Community Highlights: Meet Gloria Flores of Craniosal Care

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gloria Flores.

Hi Gloria, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I began studying Craniosacral Therapy almost 20 years ago after I recovered from surgery for endometrial cancer. I realized that life is short and I wanted to do something worthwhile with whatever time I had left. It was one of the best decisions of my life. This modality has allowed me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of so many people, from those suffering from HIV/AIDS, Military Veterans with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries, and people with addictions and physical and emotional illness.

After studying and practicing this modality for only a year I had helped people find relief from so many conditions that I continued my studies with the Upledger Institute and am now a Diplomate Certified practitioner, a Certified Mentor, a Certification Examiner and I teach Craniosacral Therapy to parents, caregivers and the public.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Like anything in life, it has not been a smooth road getting to where I am today in my career. I struggled with getting my business off the ground, so I looked for volunteer opportunities so that I could get as much practice with this modality as possible.

I struggled with proving myself so that I could become a certified Craniosacral Therapy Workshop Presenter and Examiner, but I found that hard work, persistence, and patience were the only way to reach my goals.

As you know, we’re big fans of Craniosal Care. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance.

Every day our bodies endure stresses and strains, but the body can only endure so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten, and potentially compromise the function of our central nervous system and nearly every other system in our bodies.

CST releases those tensions and allows the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a 5-gram gentle touch practitioners evaluate for strain patterns and use distinctive light-touch techniques to release these.

I specialize in Craniosacral Therapy and my clients constantly recommend me to others because of the results they get. I think what sets me apart from other practitioners is my passion for my work. I also dedicate one day a month to volunteering giving complimentary sessions to women with cancer.

What do you think about happiness?
Meeting and interacting with people makes me happy. My profession allows me to do that every day.

Of course, my family makes me happy, especially my grandchildren. And my fiance gives me great joy and brings with him a built-in expanded family that I look forward to being part of.
