Polarity Therapy

Polarity Therapy is a method of clearing and balancing life energy in order to promote health and healing. It is a “whole person” therapy that welcomes an individual on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Polarity can assist in unwinding trauma patterns, regulating the nervous system, and restoring a person’s vitality, or life force.

The founder of Polarity, Dr. Randolph Stone, was an osteopath, naturopath, and chiropractor who practiced medicine for more than 60 years. A spiritual seeker with a quest for the root causes of pain and disease, he also studied yoga and meditation, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine — so Polarity is a unique synthesis of healing principles from Eastern and Western philosophies.

As a form of complementary medicine, Polarity can provide powerful support during illness. Through talk and touch, nutrition and movement, it offers a safe, gentle, and compassionate space for coping with physical symptoms, and also for processing the life disruptions and losses that often accompany being sick.

Polarity is not physical therapy, psychotherapy, or massage, although at times it may feel like each of those modalities. It works with the body’s “prana,” “chi,” or subtle energy system — balancing the positive and negative charges or “poles” in the human bio field.

About My Clients

Often we find Polarity when something is out of balance in our lives. I have worked with clients dealing with: anxiety and depression, cancer, dementia, Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illnesses, musculoskeletal issues and injuries, sleep and hormone issues, grief and loss, life and work transitions, and more.

Most of my clients see me once a month, or every two weeks for more acute conditions. I also work with clients before or after major life events, such as pre and post-surgery, before labor and delivery, after travel/jet-lag, moving, or any other significant experience when a gentle “reset” is needed.

My clients report that Polarity brings them improvements in energy, confidence, motivation, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance. Many also experience a calming of physical pain and inflammatory symptoms, deep relaxation, and better sleep.

“ Kieran’s treatments have helped my entire system settle — bringing me from a stressed internal buzz, into a state of comforting stillness and ease. The changes I have noticed range from deeper sleep, to increased structural comfort, to feeling more in touch with my core self. Kieran has a gift for listening deeply, and then designing treatments around her ability to tune in below the surface chatter.”
