Cranialsacral Therapist James Nemec introduces us to a gentle and calming hands-on therapy which goes beyond the reach of traditional medicine. “Our bodies tell stories, whether we are aware of it or not. The body, not just the mind, has stories to tell.”
 Although doctors and hospitals are highly equipped and trained to handle real emergencies such as acute appendicitis, gunshot wound, cerebral hemorrhage, fresh fracture, and transplants, we learn in Journeys: Stories Our Bodies Can Tell that a craniosacral therapist most often takes on those patients/clients that doctors and hospitals simply have given up on, and those lost in the medical gamut.
 “Craniosacral Therapy works, and one reason it works so well is because it also allows the possibility of an emotional component -- a badly needed, but missing ingredient in our healthcare. This 'missing ingredient' forms the substance of the stories in Journeys. What happens when we address the whole person, not just separate parts? “Our doctors are very good at seeing only the tree, for example, in all of its details and parts, but not so good at seeing the environment around the tree or that it is planted in the earth or that there is a water source nearby and sky and sunlight overhead.”
 Rather than as the developer of a new approach to bodywork, Nemec considers his role as that of a scribe of what can happen at these deeper levels of being, levels where it doesn't matter what the modality or approach is called.

 James Nemec, originally from South Florida, is a published poet and award winning playwright. He has worked with people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, as a licensed massage therapist and certified Craniosacral Therapist for more than 17 years. An innovator in his field, the Harvard Coop notes, “Nemec is celebrated for his ability to combine science and intuition to heal those previously beyond help.”
