I offer gentle, non-invasive, hands-on sessions on table. This modality helps the body find balance and its inherent self-healing capacity. Using a very light touch, I listen to the subtle rhythms and movements of your body, or tidal forces. By attuning to these rhythms, I create a supportive space for your nervous system to down-regulate and for your body to let go and release areas of tension. The process is deeply restful.
Unlike massage or chiropractic treatment, which often involve more direct manipulation, this modality is exceptionally gentle. The focus is not on "fixing" a problem but on creating a container for the body to heal itself. Unlike talk therapy, we don't need to analyze or discuss the story of your pain. We simply listen to your body's wisdom, allowing stored tension and emotional trauma to resolve in a safe and supportive way.
My practice is rooted in a deep respect for your body's unique story and its ability to move towards health and healing. While my foundation is in professional training, my approach is highly intuitive and guided by the specific needs that arise in each session. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I also bring a specialized understanding of the nervous system and how to gently support the body in releasing trauma, which beautifully complements the subtle work of Dynamic Expansion Cranio. I also bring my own long history of meditation to my practice.

Craniosacral therapy helps to resolve stress and tension that has accumulated in the body due to physical injury, emotional trauma, or life's everyday pressures. By gently supporting the body, it can alleviate a wide range of issues, including headaches, migraines, chronic neck and back pain, stress, and anxiety. Clients often report a sense of deep relaxation, improved sleep, and a greater connection to their physical and emotional self. It helps integrate the ups and downs of life.
Dynamic Expansion Cranio is for anyone seeking deep rest and a restoration of their vitality. It is often sought out by those experiencing chronic pain, migraines, TMJ, and nervous system dysregulation. It is also gentle enough to be profoundly helpful for anyone recovering from accidents, surgeries, or emotional distress.

Sessions are around 50 minutes long. You can also choose to book a combined session of 100 minutes, blending 50 minutes of Somatic Experiencing with 50 minutes of craniosacral therapy for a more comprehensive experience. However, please email me first at coralshort@gmail.com if we haven’t done an SE session together before.
All of my sessions are held at my office at 7755 Boul. Saint-Laurent #200, Montréal, Québec. It is across the street from Jarry Park, and near two metro stations: 7 min walk from Metro Castelnau and 14 min walk from Metro Jarry.
Click the button at the top of this page. It will take you to my Calendly booking page.
You can share what's going on with your body, mind, and spirit during our first session together. However, we will only speak for 5-10 minutes as craniosacral therapy involves quiet, internal balancing work.
Comfort is key for a pleasant experience. Please wear loose, soft clothing that allows easy movement—think sweatpants, or leggings with a comfortable top.
Avoid items with bulky seams, buttons, or zippers (like jeans) that could press uncomfortably into your skin while lying down.
Please wear cozy socks and remove all watches and jewelry before we begin.

For Canadian clients, I prefer payment via e-transfer. Cash is also fine. For visiting international clients, I only accept PayPal or cash.
My rates are Pay What You Can on a $30 - $70 sliding scale until I obtain my certificate. Please e-transfer before the session if you can!
If needed I can provide you with a digital invoice for your records.
For cancellations or rescheduling, please use your Calendly booking link in your confirmation email—it's the easiest way to manage changes and helps me keep track of availability without a receptionist.
I require a minimum of 24 hours' notice for all cancellations. Any cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will be subject to $30 fee.
Refunds are not provided for services rendered.
