This course will introduce you to the anatomy and physiology of the CranioSacral System through our practical hands-on "learning by discovery" method. You will learn advanced palpatory skills, fascial and soft tissue release techniques, and a concise 10-step protocol for evaluation and treatment of the entire body via the CranioSacral System.

You will learn gentle techniques that assess and help normalize components of the CranioSacral System, so the body can begin to self-correct. By unraveling pain and dysfunction at the source, you'll naturally help eliminate stress, strengthen resistance to disease, and enhance health in every dimension.

We’re baaaaackkkk ✨

A little behind-the-scenes magic of intentionally setting the classroom space before we welcomed our newest group of future massage therapists to their first day of school.

Every year, the school year starts in this way. There’s a certain energy that floats in the classroom before you all arrive. A humming, a calling home.
