Cranial Practitioner Asheville NC | Cranial Sacral Massage Asheville
My name is Brian Loftin, and I practice a style of bodywork designed to relax and heal you, going deeper than most other forms of hands-on work, uncovering underlying causes, and empowering your body’s ability to respond to internal and external stresses: Elemental CranioSacral Work.
Elemental CranioSacral Work, Hypothalamic Reset Technique, Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Welcome! If you are reading this because you are ailing, in pain, feeling stuck inside, grieving, or otherwise looking to just feel better, I think you’ve come to the right place.
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS IN PRIVATE PRACTICE!
I have devoted more than 20 years to helping people heal their wounds and hurts, internal and external. Along the way, I’ve picked up a a few tools to help me, help others. Therapeutic massage, The Feldenkrais Method™, Visionary Craniosacral Work™, Hypothalamic Reset Technique™, Active Dreamwork, Visceral Manipulation with the Barrel Insitute, Clinical and Holistic Herbalism, certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, being a student of modalities which teach positional release work—I’m passionate about all of them, and I seek to seamlessly weave much of them together in new ways, to help you be the most fluid, limber, pain-free, and dynamic person you can be. I do this by allowing my hands to listen and unwind the best movements in your tissues, using my experience to inform my contacts and technique. When needed, and at your discretion, I can offer herbal supplementation during or after a session, to support our work further, thereby facilitating ongoing healing from within and with-out.
If you are looking for a therapist who understands the body, mind, spirit, and Nature (the matrix we exist in), then hopefully, I’m your man (and on the topic of gender, all are welcome here, regardless of how you identify in your body! I’m working with you, not what society thinks of you.)
Elemental CranioSacral Work™—my own fusion of my favorite modalities and experiences—is my life’s work and passion. There is nothing, aside from my wife and children, that I believe in more than this. My name is Brian Loftin, and I hope I have the honor of showing you just how beneficial this method can be for your ongoing health and happiness.

“There is something profound about working with Brian. It’s hard to describe in words what he “does,” but it’s more like who he is—and that presence allows me to find the healing journey for myself. There’s no ego, and I don’t feel like I’m going to be scolded for not doing exercises or told what or what not to eat. It’s bigger than that, but more challenging. He’s like a reflector, a bridge, and sometimes a guide, and I’m really grateful that he’s here.”
“Brian is what I call “solid”, which means he has professional training & his Intention of supporting your Healing is pure. He took the time to really listen to me about my headaches & ask questions about my underlying emotional issues. His place of practice is serene. I’d highly recommend you see Brian. He’s the real deal!”
“A west-coast friend of mine (who is an excellent massage therapist himself) recommended Brian to me after I was in a car accident. He told me Brian was HIS favorite massage therapist. I booked an appointment with Brian and was impressed by his professionalism and genuine care for my healing process. Brian asks questions to explore not only one’s physical symptoms, but the emotional and psychological aspects that may be underlying the pain or tension in one’s body. Brian is a deep listener; he listens to what is verbally said and he listens to the body itself, tuning in to its subtle messages and adapting his massage technique accordingly. He is gentle, respectful, and sensitive to clients’ comfort, checking in regularly throughout the session. His craniosacral work is deeply relaxing and I notice a clear difference in my body after a session with him. I have booked numerous appointments with Brian since.I also appreciate Brian’s knowledge, skill, and sense of humor. I whole-heartedly recommend him to someone seeking healing, pain-relief, and/or relaxation in a massage.”
“I’ve had trouble with migraine headaches and nausea, and Brian has relieved the problems with his cranial sacral treatments. I consider him a master healer.”
I am working with Brian to resolve some significant, episodic vertigo resulting from a dental procedure. The episodes have been completely debilitating. Since working with Brian, I’ve not had any vertigo at all, not even dizziness or lightheaded when changing positions. His work is subtle, gentle, and very effective. Brian is an intentional listener, paying attention to what I say, don’t say, and what my body tells him. I trust his knowledge, skills, and experience. He’s one of the best clinical/body practitioners I’ve ever worked with.
I, without hesitation, highly recommend Brian.
