I feel so grateful to have found Deborah at Inherent Wellness after moving here -- as a bodywork practitioner starting my own business in this area, it meant a lot to find someone whose work I genuinely trust. She's not only an incredibly skilled craniosacral therapist, but has also become a mentor to me. Her work is powerful in a way that's both subtle and transformative, and you can tell she has a wide range of knowledge and experience behind what she does. Every session feels intentional, intuitive, and grounded. Her space is beautiful, clean, and calming, making it easy to fully relax and receive. If you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and deeply cares about their clients, I can't recommend Deborah enough. read more

Deborah has the most amazing gift of knowing how to heal your body. I suffered from chronic headaches for over a year and was convinced by my neurologist that I had migraines. The prescribed medication would never give me any relief. During my first appointment with Deborah she quickly found the root cause. In just two sessions, my problem was resolved and and I am now headache free. Deborah has also helped me with neck pain, lower back pain, sciatica pain, and the list goes on. At each appointment, she will "listen" to my body and know where it needs help. She has actually improved my posture and I'm standing taller now. Deborah is absolutely amazing and her magical gift has forever changed the quality of my life. I am so grateful to have found her! read more

Deborah is not only a skilled practitioner, but one of the most sweet, kind and compassionate souls I have come across in my entire life. I have been seeing her for years now for "incurable" (I quote it because I refuse to accept that) chronic conditions that caused extreme disability before I sought assistance from craniosacral therapy. Prior to Deborah, I have only had craniosacral with one other practitioner - who exhibited some behaviour that made me uncomfortable, so I searched for a new practitioner and found Deborah. As soon as I step into her office, I feel comforted, warmed and at peace. We spend a few minutes catching up on my current symptoms (as what prevails shifts day by day), discussing areas of extreme pain, and emotional toll that may impact my physical disorders then we get started. Deborah's skill at knowing exactly where to work, simply by reading the rhythms in the body is jaw dropping shocking to me. There are times I fail to mention hot spots, due to becoming so accustomed to the pain, yet she knows to go right to that spot. She masterfully combines the practice of craniosacral with massage and effectively releases areas of severe stiffness, pain, and spams. Among my 21 diagnosis, I suffered from stage iv/end stage endometriosis (which I was told last year became a terminal situation it is so bad - also thought of as the "mother" illness), MS, myofascial pain syndrome, adenomyosis and more. Deborah is able to also manually manipulate lesions in my colon, kidney, gallbladder and other areas damaged by endometriosis to help my organs function more properly. I credit Deborah's work with one of the 5 things keeping me out of a wheelchair and aiding in lessoning catastrophic pain. Deborah is truly a best in class (for alternative therapies) practitioner. Highly recommended. Be well and heal ～(^^)- read more

I had my second session with Deborah today, and I am again totally blown away by her intuition and talent! It is absolutely incredible how in tune she can get with what is going on with a client. I experienced such powerful releases of blockages as she worked on me, and feel the flow of energy being restored throughout my system. She has so much experience and knowledge, but their is something so extraordinary and unique about her gift beyond that. I lack the words to do it justice, but to me her healing ability really quite magical. And she is so genuinely devoted to helping people feel better - such an authentically lovely soul. I feel so very grateful to have found her - she is a true treasure and has definitely earned my sincerest recommendation! read more

Deborah has been an integral part of my health journey and I am SO incredibly grateful to have found her. After suffering from severe chronic health issues that ultimately ended in surgery, my physician suggested I begin visceral manipulation massage to help combat some of my symptoms that had not improved after my procedure. After several sessions with Deborah, I have, for the first time in two years, begun to feel like my old self. My symptoms and health issues had been debilitating and after working with Deborah consistently, I am finally back to a stable state with my health. I cannot recommend Deborah enough, she is incredibly intuitive and skilled with her practice and truly seems to care deeply for everyone she works with. read more

From start to finish this was an amazing experience! I was not sure what to expect but between the excellent information and gentle healing touch I received from Deborah I can honestly say it was one of the very best experiences I've had while exploring recovery avenues since my accident. I felt shifts in flow and energy as well as a clearing and unblocking in my head and neck. Deborah is a very gifted and knowledgeable healer! I'll definitely be back. read more

I really notice a difference in my body after getting treatments from Deborah. My body gets to re-set and find that inherent healing potential with each session. Deborah has been doing bodywork for nearly twenty years and it shows in her skills, her touch, her ability to deeply listen, and in the outcome of her treatments. The cranial and visceral are a language that my body understands in areas where western medicine has been ineffective. Highly recommend her!! read more

I have been seeing Deborah Ortiz for craniosacral therapy for over six months and started off with weekly sessions. She is one of the most-effective practitioners I've ever worked with. Deborah knows very well how to read the body's craniosacral rhythm, which I recently learned about. Deborah works intuitively while using a specific process, to facilitate bringing the body back into a calm, relaxed and self-healing state. I experienced tremendous relief from multiple symptoms of stress. I also gained a deep state of relaxation, peace and harmony within myself. She helped me a great deal. I honestly feel that Deborah has a gift. She is someone I trust and will continue working with. I believe this modality is the most effective, gentle, non-invasive work I've experienced in 17 years. read more

I have had the opportunity to have received cranial sacral massage/ bodywork from Deborah Ortiz for several sessions. I have been so impressed by her demeanor, her kind way of interacting, and the intuitive gift she uses along with the skill of using the cranial sacral body work. She says that she listens to the body, and I can attest to how incredibly well she does that. I have had great relief from IBS symptoms, migraine headaches, pain and muscle tension from receiving treatments from her. I highly recommend her, and hop that you have the opportunity to receive cranial sacral body work from her. read more
