margaret harrsen is a craniosacral therapist and spiritual healer. After completing traditional training and apprenticeship, she sought a deeper understanding of how the invisible aspects of our being — our thoughts, beliefs and soul manifest as physical health. her journey led to advanced studies, exploring how the embryological forces that formed us in utero remain active throughout our lives to heal and regenerate us. the body is the outermost visible layer of the soul and healing does not happen to the body, it happens through the soul. By synthesizing hands-on healing rooted in osteopathy with a deep appreciation for the power of human consciousness, Margaret provides a unique space for clients seeking lasting physical and spiritual alignment.

SOURCED FROM HER PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF BEING AN HSP.
HSP Self-Test
The HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) Scale Test was developed by Elaine Aron, Ph.D. and colleagues. The HSP Scale assesses the trait of Sensory‑Processing Sensitivity (SPS) — a personality/temperament trait involving deeper processing of stimuli, higher emotional reactivity, and greater sensitivity to subtleties in the environment. The term HSP refers to individuals scoring relatively high on this trait. Aron estimated about 15-30% of the population. Important to note: It is not a clinical diagnosis or disorder but a trait — a variant of normal human sensitivity.
DR. ARON SUMMARIZES CORE CHARACTERISTICS - acronym D.O.E.S:
D – Depth of Processing: taking more time to reflect, notice patterns, pause before action.
O – Overstimulation: more easily overwhelmed by sensory, emotional or social stimuli.
E – Emotional Reactivity & Empathy: stronger responses to both positive and negative stimuli.
S – Sensing the Subtle: more aware of fine details, subtle cues, internal or external changes.
* Also: Higher sensitivity to caffeine, pain, hunger, intense stimuli; stronger inner world.
