CranioSacral Therapy by Emily Klik, LMT, CST

Thank you for finding me. My name is Emily Klik.  ​I exclusively practice CranioSacral Therapy, trained and certified through the Upledger Institute.  

​​

I see clients of all ages, bodies, spiritual paths, genders, abilities, and cultures.  For every session, I aim to create a neutral space that allows your body, mind, and nervous system to unwind, release, and relax. 

​

Like many therapists, the path to my practice started long before working with clients. After experiencing migraine headaches of unknown origin in my teens and twenties that were not remedied by other therapies or medication, I skeptically tried a CranioSacral Therapy session. To my surprise, the first session of CranioSacral therapy significantly reduced my head pain. That was when I knew that there was something to this therapy. A few sessions later, my migraines had steadily decreased in frequency, duration, and intensity.  For anyone struggling with migraines (or other long-standing or chronic pain condition), finding an effective remedy can be a game-changer, and simply give more access to living life.

​

Shortly after that eye-opening session, I enrolled in Upledger Institute's CranioSacral Therapy 1 class in June 2002, thus initiating an educational path that is still progressing. Later, I attended and graduated from EMTS massage school in Skokie IL to obtain the LMT manual therapy license, and became certified as a CranioSacral Therapist through the Upledger Institute. Non-formal training included mentoring under advanced CranioSacral therapists, participating in Intensive CranioSacral Therapy programs, and attending study groups for CranioSacral Therapy.
