Holistic Housecalls - specialist in childbirth and trauma support
Thanks for visiting Sally Thomas, HHP & Doula
Herbalife Nutritional Coach CranioSacral/Visceral Therapist
Trauma Specialist
Holistic Housecalls is focused on providing exceptional, personalized holistic therapeutics, which truly "first, do no harm." My specialties, all natural, holistic offerings, effectively stimulate the body to self-correct, getting immediate results.  In the following description of my services offered, scroll down to the color-coded information that best describes your situation or need. Whether you are a pregnant mom, preparing for your upcoming birth,anathlete who is conditioning for the next performance, fine-tuning or recovering from a great effort, preparing for the next competition, or aMarine, injured in giving it all to protect the good old USA... my heart and mind are with you!
 
To assist you in easing this tranformative moment, and to help you maintain your focus, strength and goal, to be there for you alone, with total support is mutually rewarding!
While I provide physical, mental, emotional health support for my clients who are in the midst of a highly focused moment, my clients are the real healers, and can access their own "inner physician." When it is often common to need to feel "on your own, left alone, in the zone," to create, perform and produce, it also helps to have someone who is an expert facilitator. Being in a situation where everyone surrounding you is focused on an outcome that depends on you is really tough! In these intense instances, just being there for you, to hold a calm, reassuring space can make a difference throughout the intense performance challenges of an athlete, in support of a mother during or after childbirth, and after a tough military deployment, returning home. I do this with highly specialized therapeutic training as a Doula, Holistic Health Practitioner, CranioSacral Therapist, classical homeopathic consultant and Herbalife Wellness Coach. I offer natural, drug-free, non-invasive support options.
 
With a variety of offerings to choose from, traveling to wherever you need me to be, specifically designed to fit your particular needs,  I am sure you'll be happy working with me. Please feel free browse the website and if you have any comments or questions, contact me through this website, and we will go from there...I will get right back to you...I check my messages at least twice daily.

FOR MOMS AND NEWBORNS:
It is a great honor to work in support of your incredible, miraculous birthing experience! Your baby's journey through the birth process is designed to be your newborn's first CranioSacral therapeutic process, when the baby is pushed naturally through the birth canal, not pulled through the mother's womb and passageway. The birth canal is designed so that a passage through it may well mobilize each joint in the pelvis, between each vertabrae and all the joints/sutures of the skull. If the process does not happen normally, I am there immediately, to balance the membrane system, spinal cord nerve roots, and the skeletal muscle tone, which influences the vertebral and rib positioning...and this immediately has a marked effect on the babe's sucking, digestive, breathing, sleeping and nervous tension response. Likewise, I am there for the mom who has gone through a tough or prolonged labor, perhaps with  unexpected intervention, such as an emergency cesarean. Assisting with your newborn's sleep patterning and your "Happy Home Management," assisting in welcoming your newborn into the family, is a calling that has developed over the past 25 years, aimed at getting your family can get off to a great start!
 
FOR ATHLETES:
Each sport/athletic effort comes with it's particular problem patterns, which may develop from repetitive exertion. My own son was a hurdler/sprinter for 7 years, and was not once injured because of my regular releasing nervous system, connective tissue restrictions and tension patterns; that is, until he was "turned over" to so called experts in college. With only conventional conditioning, he developed grade-four stress fractures in both chins...you can imagine my anger at the PT's, trainers and physicians who ruined his track career! Fortunately, I was able to rehab him in 2 weeks, and he quit track, just short of ruining his body for the rest of his life. Now, he slack-lines, rock-climbs, mountain-bikes and is involved in mixed martial arts and salsa dancing :-D So it is on my heart to prevent and to correct sports injury patterns because I respect your effort to function at your very best!
 
Therapeutic benefits include:
  • increased neurological/quick twitch muscle response
  • Fascial integrity, skeletal alignment, joint decompression, extremities trauma release
  • Tension release, relaxation, improved sleep
  • performance enhancement, clearer thinking
  • mind/body/proprioceptive awareness
 
FOR MARINES:
My father was a Navy flight surgeon, my brother and uncles served in many wars, and my CranioSacral instructor, Dr. John Upledger, served in the Coast Guard as a neurosurgeon, later developing, with research for Vietnam War Vets, a special PTSD, TBI protocol. The advanced -level therapy that I offer, after working with thousands of clients since 1985, is geared to release residual effects, "energy cysts" that contain cellular memory of a past traumatic event, which continues to have physical/emotional triggers. Please also refer to the athletic benefits listed above in bullet points. This trama release work has shown dramatic results, and it is an honor to serve all military personnel and vets in this way. You are blessed and much appreciated for your service, for our great country! That is why I offer you my services at a reduced rate.
