Nina F. Davis

I earned my Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas in 1986. I continued in this field for the next nine years as a case-manager for adults with acquired brain trauma, assisting them transition from rehabilitation back into their everyday lives.

Brain trauma rehabilitation was a gateway to my understanding what I truly wanted to do. In 1995, I become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I quickly realized my desire to continue to specialize my education and began to study Craniosacral Therapy, initially studying with the Upledger Institute.

In 1999, a close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer and told that she would develop lymphedema due to the large number of node excisions. To learn ways to assist my friend, I expanded my treatment repertoire by studying Lymphatic Drainage Therapy training with Dr. Bruno Chikly. Post-surgery, I was able to use lymphatic techniques and assist her body to efficiently re-route lymph flow patterns. After my initial training, I continued to study with Dr. Chikly in his advanced lymphatic curriculum.

Also in 1999, I began working with pediatric craniosacral clients. In recognition of my work in this domain, I am honored to have received the Austin Mother Friendly Birth Award as Best Infant Therapist in its first two years of existence.

In 2008 – 2010, I participated in an intensive training program through the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Foundation, taught by John Chitty of the Colorado School of Energy Studies. I now practice from this foundation of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

In my practice, I attempt to integrate the various formal trainings and what I have learned from my clients. I remain dedicated to continually participating in advanced education, thereby staying in touch with the Mystery that keeps my work fresh and on the leading edge of holistic thought.

I have a desire to work with people who want to learn and grow. People who realize that we get out of treatments what we are open to; people who are ready to ask for openings to this growth.
