Profile

Ula Katsoulis (LMT, CST) specializes in Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy. She is a Licensed Massage Therapist in New York and Pennsylvania. She has been practicing and refining her skills as a manual therapy practitioner since 1994. After six years as a Five Element Shiatsu therapist, she attended the Swedish Institute in New York City, where she studied massage therapy, anatomy, pathology, and neurology.

Ula’s explorations into holistic healing and transformative bodywork led her to study with the Upledger Institute, internationally known for its pioneering work in Craniosacral Therapy as developed by Dr. John Upledger, D.O.

Her awe at Craniosacral Therapy’s outstanding clinical results propelled her decision to become certified in its techniques and to dedicate her practice to this dynamic manual therapy.

She has furthered her therapeutic skills by becoming adept at Visceral Manipulation, a manual therapy approachcreated by French osteopath Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral.

Continuing Education and Experience

Ula is a longtime teaching assistant for both the Upledger Institute’s CranioSacral Therapy program (upledger.com) and The Barral Institute’s Visceral Manipulation program (barralinstitute.com). She also integrates Lymph Drainage Therapy, having trained at the Chikly Institute (chiklyinstitute.org), founded by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO. Lymph Drainage Therapy is a gentle technique that helps stimulate the movement of lymph fluid—the body’s natural cellular waste removal system that supports the immune and circulatory systems. It can be beneficial for inflammation, infections, edema, post-operative recovery, and more.

Ula listens deeply and without judgment to each client’s story, allowing her to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person. She is fully present with her clients and believes that strong therapeutic relationships are essential to meaningful healing. With nearly two decades of experience in the healing arts, Ula has a deep respect for the body’s innate ability to heal and restore itself.

The three modalities she specializes in—CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Lymph Drainage Therapy—are innovative, gentle, and effective manual therapies suitable for people of all ages.

Ula may use these therapies individually or combine them in an integrated approach, carefully tailoring each session to the client’s specific needs.

She offers transformative bodywork in both New York City and Philadelphia, and maintains her own well-being through exercise, yoga, and meditation.

Appreciation

{

Since I have come to Ula my entire body has changed. I have begun sleeping without Ambien for the first time in years. It’s incredible. I feel relaxed and rested and energized. I also feel fewer aches and pains and a better feeling of overall health. Thank You Ula!

Stillpoint has helped me with severe scar tissue and adhesions. My digestive issues improved after a few sessions. I would recommend Stillpoint for pain relief and digestive improvement.

Ula Katsoulis has magic hands. The first time she treated me, Ula sent me almost instantly into a trancelike state that brought my deepest emotions to the surface. I could feel and see the emotions swirling around in a mist and then resolve themselves. Ula made my worries surface and then present solutions to themselves.

During the same treatment, Ula found the place deep in my lower back where I had pulled a muscle when I was pregnant. I had gone to a chiropractor to have the back pain treated, and that helped some, but the chiropractor could never find the injury. Ula intuited the place and eased the muscles back in place to promote self-healing. The whole experience was absolutely amazing.

My first experience with CST [Craniosacral Therapy ] was both healing and gentle. Even several days after treatment, the treatment was so effective I felt as though the stress and tension really left my system. CST was more profound than any other body treatment I’ve experienced (deep tissue massage, acupuncture). Ula’s touch and presence was healing, and the moving meditation my body sensed allowed me to open up additional space in my body that was not previously accessible.

I’ve had chronic migraines for ten years and after five Craniosacral sessions with Ula, my migraines went away! I am able to fully function and enjoy my life again. She is a treasure!

Ula is a gifted therapist. After I went to everyone for sciatica, she helped me loosen up and relax with both Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. After four sessions, my symptoms lessened considerably. I highly recommend her.
