Onyx Uriarte

RMT, Specializing in craniosacral therapy

 

Onyx Uriarte is a graduate (with honors) from Kikkawa College in Massage Therapy, and a long standing experienced therapist. On her own healing journey Onyx became interested in learning more about the human energy field, which led to her exploration of Reiki healing.  In 1996 Onyx completed Reiki I/II along with a certification in Expressive Art Therapy from ISIS- Canada. As an Expressive Art Therapist Onyx developed both professionally and personally working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), autism and emotional/mental imbalances.  Simultaneously with this work, Onyx studied for five years in Egyptian and Celtic healing traditions.  Since then her repertoire of work has grown to also include the energetic studies of Reconnective healing, and Thai yoga massage.

In 1998, Onyx began to include craniosacral therapy in her work and has since seen clients respond by receiving deep relaxation and new insights from the internal shifts made via their body's craniosacral system. A parent of an autistic client receiving treatment from Onyx noted  that her son was now progressing through developmental stages with craniosacral therapy. Encouraged by the successful responses to craniosacral therapy, Onyx has continued to deepen her knowledge of this therapy to include several study levels, including craniosacral therapy for pediatrics.  On many occasions she has also teacher assisted for the Cranial Therapy Centre. The gentle unwinding of tension from the body's tissues by craniosacral therapy makes it a beneficial support to Onyx's massage practice, and to the chiropractic care available here at Vita Integrative Health Clinic. Onyx has been a therapist at Vita for a year now and is delighted to continue on as part of Vita's therapeutic team.

Patient Testimonials:

"Before I came to Onyx, I experienced great discomfort with PMS migraine, headaches, neck/shoulder pain and eye strain.  After a few sessions with Onyx's craniosacral therapy, I have seen great improvement on my overall health and wellness.  Onyx is one of the most caring, supportive and enthusiastic therapist I've encountered.  Her treatments are relaxing and therapeutic to both the body and mind.  Thank you Onyx!"

" My experience with Craniosacral therapy has been wonderful.  Before seeing Onyx I would always be tense around the neck and shoulder area which would then lead to lower back pain. After the first visit my body felt a huge release. I was in a car accident 15 years ago and the trauma from this had caused some emotional tension which I may not have been aware of but my subconscious was aware and never forgot.  After a few visits I started seeing changes within my body.  Thank you Onyx, for allowing me to be more aware of what my body needs!"
