I am a manual therapist specializing in Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy, and integrative therapeutic massage. I use gentle, targeted, osteopathic techniques to relieve restriction within and around the internal organs, brain, nervous system, and vasculature, restoring healthy movement and function. By assisting the body in working through its internalized responses to physical and emotional trauma, I prioritize the often neglected root causes of chronic injury, illness, structural imbalance, and dysfunction. Sessions incorporate a balance of visceral, cranial, and musculoskeletal work, with the goal of restoring your body’s ability to adapt and heal on its own. I studied massage at the Northwest Academy of Healing Arts. I have studied Visceral Manipulation, Cranial Osteopathy, and related disciplines extensively with the Barral Institute, and serve as a teaching assistant in their VM curriculum. I spend my free time underneath a pile of books, or out exploring the urban environment, camera in hand. I also play saxophones, ride bikes, and start more projects than I’ll ever finish. I live and work in Pasadena. [wilsonshook.com](https://wilsonshook.com/)
A powerful blend of integrative massage techniques—including tissue manipulation, PNF stretching, neuromuscular re-education, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)—works to reset the body, rewire old patterns, and restore balance from the inside out. Using muscle testing, the provider taps into the body’s innate intelligence to identify the root causes of both physical and emotional imbalances, creating real transformation beyond symptomatic relief. This approach is especially helpful for chronic pain, acute injuries, tension, and calming an overstimulated nervous system.
