Craniosacral Therapy & Energy Healing
Unlock your body's innate capacity for healing
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Energy Healing are gentle, non-invasive somatic modalities that support the body’s innate capacity to heal. These meditative approaches bridge the mind–body connection by working with the nervous system, subtle rhythms, and energetic pathways of the body. Sessions create a deeply supportive space for release, regulation, and restoration—inviting balance on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Physical Support
These therapies work directly with the body to relieve pain, support healing, and improve overall physical wellbeing.
* Relief from chronic pain (neck, back, shoulders, hips, jaw/TMJ)
* Ease from migraines and headaches
* Injury recovery (whiplash, concussion, surgery support)
* Digestive comfort (IBS, bloating, nervous stomach)
* Sinus and ear relief (congestion, tinnitus)
* Women’s health support (menstrual cycles, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum)
* Sleep improvement and deep rest
* Gentle support for neurological conditions (always complementary to medical care)
Emotional & Mental Wellbeing
CST and Energy Healing help calm the mind, regulate emotions, and support mental clarity and resilience.

* Injury recovery and pain relief (mobility issues, surgery recovery)

A Gentle Reminder
These therapies are not a replacement for medical care, but they offer powerful complementary support. Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, more connected, and deeply at peace after a session.
Wherever you are on life’s journey — in growth, in change, in healing, or in letting go — these sessions offer a safe space to release, and reconnect with your deepest self.
About Paulina Esmeralda
My path to healing has always been driven by a relentless curiosity about the human experience. With a background in Anthropology and Psychology, I spent years studying the structures of our societies and the inner workings of our minds. However, it was through years of severe illness and being on the edge of death that awakened me to what textbooks could not— the body holds a profound wisdom that the intellect cannot always reach.
Today, my work at Alchemy by Esmeralda is the culmination of those two worlds. I am a Craniosacral Therapist and Energy Healer who works with the subtle currents of the body, mind, and spirit. I combine the understanding of the nervous system with the ancient, symbolic language of the subconscious. Through somatic and energy work, I help you navigate your own "full circle" journey, moving from the noise of the mind back into the truth of the body. It is about opening a doorway into the energetic flow that guides how you inhabit your body, process your feelings, and move through the world.
Since my certification in 2023, I have been dedicated to holding space for individuals to reconnect with their own innate healing wisdom. I am especially drawn to the liminal, in-between spaces of growth and identity—most notably adolescence and end-of-life care. Supporting those approaching life’s final passage with dignity and a sense of peace is a sacred honor. As an ordained minister, I bring a rooted, ethical presence to these profound thresholds. Both the beginning and the end reveal the deeper rhythms of transition, and I meet these moments with gentleness and presence.
I am a deeply intuitive and empathic healer. I sense where tension, stagnation, or imbalance resides, and I guide the body and spirit toward release, alignment, and wholeness. I help illuminate the subtle threads of energy and awareness that often go unnoticed, assisting clients in accessing deeper clarity, expanded presence, and their full potential.
I spent years teaching adolescents for the Department of Defense in Japan, as well as students in Colorado, and California. Through a lifelong love of learning, travel, art, and human connection, I bring both grounded understanding and a deep reverence for the unseen. Each session is an invitation to step into the quiet magic of your own being.
What to Expect & What to Wear
Sessions are gentle, intuitive, and guided by your body’s unique rhythms and needs in the moment. You will rest comfortably on a massage table and remain fully clothed throughout the session. Using light touch and attentive presence, I work with the craniosacral system, nervous system, and energetic field to support regulation, release, and integration.
Many clients experience a deep state of relaxation, similar to meditation or a dreamlike awareness. Sensations may include warmth, subtle movement, emotional release, imagery, or a sense of spaciousness and clarity. Some people notice immediate shifts, while others experience changes unfolding gradually in the days following a session. There is no right or wrong way to receive this work-- it is your body that leads. I follow with care, according to the rhythm of your unique healing process.
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to fully relax. Soft, breathable fabrics are ideal. Shoes are removed, and you may wish to avoid heavy jewelry, belts, or restrictive garments.
After the session, hydration, rest, and quiet time support integration and grounding.
