Crystal Dossman, RCST

Biodynamic Craniosacral/RCTP/Emotion Code Practitioner

Crystal Dossman is the kind of healer who has been down that long and winding road. After experiencing severe physical and emotional trauma, she was diagnosed with a large brain tumor and Fibromyalgia. After the tumor was removed, she found herself no longer able to read, write, communicate easily, and walk unassisted while raising a newborn alone.

Crystal searched for relief and healing with skilled medical professionals and healers trained in many modalities. She finally began to transform after receiving Emotion Code Therapy and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Combined she experienced relief from chronic pain, reduced fatigue and anxiety, and improvement of focus, cognition, confidence, and joy. Her own ‘against all odds’ transformation inspired Crystal to learn, master, and share these same tools and practices with her clients.

Crystal supports her clients in shifting from states of chronic pain, emotional dysregulation, and survival mode to reimagining, awakening, and reliably generating new levels of thriving, well-being, and joy. To schedule an appoint with Crystal or book a session, please call (530) 205-0039 or email at Crystaldossman@outlook.com.
