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 20 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 craniosacral therapy, therapeutic bodywork, somatic release, dialogue, BodyTalk, and EFT. 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.
