Noreen Greenblatt, LMT

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPIST

Now accepting new clients!

Noreen brings over 25 years of experience in private practice, combining extensive training in craniosacral therapy, massage therapy, somatic healing, and mindfulness to support clients on their path toward healing and wholeness. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in French from UC Berkeley and spending a decade in finance and technology, she felt called toward a more meaningful path—one centered on helping others reconnect with their bodies and restore balance.

Throughout her career, Noreen has worked with individuals navigating traumatic brain injuries, TMJ dysfunction, chronic stress, complex trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. Her work as an anatomy and physiology instructor further deepened her understanding of the body's remarkable capacity for healing. In 2020, she became a Certified Hakomi Practitioner, expanding her practice to include mindfulness-based, body-centered psychotherapy that gently explores the connection between the mind, body, and emotions.

Noreen's approach is compassionate, intuitive, and deeply client-centered. She believes the body carries the stories of our lived experiences and creates a safe, supportive space where clients can cultivate awareness, resilience, and lasting healing. Originally from Brazil, Noreen is fluent in Portuguese and French. Outside of her practice, she enjoys hiking with her dog, cooking, exploring the arts, and attending live music events.

The Experience Speaks For Itself…

  • "I felt so safe and supported in Noreens’s care. Her touch is incredibly gentle, and she’s deeply attuned to both the body and emotions. Her trauma-informed approach helped me relax and trust the process in a way I haven’t experienced before. Her treatment is something everyone should experience, it is truly healing. She has clearly had so much education and is dedicated to her work, and it shows! She gave me all of the tools I needed to relax and reset my nervous system, tools that I will carry with me for the rest of my life."

  • "Holy smokes! I definitely stepped into a vortex with you... That craniosacral session left me feeling different in the best of ways. You are such a gifted healer and incredible person. Thank you!!"

  • "Noreen has been working with me and beside me as an ally through therapy sessions that have been deeply insightful and healing. I feel held in her warmth, caring, connection and presence at every session. She’s the first person (maybe ever?) that I have been able to cry in front of, when in a very vulnerable place. She will not give up on me, even the me that’s a mess of pain, grief, suffering and loss. I feel so blessed to have found her."

  • "Thank you so so much. It was such a beautiful session. I had no idea what to expect and what I experienced was not what I thought it was going to be! Your energy, tone, and your demeanor carries such peace and your location of course is so beautiful! The energy exchange really sent me into my body and shifts happened and we both felt them as they happened! That big shift was a big program that I’m running a lot in regards to my worth and how much I criticize myself. So thank you for allowing my body to sit in silence, fully embodied and supported by your weight and your strength!"

  • "I have no words. For some things there are truly no words. I have such deep respect for how Noreen orients towards her stewardship as a healer. She takes trauma and its healing seriously. She has devoted herself towards this mission of gathering the best tools she can find to use with her clients. She is the real deal. I have searched for someone like her for many years. She really understands Trauma, and what it can do to a person. I felt deeply seen and heard by Noreen, and I feel that even just that level of being witnessed was profoundly healing. On top of that, her way with supportive touch is something I have never experienced before. I feel honored and grateful to have gotten the chance to work with Noreen."

  • "Noreen is a miracle worker. I have been diagnosed with TMJD and she was highly recommended for her craniosacral work and speciality in TMJ. She coordinated my TMJ treatment with my physical therapist. I went to her with a massive and never-ending headache that had lasted for at least 3 months. The first time I got off her table the headache was gone. I hadn't even realized how bad it was until our first session relieved it. Over a period of 8 weeks Noreen worked her magic, while teaching me the anatomy of all the body parts we were working on. Sessions with Noreen feel like a combination of therapeutic body work, spa experience and transcendental meditation. I unreservedly recommend her for her hands, her knowledge, her spirit, and her empathy - not to mention her sense of humor!"

  • "I have been struggling with complications of a spinal cord injury, PTSD and fibromyalgia for years. I was given Noreen’s name by my integrative family medicine (naturopathic) doctor. Upon meeting and working with Noreen, I quickly felt the safety and grounding needed to do this intimate work. Her ability to provide a “sacred space” is truly an art form. Noreen’s education/experience in massage, craniosacral work and Hakomi provides such a rich and varied array of skills. These skills, in combination with intuition, intense presence, empathy and validation, all create an incredibly safe milieu to do amazing therapeutic body and emotional work. I do feel blessed that our paths crossed. I am learning, healing and evolving in mind, body and spirit."

    —Former Client

  • "The beautiful session you gave me was deeply restorative. For the first time since the accident, I felt my brain nestling back into my skull, and afterwards I slept for hours! I felt myself remember what normal is. Your warm presence, compassionate listening, and skills helped bring me safely back to myself. Thank you so much!"

    —Former Client

  • "I recently saw Noreen for a series of 4 Craniosacral treatments for my TMJ. I had developed fairly significant jaw pain and was having trouble eating. Her sessions were extremely skilled and nurturing, a combination that is difficult to find. I have been a practicing physical therapist for over 20 years and I readily recognize someone who has excellent knowledge of the science and anatomy of the physical body. Noreen has that, she is extremely smart and incredibly intuitive, a powerful combination in a healer. I recommend anyone who has TMJ issues to seek out her services as well as anyone looking for craniosacral work."
