Naturopathic Doctor, Craniosacral Therapist and Soul Work Facilitator

Dr. Ashton Perroni, N.D.

Location: Pacifica CA & Lafayette CA

Dr. Ashton Perroni is the owner, medical director, and primary Naturopathic Doctor at Thyme Integrative Health. She is a Board Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and graduate from Bastyr University California. Dr. Ashton has known since she was a child that she wanted to help people heal but didn’t agree with the typical paradigm of western medicine.

In her search for something that resonated more with her values and ideals she discovered Naturopathic medicine which guided her into the world of alternative medicine and healing and the wide range of modalities that it
offers.

Through her own healing Dr. Ashton came to recognize the importance of truly connecting with and integrating the wounds and past experiences of one's mind, body and spirit. Dr. Ashton uses a combination of her Naturopathic modalities, Craniosacral therapy, Energy healing and Soul work to stimulate each individual’s ability to bring the whole person back
into alchemy.

Dr. Ashton is most passionate about supporting women through their individualized experiences in every phase of life. WOMEN DESERVE THIS SUPPORT! She educates patients on how to take an active role in their health, advocate for services that are indicated and makes sure each patient is fully informed on ALL of their treatment and management options
for their conditions.

Dr. Ashton specializes in gut health, thyroid conditions and hormone balancing in every phase of life. This supports women through all of the menstruating years, prenatal/ fertility period, postpartum and of course perimenopause, menopause and postmenopausal phases.

Conditions Dr. Ashton has vast knowledge and experience in treating

Hormone Imbalances; irregular menstrual cycles, PMS, heavy bleeding,
painful periods, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, premenstrual dysphoric
disorder (PMDD), infertility and/or recurrent miscarriages and all things
menopause related
Thyroid Disorders; hyper/ hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s and Grave’s
GI Disorders; leaky gut, abdominal bloating, constipation, diarrhea,
GERD, microbiome imbalances, intestinal inflammation, IBS, IBD

Dr. Ashton is trained in several naturopathic modalities and spends quality time with each patient to educate and tailor treatment plans to individual needs. She strongly believes in the naturopathic principles of always starting with the least invasive treatment options by removing obstacles to cure and utilizing the healing power of nature using herbs, nutritional supplements, food as medicine, and lifestyle modifications. However, she also utilizes craniosacral therapy, soul or energy work and IV therapy to help jumpstart the immune system, connect the mind, body and spirit and stimulate healing processes when necessary.

In her free time Dr. Ashton can be found running around town with her daughter and husband, spending time in nature, hiking or cuddling her cats and watching a good movie.

She is thrilled to be supporting patients along the Coast and in the East Bay!

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, Somatic Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Livia Ondi, L.M.F.T.

Location: Pacifica CA

Livia Ondi is a holistic somatic practitioner with extensive studies in biodynamic craniosacral therapy and years of practice as a licensed family therapist.

Livia offers biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST) in the Pacifica location for individuals as well as infants and their parents who seek a greater balance with nervous system regulation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a non-invasive, gentle, and effective form of bodywork and energy work that supports the resolution of trauma, stress, and pain by enhancing one's own inherent health and healing power. Health is a deep and abiding part of each person's essential nature, and it is always available even when we experience illness, trauma, stress, and pain. The practitioner's task is to create a supportive environment and enhance the slow, steady rhythmic sensation of the clients' inherent health so their system can generate health and resolution of symptoms from within. Clients are fully clothed during the session.

BCST is appropriate if you wish to:

settle an overactive nervous system
heal from anxiety, trauma, and habitual stress patterns
support recovery from illness, surgery, and other medical conditions
deepen your somatic awareness
enhance integration of body-mind-spirit consciousness
experience deep relaxation

BCST can especially be supportive for parents and babies during the pre- and perinatal and postpartum period providing non-invasive, hands-on support with settling and co-regulation. Babies settle deeply when their parents feel supported and are balanced themselves and vice versa. When babies are able to be soothed, sleep well, and feed well, parents relax and experience a deeper trust in the process of parenting. BCST aims to strengthen this positive cycle and help support resolution of challenging birth dynamics and difficulties with infancy and the postpartum bonding period.

Livia blends her warm presence, somatic skills, and knowledge of nervous system regulation in a unique and enlivening way. She has a private practice in San Francisco where she supports young children and families during pregnancy, birth and the first 5 years; provides couples therapy; and somatic therapy for adults.

Livia is currently working towards registration as a Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner (RCST®). She is in an advanced stage of her studies under Gary Peterson (RCST®) at the Star Institute - Settling Touch and Resonance.

Clinical Psychologist

Andrea Miller, Psy.D

Location: Pacifica CA

Dr. Andrea Miller is a licensed clinical psychologist who has been involved in community mental health, college counseling, and private practice since 2003. A graduate of the California School of Professional Psychology (now Alliant University), she provides psychotherapy to adults who want to create a more vital and joyous life for themselves.

Maybe you’ve dedicated many years to meeting the needs of your family, your children, or your career. Perhaps you feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough, and you’ve become burned out, frustrated, maybe even numb. You might be coping with a major life transition such as a divorce, job change, or a newly empty nest. Suddenly, you hear a wakeup call: Who am I now, and what do I need to be happy?

As a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years in practice, I help adults understand themselves more deeply, cope positively with life transitions, grieve losses, and realign with their values and desires – the keys to creating an authentic, sustainable and exciting path forward in their lives. Clients describe feeling more vital and joyous through our work together. They experience not only an increased sense of vitality, but also a revival in their personal relationships, their work life, and their true sense of self. Together, we collaborate on enriching their health in mind, body, and spirit.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary and hard. It can feel like a relief and a release, like fresh air after you’ve been holding your breath. I’ve helped countless people emerge from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, and burnout with a client-centered, relationally-oriented, neurologically and trauma-informed, and multicultural approach to psychotherapy. I typically meet with clients weekly to create a sense of consistent support, and I often integrate meditation, mindfulness, and the tools of CBT and ACT to guide clients in making powerful, life-affirming changes.

If you are ready to move toward a deeper and more vital connection to yourself and your desires and a more joyous life experience, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I am available for in-person and virtual sessions.
