Thank You for CranioSacral Therapy

Dear Shmuel and the team of therapists of CHI,

We just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the great help you have given our son, Ashriel.

As you know, we recently moved from Sederot to the Jerusalem area, mostly due to the effect the barrage of rocket attacks was having on Ashi. The rockets caused him to go into a state of panic, of shock, and sometimes he was so traumatized that he couldn’t move. At other times, he used to climb on our laps and shake uncontrolably for half an hour. He would refuse to eat, talk, or even move for long periods of time. Ashi was always delayed in his language development and social skills, but the stress caused him to regress and stifled his development even more.

By the time Daniel Tarlow contacted us and told us about your program, we had moved out of Sederot. Ashi’s language development was 3 years behind age level and his social development was not much better. Loud noises, popping tires and baloons, and any siren caused him to panic. We were searching for help from varied professionals; no advice was particularly helpful. Although we weren’t overly knowledgeable in cranio-sacral therapy, Mr. Tarlow was so kind and friendly, he convinced us there was no risk, and so we agreed to try it, even though, honestly, it sounded a bit weird.

After two full day sessions of CST, we immediately saw positive changes. Ashriel seemed significantly happier, much more relaxed, definitely more cooperative. Changes in routine, new places, and new sounds no longer caused him great stress. He became a bit more talkative and even began to interact a bit with some other children. His language has improved. And, mysteriously, when he is upset about something, he goes into a headstand, which calms him down. Maybe he is giving himself CST? Ashriel’s language has also boomed and he is now only 1.5 years behind age-level. He is enrolled in a special education preschool four days a week and attends the local preschool for mainstreaming another two days. While clearly lagging in linguistic and social skills, Ashriel seems to be significantly calmer, more easygoing, and more emotionally healthy than he was before your treatments.

Thank you very, very much for all of the warmth, kindness, and genuine help that you have given Ashi and, by extension, the entire Norin family. We only wish that our many brothers and sisters back in Sederot whose children also suffered as a result of the rocket attacks knew of and used your wonderful team of helpers.

May G-d soon bring a true, lasting peace to the middle east and make the world into a place where children do not have to live in the smoke of rocket fire, Until then, we are lucky that your team is able and ready to help.

Thank You Very Much.

Sincerely,

Avraham and Natasha Norin
