Brooke Holland Craniosacral Therapy, Santa Barbara CA

We came to Brooke in hopes of getting our 3 year old son relief from chronic ear and sinus infections. She was amazing with our son and and as a bonus the therapy worked. Within hours our sons sinus passages cleared and he has not complained about his ears in 3 weeks. We are grateful to have found Brook and so ecstatic her touch was able to help our son.

Brooke’s work is so important and inspiring. I came to the session not knowing much about the process of craniosacral work and left enamored. The client really dictates what part of you the session will work on and for me, it quickly became clear that I needed help unclogging some emotional storage. There were 2 or 3 times I was both weeping and laughing at the same time just being released through Brooke’s work. Such a special experience. Thank you Brooke!

Discovering craniosacral therapy, and Brooke specifically, has improved my life tremendously and brought me farther in my healing journey than I ever expected. Brooke creates a welcoming space for you to be present and discover what is happening in your body. I’ve learned so much and been empowered in my own healing.

Brooke changed our babies life and restored our families peace. Our son spent the first 8 months of his life crying the majority of the time with no motivation to hit milestones because he was in a constant state of distress. We tried absolutely everything for him and were at a breaking point ourselves. Brooke was recommended to us and there are no words. Not only is her gentle spirit and presence so comforting and safe she is a gifted healer. After our FIRST appointment our sons demeanor completely shifted. He was able to enjoy time playing for the first time. After the second appointment he crawled that day after months of zero progress. After each appointment he has had developmental explosion after explosion. Most importantly he is now happy, silly, joyful, and curious! Brooke has changed our babies life and we are eternally grateful for craniosacral therapy but most importantly her!

I can't recommend Brooke highly enough, as a highly skilled craniosacral healer. She has a uniquely intuitive ability to find the source of pain, or dysfunction, through her holistic, listening, hands on healing approach; asking, listening, guiding, shifting, and facilitating the body's own ability to heal. I'm in my late 60s, dealing with 20 years of intense, arthritic scoliosis pain, that she has brought from an 8 - 9 level, down to 4, with long periods of zero pain! Her work has clarified my awareness, and I find myself feeling generally much better in mood, focus, and mindfulness. These shifts are life changing!
In April, I developed a problem with my left hand atrophying, and so far doctors have been unable to find the cause. I've had 2 MRIs, 2 EMGs, electric therapy, occupational therapy, and acupuncture, with no result in the
progressive atrophy. In the meantime, I had Brooke take a look at that, and amazingly there is some strength improvement each time she works on it, where there was none with the other modalities, giving me information to bring my doctors regarding the blockage location we think we have found. We are working on that, as well as continuing to reduce my arthritic pain. I've only been working with Brooke for two months, and my hope, and every day life is so much better. I hope you can have equally life-changing improvement with whatever mind/body/spirit issues you may be working on.

Brooke is not only a professional, but extremely intuitive, thoughtful, and an amazing healer. She listens (figuratively & literally) intently to assist you in guiding your way to health and recovery, mentally, physically, emotionally. I'm grateful our paths have crossed.

I came to see Brooke with post surgical pain and other issues. If I lightly touched my left temple, it would trigger a headache. After my first session with Brooke, the pain disappeared overnight. The surgery also left me with swelling and constant discomfort against my left eye. In another session, Brooke did lymph draining plus Cranial Sacral work. Now I am not aware of the pressure most of the time and, when I am, it is much lighter than before. Brooke is a very skilled as well as intuitive practitioner. I highly recommend her.

Listen, I was having the strangest foot & radiating leg pain that a chiropractor & acupuncturist couldn’t fix or even make better. It was extremely uncomfortable. Brooke took the time to really hear what I was feeling, and after two sessions, it was GONE. It’s been months and the pain hasn’t returned. She is a true healer, I highly recommend. Thanks again Brooke!

My husband is 60 and has had a long history of back surgeries as well as a few back pain/sprain flare-ups that always fixed within a few weeks without surgery. So, when he started with a backache in December of 2020 we waited to see if it would get better.it didn’t. He got worse every month no matter what he or we did. He couldn’t walk the dog, engage with our child at all or do anything really - for 5 months straight. By June 2021 after taking various meds and seeing doctor after doctor he was not able to do anything but lie on the floor all day in excruciating pain. We were just incredulous that after all my husband had been through (cancer, encephalitis and all the back stuff) that a ‘cramped muscle’, according to doctors, was completely destroying his quality of life and literally taking him down in a way nothing before had been able to. With another ‘pain injection procedure’ booked for a few weeks later.we found Brooke! After ONE session with Brooke and a few days of recovery after, my husband was not only more animated and hopeful, he was WALKING - for blocks - pain-free! With every session his back continued to get better. His strength came back and his attitude has been amazing! FUN was returned to our family! We canceled any more injection treatments as they were no longer needed. Obviously her treatment has worked for not only his back issue but for his whole nervous system, which was also compromised from his bout with encephalitis 15 years prior. We highly recommend Brooke for anyone experiencing severe and unrelenting pain. She will put the magic back into your life! THANK YOU, Brooke!

Wow, how can I best describe my amazing visits with Brooke? Let me start by letting you know that I have been in the healing arts for over 20 years and I have had a lot of bodywork, good and bad. I have to be totally honest here, Brooke’s skill level, intuition, presence and attention to detail, rocked my world! She is a master at her craft and I am so blessed to have found her. Transformation, is the word that best describes my experience, working with Brooke. If your looking to really get in and heal from whatever it is your body is holding onto, this is the person you want to work with. Your healing journey will be so much more accessible and the transformation more attainable in her table! Her approach is gentle, nurturing, loving and incredibly powerful. I wish you the best in your journey and hope this bit of insight helps you to take a step towards higher healing potential!

Both my boyfriend and I are patients of Brooke and she is awesome! She's helped me so much over the past few months in healing from my previous concussions and my boyfriend with his digestive issues. Ever since his session with Brooke he's felt like a new person. I definitely recommend!

Brooke is a gifted healer, and a thoroughly delightful human being. I had a series of sessions with her and look forward to seeing her again in a few months for a “tune up”. She cleared a lot of stagnant energy that massively helped my shoulder pain/healing after a major shoulder reconstruction surgery last year, as well as clearing energy in my throat chakra which evidently released my long-held writer’s block! Amazing healing on so many levels!

Brooke was very understanding and intuitive in treating me after a head on car collision. She was able to relieve much tension from my neck, cranium and entire body. I hope I’ll be able to see her again!

“I saw Brooke after having intense vertigo for several days. Never experiencing vertigo before, I was alarmed to say the least. After my treatment, the vertigo disappeared and I quickly canceled the neurology appointment I had made. Brooke’s passion along with her knowledge and skill make her a top practitioner. I would highly recommend anyone to her care! "

Brooke is a very talented healer with a natural ability to find and release pain and tension in the body. She has helped me tremendously, and I would recommend her to anyone.

I’ve been working with Brooke for several years. She’s an incredible practitioner that knows the body unbelievably well. Cranial Sacral Therapy has been a lifesaver during my second pregnancy in releasing a lot of deep rooted pain. Her approach is so gentle yet so affective and couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She will continue to play an integral part during my pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. I’m so grateful I found her!

I've done plenty of bodywork and mind/body integration and Brooke is one of the best practitioners I've worked with. She was able to intuit and diagnose things that others had missed, and is incredibly empathetic in the way that she works through the things that arise in the session. It was clear she was able to integrate multiple practices of therapy and bodywork to create something that was specific and individualized to my experience. Cannot recommend more highly.

Absolutely love Brooke, I have dealt with chronic back pain from sports injuries and emotional stress associated with this body pain and her practice has really helped me.

Brooke is a true healer. She is more magician than health practitioner. She has amazing intuition about what is going on with the body and I so look forward to each and every session with Brooke. She's amazing.
