Both CranioSacral Therapy and Somatic Experiencing are holistic therapeutic approaches that incorporate a person's mind, body, spirit, and emotions in the healing process. They are non-invasive modalities that encourage regulation and resilience at any age. Addressing a wide range of conditions, this unique combination can help recover from trauma and manage stress. Both CST and SE are an alternative approach that has been increasingly used as a preventative self-care measure, or to help alleviate acute symptoms, and can be used in complement of traditional allopathic medicine. CST is a hand-on therapy that notoriously comes from Osteopathy, a form of alternative medicine developed in the 1800's in the U.S. CST uses a light touch to help release tension patterns in the body. It promotes deep relaxation, helps the body's innate self-healing capacity, helps down-regulate the nervous system to encourage health improvements. Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress disorders. Supported by research, SE was developed by psychologist Dr. Peter Levine, after he observed animals in the wild, and their capacity to innately shake traumatic events off their nervous system. SE is a practice inspired by nature, learning and understanding another way of responding to threat and survival. This therapeutic method employs awareness of body sensations to help people resolve unprocessed trauma gradually, organically, and safely in the body.

Emma deserves more than 5 stars.
Emma is truly one of the most remarkable and nurturing healers I have had the opportunity to work with!
I first came to see Emma during the time when my Thyroid Eye Disease had progressed and I was experiencing excruciating pain and discomfort in my eyes, temples and skull. After speaking with Emma over the phone and learning more about the art of Craniosacral Therapy, my gut told me to trust this.
Leading up to my first session, I was experiencing what was one of the worst pressure pains in my temples that had been consistent for nearly two weeks. After my first session with Emma, that pain disappeared and I haven't had a headache since. It's been nearly 2 years now!
I started seeing Emma week after week and throughout Tepezza treatment to address the effects of Thyroid Eye Disease. And week after week I could feel the pressure melt away and Emma could even feel the inflammation begin to dissipate.
I now see Emma every few months for a tune up session and it's the best meditative hour I could ever ask for. She has the most incredible touch, energy, her voice is so calm and soothing and I really feel like I am in a healing vortex when I enter her space.
If you're at all curious about CST, hesitant to give it a try - I say go for it and gift yourself this incredible experience. And if you have the privilege of having Emma as your healer, know that you're in the best hands possible.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ely Q.North Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA236181May 24, 2022Updated review
i decided to write another review after my latest visit to emma this morning. its too bad more people don't know about cranio sacral therapy, because it is exactly what the world needs now. as humans, we hold our body into positions, cramps really, because of tension in the mind. and in the caring presence of emma and her healing hands and energy, my body is able to unwind and release tension i've held unconsciously all my life. i experience significant insights related to the areas on my body that emma is holding at that moment. and as such, my body starts releasing these unconscious holding patterns. its beyond marvelous. i can't wait for my next appt in june. emma is a gift. this is essential work.

Feb 25, 2016Previous reviewi had a cranialsacral session with emma one week ago. i let her know before she started that i have suffered lower back issues for several years. its difficult to describe the experience but it was so good that i very much wanted to write a review and find the words. it felt to me like very subtle manipulations of my muscles, joints, the plates in my head, and from what i understand the fluids in my body as well.
i felt deeply comforted. as if i was being held in a way that allowed my body to relax and unwind in a way that it rarely can. as such, by halfway through the session i felt energetically high - not in a drugged way, but like a field of light had plugged into me and was now pouring through me. i actually sensed, or saw, light moving about me even though my eyes were closed. and something about being filled with and surrounded by this light is what made me feel high and very good.
upon completion of the session and thereafter, my back felt so much better - as if i'd just come from the chiropractor. that relief, in addition to the energetic high, "sold" me on not just cranialsacral therapy, but emma julaud's natural gift. i am certain that it was not only her specific cranialsacral therapeutic skill that benefitted me, but her level of consciousness from which she held such a healing, safe, and supportive space for me.
i am in the process of scheduling another session with her in march and plan to continue working her. i cannot recommend her enough. - Ashley M.Los Angeles, CA073Nov 23, 2021
Emma is such a gifted healer! I have a handful of chronic conditions and when I get in a flare or feel out of alignment, I come to Emma. I always feel better after a session, I particularly note that my headaches improve and also my nervous system calms down. I feel like she puts my body back into a healthy flow. Not only is she skilled, but she is also compassionate and has a very calming nature to her. I love the way I feel after a session, physically and mentally. I highly recommend her.

I had no idea what CST was when I went into my first session with Emma, but I was feeling utterly stressed and overwhelmed and with a terrible, shooting pain in my shoulder that stretched up to my neck. The light touch CST that Emma used to work on my entire nervous system, as well as the localized pain, brought such deep relief, on both a physical and spiritual level. I left feeling completely better, totally relaxed and without pain.
Emma is kind and gentle, but she also works with a focused intensity that is nothing short of magical. She understands the workings of the physical body - the fascia and musculature, etc. - and she pairs this knowledge with brief questions that are intuitive, insightful, and healing questions that allow for relief for the body as well as the mind.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Laura K.NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA09Jun 21, 2019
I went to Emma after having major surgery and was experiencing tinnitus. I had seen some positive reviews and thought it was worth a try. CST was new to me. Since there are many causes of tinnitus she let me know before starting that CST may or may not help. I did notice small improvements with the tinnitus, but absolutely amazing results with overall healing and feeling better. My inflammation even went down following my first treatment.
Emma made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her. It was clear she was a healer and wanted me to feel better. She did! I would highly recommend CST and especially Emma Julaud.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - John S.Woodland Hills, CA04Sep 26, 2017
The CranioSacral Therapy session(s) with Emma were AMAZING. I have had several years of lower back tightness, stress in my neck and shoulders and with Emma's calming sessions she was able to get me all squared away. I feel more centered and no back pain or stress. It only took 3 sessions of about an hour and weeks later I am still feeling Fantastic. Thank you Emma for getting my mind, spine and body back on the same page.

I've suffered from chronic migraines since I was 10 years old. For years, I had migraines that would last weeks on end. I tried everything but I didn't realize relief until I met Emma. I've now been going to her regularly for over a year and I just can't speak highly enough of her expertise. Rather than getting a migraine almost daily, I now get about 2 a month and they are much shorter and less severe than the ones I had before! I would recommend anyone with migraines (or TMJ) to give her a try. What do you have to lose (other than maybe some excruciating pain)?

My first CST visit with Emma was back in 2014 for knee pain. When I went to see Emma the first time for a CST session she took the time to explain what the session would entail and how it might help me. Her light touch and free flowing energy was instantly felt almost like a warm touch. As soon as I sat up and got off the massage table the pain was gone.
Fast forward 6 months later I started to have severe back pain which I went to see my chiropractor for an adjustment. I mentioned to him I had a CST appointment recently and had a really good experience with it. He mentioned to me this was a great combination of treatments.
I have now been to Emma on and off for various things over the past few years and will continue to see her for any further CST needs, not to mention her personality and easygoingness is delightful and makes for a comfortable environment.
I truly believe this form of non-invasive hands on therapy has helped me with several different ailments.
Her practice also is centrally located which makes it very convenient for me.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gina C.Blue Point, NY39373May 24, 2017
I can't say enough about Emma she has changed my life! When I went to her I was 100% deaf in my left ear and had horrible tinnitus. I had this for 5 years. I went to Emma for about 9 months. Throughout that time all of the tinnitus was completely gone and I had significantly got a majority of my hearing back. I went for my ear and she really helped me however she helped me in for more ways! She become a friend who really took the time out to listen to me and taught me how to listen to my body. Now I am able to hear and understand my body to stop problems before they arise. I can't say enough about how amazing Emma is!
