We all know, at this point, the mind and body are not separate. But traditional counseling is pretty much—mind . . . mind . . . mind . . .
With my work, I feel and release what’s going on in your body at the same time as we're talking. So you get to relax comfortably on a massage table (fully dressed) and receive bodywork—a big plus for most people! As I use energy medicine, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation and somatic healing to help explore and release whatever issues are up for you.
For example, I might release the tension in your abdomen as you’re talking about a big decision. Or aching around your heart, connected with a relationship. Or jaw pain as you try to release old patterns.
I also draw from my rich spiritual background and intuitive insights combined with my deep knowledge of the body and physiological systems, to move though things in a way that is fluid, fun and brings relief and lasting change.
"I interviewed several people when I was looking for some insight and chose Dr. Blaha without hesitation - so glad to have found her. She is very personable, and right away I felt some release in a particular area of stress and anxiety for me. Later, when my mom passed away, she was amazing support. Dr. Blaha helps me find what I need, mentally, physically, and spiritually in a very intuitive, holistic practice. Her guidance has aided me with positivity and humor while I make my way through many transitions in life."

The majority of clients need less sessions than they do with traditional counseling, saving time and money.
It’s also more relaxing, and I believe—fun! Even with extremely difficult situations, there can often be laughing and relief at the joy of letting things go or the absurdity of a situation. Most people feel better after each session.
I am also open to working on physical issues during a counseling session, and happy to share things I've learned and teach what I know during the sessions.
I work with adults to gain clarity and resolution around:
• Spiritual growth
• Life transitions
• Grounding, adaptation and positivity in the times of change
• Emotional impact of health concerns
• Relationship and family issues
• Work stress or transition
• Loss of a loved one/terminal illness
• Letting go of physical and emotional trauma
• Health issues, especially complex ones that aren't resolving with traditional care
• I also specialize in helping the helpers and see several therapists, mental health professionals, nurses, ND's, MD's etc.
(I do not work with addiction or people struggling with suicide.)

Advantages of counseling combined with bodywork
"Doctor Blaha is incredibly talented in so many ways. She's very intuitive, empathetic and caring and she has an amazing ability to figure out what is most helpful for that time. She is also especially gifted at seeing things from a completely different point of view which really helps give you a new perspective. I also love that she does cranial sacral and she is able to make minor adjustments that make a big difference throughout the body. I highly recommend her!"
