About Gail

Gail Bernson, owner of In Touch Craniosacral Therapy and Massage in Westport, Ct., has been a licensed massage therapist since 2002.  She studied massage therapy after completing a master's degree from the University of Connecticut where she studied Ecological Psychology, a branch of Experimental Psychology that identifies natural laws governing perception and action.  In graduate school she developed a geometry of how the body self organizes, developed applied techniques for sensory-motor integration to improve posture and coordination. Gail is both an intellectual and an intuitive. She chose massage and body work as the license to continue her work.  

Massage was the way in to the fascinating truth of how information is stored in the body. Captivated by this truth, she directed her focus to study how the physical tissue of the body holds physical, emotional, and mental stress.  Why it is held there, how it effects dysfunction, and how to release it.  She has spent the past 20 years developing an understanding of the whole body.  Gail continues her study in science and has expanding her expertise in stress and trauma. Gail has a welcoming openness and flexibility to meet people exactly where they are comfortable.

 My sensitivity allows me to experience continuous information about how your muscles and fascia are responding. I sense when releases occur, when they follow along your meridians, when they hold emotional components, and more. I can feel the body harmonize as the body shifts into balance. It's very safe, no matter the issue; your body knows which releases will benefit you at any given session.  My confidence comes from my ability to listen to your body.
