Meet Tanya Pratkelis

With over three decades of experience as a massage therapist and more than two decades specializing in Craniosacral therapy, Tanya Pratkelis is a seasoned expert in holistic healing. Her journey began under the mentorship of the Edgar Cayce Institute, where she immersed herself in meditation, energy work, and diverse massage techniques from a young age. Growing up in New Mexico, she honed her skills further by collaborating closely with the medicine people of the Navajo tribe, learning their shamanic methods and herbal treatments.

Seeking to expand her knowledge, Tanya pursued formal education at the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado, delving into advanced massage methods beyond those taught by Edgar Cayce. Over 20 years ago, she embarked on a transformative path with the Upledger Institute, initially exploring Craniosacral therapy to alleviate her own debilitating migraine headaches. This profound experience sparked her passion for Craniosacral therapy, motivating her to become a dedicated practitioner.

Tanya possesses extensive expertise in Craniosacral therapy, including specialized training in Somatoemotional release and Craniosacral Brainwork. Her commitment to holistic wellness and her depth of knowledge make her a trusted guide on the journey to physical and emotional healing.
