Meet Carolynn

Carolynn Thompson, LMT, CST,  ICT, D.o.N,  has been a manual therapist with a specialty in chronic pain for over 20 years. Her focus is to provide lasting relief to the wonderful clients who come to see her dealing with injury, pain and health issues that are complex or difficult to diagnose. 

She is the  founder of Integrated Cranial Health and the originator of Neural Palpation,  a touch based modality born from her meticulous study and hands on healing work with pain mitigation.

Carolynn offers online and in person sessions from her hometown of Sonora, CA, 

Due to the pandemic, her Bay Area office is closed until further notice.

What is Integrated Cranial Health?

Integrated Cranial Health is a chronic pain clinic and educational hub that focuses on relieving pain, stress and trauma through therapeutic, neurologically focused touch. 

Clients have the option to receive treatments in person or online. Online clients and students learn to provide effective manual therapy for themselves, their loved ones, clients, or community.

ICH works holistically and skillfully, giving room for the emotional and mental healing that takes place alongside the physical. 

We  work  to gently guide the whole system, rather than just one part, into a state of neurological harmony.

From here,  joy and ease are born 

Expand your knowledge 

Free/donation based classes are offered online throughout the year.  Each year the class explores a different topic. 

2021 is the Year of Organs!

Vagus Nerve ~ All We Swallow ~  February

Lungs ~ All We Breathe ~  March

Stomach ~ All We Digest ~ May

Intestines ~ All We Absorb ~ July

Kidneys ~ All We Gather ~ September

Colon ~ All We Let Go ~ October

Each class is 4 weeks long.  The first class explains the physical realities of the organ. Classes 2-4 cover the mental, emotional and spiritual connections to each organ. In each class you will develop a felt sense of nerve work while learning  the science of neurology.
