**ONLINE SESSIONS/DISTANCE REIKI AVAILABLE**

Full Moon Fire Ceremony

What is Fire Ceremony?

Fire is a powerful catalyst for transformation, providing a sacred pathway to release old beliefs and lessons to Spirit. This process allows for deep healing at the soul level without the need to relive past experiences.

Before stepping into the fire circle, prepare an offering from burnable materials—traditionally small sticks. This “spirit arrow” symbolizes something you need to honor and release. It serves as a focal point for active meditation, helping you direct your intention. You may choose to decorate it or leave it in its natural state.

If natural twigs are unavailable, use what speaks to you. Just make sure it is burnable and not toxic. Writing a word or phrase on the item or breathing your desires into it can help clarify the issue you wish to honor or let go of.

Taking a moment to connect with your intention, whether it is gratitude for past lessons, acknowledgment of gifts received, or a vision for the future. Using your breath, infuse the offering with this energy by blowing into it several times.

Fire ceremonies reconnect us with the ancient practice of gathering around sacred flames, reminding us of our soul’s wisdom. Whenever you feel stuck or seek to manifest your dreams, fire serves as a powerful tool for transformation and renewal.

*****************************************

• Dress for the weather.

• If you cannot stand for long periods, we have chairs, but we typically stand around the fire until everyone has completed their work.

• Offerings of firewood or cash are not required, but appreciated,

• Bring a friend if you like.

These events are held every month on the Friday or Saturday closest to the Full Moon, 6pm.

2026 schedule and details

Somatic Voice Therapy/Therapeutic Voice Lessons

Although I have been trained and perform as a professional singer, Somatic Voice Therapy work has very little to do with singing. Somatic Voice Therapy is an embodied exploration of the voice, our stories around our voices, and our emotional connection to our voices. These sessions help develop a deeper relationship to the Self and emotions through expression (sometimes musical) and self-exploration.

This is for you if you:

• have ever felt like words were caught in your throat
• want to better connect with your emotions
• have felt your voice was “too quiet”
• don’t like the sound of your own voice
• have tried every calming technique but just can’t seem to relax

Goal areas we can work on:

• Learning relaxation techniques
• Building awareness of physical and emotional self
• Gaining self-confidence
• Increasing self-esteem
• Discovering your authentic voice
• Liking your voice
• Speaking and singing

…and more!             

Bring a notebook and/or a voice recorder and an idea of what you want to work on related to your voice (a song, a more powerful voice, speaking authentically). You will be given homework. First session is 90 minutes, following sessions can be 60 or 90 (60 min sessions must be booked directly with me, not online.) This service is only offered at my Holladay office.

Ceremonial Rites of Passage

In our American "culture", we have very few moments that honor the big changes in our lives. Birth, Death & Dying, Marriage, Divorce, Grieving loss of all kinds, Puberty, Cronehood, Elderhood, so much that is ignored and we're just expected to deal with on our own. My intent is to create ceremony around these moments. Weddings, baby naming ceremonies, blessingways (for mothers-to-be, not a baby shower), divorce ceremonies, Grief Tending Ritual, wakes, hospice care, home cleansing, pretty much any moment on this trip around the sun. If you can experience it, we can ceremonialize it to help you honor and move through it. Please contact me directly to discuss your particular situation.  My contact information is HERE.

Payment & Policies

FORMS OF PAYMENT: I prefer Cash.  Venmo is a strong 2nd. I accept Credit/Debit Cards for an additional fee.            Venmo: @Allison-Ottley

WHAT IS A SLIDING SCALE AND HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH TO PAY? The sliding scale is offered so that you pay what works for YOU. Some of us have a little more than others, and others of us struggle to get what we need. The lowest end of my sliding scale is considerably less than the going rate in town and the high end being fairly comparable. You can tip on top of any amount, but it is not expected or required. 

***CANCELLATION POLICY*** 

For appointments: I require a 24 hour cancellation. If you no call/no show, you will be charged the lowest end of the sliding scale for my time. If you are ill, you may reschedule. 

When you register for a group, class, ceremony, ritual, or lesson, you are reserving a spot that becomes yours. Because of this, all pre-payments are non-refundable, and any cancellations will be charged in full. This policy is rooted in warm-hearted tough love, encouraging you to commit fully to your choices while respecting my time, your time, and the time of others who wish to work with me.

I invite you to be intentional—sign up for experiences you truly want to engage in and then show up! When you do, magic happens.

I also understand how easy it is to think, I just don't feel like it today —or to overbook yourself, forget about an online class, or decide you're too busy. Just like a concert or event, if you choose not to attend, that's completely up to you. However, there are no refunds or credits. This applies to both live and online offerings.

I do not offer refunds, so please be sure before you commit. This policy is firm, with no exceptions.

Here’s to mutual respect for time and energy!

Please arrive a few minutes early to use the restroom and get settled before our session. It's easier for everyone that way. Thank you for your respect and consciousness.

ALLERGIES  It is your responsibility to inform me about any allergies you have each time you come to the studio.

Teotihuacán Tour of Myth and Magic 🍂 Autumn Equinox 2026

Journey into Authenticity, Courage and Inner Freedom

Teotihuacán Tour of Myth and Magic

September 17 - 24, 2026

San Sebastián Xolalpa/Teotihuacán, México  

(I am one of 3 guides on this journey.)

Join us in deep transformational work dissolving fears & false beliefs, awakening consciousness and experiencing a place from which we can create a new life, at the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacán, Mexico. In dreaming journeys and awareness practices, it will become clear that the worst things about your past, and the biggest fears about your future aren’t nearly as painful and heavy as carrying them in your inner world every day. Releasing those fears, emotional pains, and stories becomes the focus of your intent. In a ceremony that embraces the life cycle of death you are guided to let them go, as well as your past self that was attached to them. Everything temporal dies, and we can use this wisdom to let the past die also. The fear and need to control are replaced with relief in letting go. Spending time in the dwellings of the masters that lived here 2000 years ago, you can feel their eternal consciousness and let it guide you to open your heart and inner vision.

$2000 per person (double occupancy) also includes: 

• 7 nights/8 days lodging at The Dreaming House

• 3 lovingly prepared meals a day (accommodating to all diets) 

• a private van for our group, transporting us between the airport, our accommodations and sites 

• entrance fees and experienced guides at archeological pilgrimage sites and museums

• free time for quiet reflection and connection 

• optional archaeological excursions

Community Grief Tending Ritual 🌼

**Please contact me to be put on the notification list for the next event.**

Saturday March 22, 2025 10am-1:30pm in Holladay, UT

Facilitated by Allison Ottley & Jennifer Agape

These past few years have been a journey through intense terrain, with no sign of easing as we move forward. In navigating this tumultuous path, mastering the art of grieving becomes vital for our personal and collective well-being. It is the key to keeping our hearts open to beauty and resilient against despair.

You might find yourself mourning various losses – the departure of a loved one, financial instability, health challenges, or the shattering of familiar routines. Your grief may extend to the suffering of others, the injustices plaguing our world, or the relentless assault on our environment. Perhaps you mourn the erosion of community bonds or wrestle with personal regrets and heartaches.

The weight of these sorrows can overwhelm, tempting us to seek refuge in distraction. Yet, in coming together, sharing our stories within the embrace of a compassionate community, a transformation begins. Witnessed and held in this sacred space, grief can transmute into a profound love for all that surrounds us. Love and loss intertwine; acknowledging our grief liberates our love to embrace the world with renewed fervor.

We sense a shifting tide in the fabric of our times, an awakening to the realities we can no longer ignore. It is our shared sorrow, born from our deep love for this precious planet, that may ignite our collective resolve to heal and protect it.

You are invited to join us for a few hours of retreat, a sanctuary for tender hearts to gather and honor the sacredness of grief. Here, you need not be fixed or uplifted; rather, you will find a safe haven to fully embrace your emotions, to be seen, heard, and held in your vulnerability.

Come, be part of a transformative journey within a sacred circle where grief is welcomed without judgment.

In this holy space, let yourself surrender to the weight of your sorrow. Know that you are not alone in this human experience of grief; here, you are held in compassion and solidarity.

During our time together, we will engage in:

- Heartfelt conversations and attentive listening, fostering authentic connection.
- Immersion in soulful poetry and music, stirring the depths of our emotions.
- Grounding practices to provide deep support as we release tension from our bodies.
- Moments of quiet reflection both indoors and amidst nature's embrace.
- Crafting two exquisite shrines, honoring our journeys of loss and remembrance.
- Guided writing exercises and small group sharing, offering space for introspection and collective witnessing.
- Gentle somatic movements to reconnect with our bodies and release stored emotions.
- A transformative community grief ritual, uniting us in shared sorrow and healing.

Please understand, this is a gathering where you are encouraged to come exactly as you are. There's no pressure to conform to any particular expression of grief – whether tears flow freely, silence prevails, anger simmers, or numbness envelops you. Your presence, in all its rawness and authenticity, is a cherished thread in the fabric of our community. Here, your humanity is honored, and your willingness to bear witness with compassion is deeply valued.

Regardless of where you find yourself on your journey – whether drowning in grief, consumed by outrage, or grappling with uncertainty – know that you are embraced with open arms. In this circle of compassion, we hold space for each other's pain, recognizing that grief transcends individual boundaries. Together, we stand on the sacred ground of empathy, reminding ourselves that we are never alone.

"The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give. If I carry only grief, I’ll bend toward cynicism and despair. If I have only gratitude, I’ll become saccharine and won’t develop much compassion for other people’s suffering. Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft, which helps make compassion possible." - Francis Weller
