About the practitioner

The name 'Rahima' was given to me by my Sufi spiritual guide Sidi Al Jamal and means 'mercy'.  My soul carries a special spiritual quality of mercy and divine healing, which is what the world needs so I've been told. A curiousity and love for the divine has prompted me to explore my gifts as they are expressed through craniosacral therapy and healing arts over the last 24 years.

Professionally, I am a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (RCST®) with many years of experience with helping people gain physical, emotional, and spiritual improvement through a combination of biodynamic craniosacral therapy, therapeutic bodywork, polarity, ThetaHealing®, and Sufi spiritual healing. My formal training in advanced Craniosacral techniques, trauma resolution, working with babies, pregnancy, and perinatal imprints, and in the spiritual healing arts gives me a wide toolkit to work from. In private practice since 2002, I offer a safe, gentle, and trusting space for healing to happen naturally often in the most subtle way and at times quite profoundly. I help your body realign to its innate wisdom to heal. I believe in miracles and that ultimately God is the Healer.    

I see clients in Napa and via zoom/phone, by appointment.
