Welcome to Origin.

My name is Liliana Franz. I am a registered Dental Hygienist, Craniosacral Therapist, Therapist of Chinese Energetic Medicine and Certified Qigong instructor.

I have a lot of reverence for the orofacial complex. It holds the enormous responsibility of being the place where we breathe, eat, smile, laugh, sing, speak our truths, and respond to our world. It holds a lot of responsibility and often a lot of tension. I understand the need for care for these issues and I understand them from a Western as well as an Eastern Medicine viewpoint. I continue to expand my knowledge in providing care for issues around TMJ, post orofacial surgery, pre/post orthodontia, difficulty in performing natural orofacial functions, freeing the voice as well as avenues of expression.

I love the rest of the body too, and believe Craniosacral Therapy to be such an overall effective modality for acute and chronic issues, as well as maintaining good health.

I have since a young age relied on the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine. It has been my preferred medicine for anything physical, emotional, and chemical. I am a student of the poetic expression of how our human bodies mirror the microcosm of the universal macrocosm. That we can always understand ourselves better through nature and live harmoniously with its changes. Both Chinese Energetic Medicine and Craniosacral Therapy pair beautifully and complementary to one another. I believe deeply in these forms of medicine because I have healed from them time and time again. I have so much reverence to the miracle of healing and the innate desire and capability of the human body, mind and spirit, to do so.
