Radiance Therapy with Rose Alisandre

04/17/2026

Hello Friends:

What a beautiful Spring we are graced with. I encourage all of us to take the time to engage with nature to nurture and grow our spirit and our consciousness during these stressful and chaotic times in our world. Bodywork and Craniosacral Therapy are another, and very powerful way to take care of ourselves, to nurture our spirits and grow our consciousness. It is more important now than ever that we take care of ourselves: selfcare is not a luxury, it is an important and necessary part of our health care.

In this work, we begin to reclaim our Body Sovereignty, by learning to find and rest in stillness, we become aware of our body's innate intelligence. We come home to our senses and feelings, our inner knowings. In Biodynamic Cranial work we call this interoception and exteroception, sensing our inner world and the field around us. In this way of being and sensing we are able to be more responsible for the tending and care of our body, mind and spirit.

If you have not checked out my new website rosealisandre.com I hope you will take this opportunity to check it out.

It has a wealth of new information about my current services which include:

Private sessions of BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy, In person or Touch Free.
Recurring Mini BioDynamic Meditation and Sound Retreats
If you are a current client and have been looking for a way to talk to your friends about the work you are receiving from me this new website is a wonderful and informative way to introduce them.

There is information about what BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy is, what its many benefits are, as well as the ways a session can help.
I hope you will head on over to rosealisandre.com and check it out.

Here are a few accounts from clients which beautifully describe how the experience of BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy can benefit your healing, health, life and consciousness:

"I was feeling fragmented after a reverse shoulder replacement and 2 strokes and brain surgery. I booked a 90 minute session wit Rose. She knew just my body needed! She created a space for my body to reintegrate and become whole again! I definitely recommend sessions. It was just what I needed. Thank you Rose" Mary Beth Malone Hendricks

"Gentle and transformational are the words I use to describe my session with Rose. Rose is someone I know and trust to engage in more energetic work. The experience was beautiful -- I felt deeply held and relaxed throughout. It was fascinating to feel the shifts in my energy and the surrounding energy as the session progressed.
The time flew by! Afterward, I felt more calm and more in harmony with the divine flow of life. Rose was incredibly supportive and held a space for a smooth and enjoyable integration.
It was amazing to observe the energy we both picked up on, and how they tracked with each other. I loved the session, it was a wonderful experience." Erin True

So there is a beginning a middle and an end to the sessions:
The beginning is creating the sense of safety and relaxation of the nervous system, and sensing our connection with the whole field of life, which the founder of this work, Dr. William Garner Sutherland, called The Breath of Life, and its movement which we call the Tide.

The middle is noticing the action of the Tide and supporting it with our attention and awareness,

The End is the resolution of the change created by the action, and a return to a balanced and more resilient flow of our own tidal motion.

This session was a distance session done on the phone with each other.
Distance sessions can be more powerful than in person sessions.

I will be out of state next week, from the
20th through the 27th and will return and be available for sessions beginning Tuesday April 28th
call or text to schedule.

Remember, you have to take care of you, because its important that you're here.

Yours In Health

"There is a growing emphasis on expression—on releasing, purging, acting out what has been repressed. And while expression has its place, something essential is being misunderstood. Because expression alone does not reorganize the psyche.

In fact, without a holding environment—without the capacity to stay present in the body—these expressions can become patterned. Familiar. Even addictive. The system learns, “This is what we do with this energy.” But it does not learn anything new.

This is why catharsis, on its own, often leads to repetition—the same anger, the same shame, the same cycles, just enacted more consciously or more dramatically.

Integration asks something much more subtle. Not: how do I express this? But: can I stay with this?

Can I feel this in the body without collapsing into it? Can I remain in relationship with it, without needing to discharge it immediately?"

Intro to CST II class, focusing on
"The Healing Ground of Trauma"
May 15 to 17, 2026
Friday thru Sunday from 9 am to 4:30 pm

You don't have to have taken Part I to enroll.
$425 18 CE hours
at Body Wellness Massage Academy in Conway

"Rose is an amazing teacher. Her gentle nature, unconditional positive regard for everyone who walks through the door, intelligence and sense of humor, lay the foundation for a class that encourages spiritual and mental growth on a deeply profound level. You will leave her classes better than you came to them, without a doubt.
Secondly, to take CST is transformative. Many of us who practice any sor of "deep listening" or energy work in our practice, struggle to find a language to frame what we do in a manner that makes sense to, and resonates with, our clients. This class provides that; all while allowing us to experience and practice a modality of treatment that deepens the foundation of our energy work. You may come to this class as strangers, but yu will leave as friends.
Definitely the most amazing CE I have taken.
Thank you, Rose. I will definitely be back"
Melissa Stidham-Clary

Writer Carol Patterson describes us as a PTSD Society. Many, if not all of us are carrying some level of PTSD in our nervous system. When our nervous system is triggered, we lose our ability to respond in present time. We, in effect, become disconnected from our empathy, our compassion, our bodies, the living earth herself.

In this BioDynamic Craniosacral class we will first address ourselves, using guided mediations and the hands on practice sessions to begin to address our own trauma/PTSD wounding. This is essential if we are to provide a space of safety and sanctuary that allows our clients to feel safe enough to find their own sense of inner connection and belonging. From this place of safety we will explore ways to help our clients resource themselves and enable us to help them release their trauma wounding without recreating or creating more trauma.

In the past, some therapists and therapies advocated cathartic experience as the way to release trauma, but research has shown that it does just the opposite.

There is much research to support the BioDynamic approach of facilitating safety as the healing ground of trauma.

Although we don't focus on fixing lesions in the BioDynamic approach, many people find that pain and chronic conditions are much improved.

William Garner Sutherland, the early Osteopath on whose lineage our work is based, came to believe that it is the Intelligence of Life, or as he called it, the Breath of Life that does the work, that releases the patterns of energy held in our body and not the practitioner, our role is to learn to perceive the movement of the Breath of Life and support and follow it with our awareness and attention.

SO, our training is to train and practice to deepen and widen our field of perception, and also in helping the client to become more aware of this healing relationship that we in this work call "the Health"
The guided meditations and hands on work provide an opportunity for you to do your own work, allowing you to provide the safe and nurturing space your clients need in order to rest under their sympathetic activations. This allows their systems to open to the deeper healing ministrations of the Breath of Life/
It is for this reason that I keep these classes small.

"I've studied with Rose Alisandre multiple times (three as of my writing, probably more as you're reading this). Each time the work gets deeper, more meaningful, and more subtle. There are layers upon layers of accrued tensions and blockages that shift, then melt, then evaporate as I sit in the tide. Rose is a committed, compassionate, and articulate teacher. She has a wealth of knowledge and insight into Craniosacral Biodynamics. Every class is unique and a reflection of the students who are present. The class becomes its own little ecosystem and we bond deeply in just a weekend. I'm repeatedly amazed at how Rose creates a trusting therapeutic educational experience for 10 strangers within an hour of meeting. I've been practicing massage since the 1990's and feel like Rose is an anchor point in Arkansas Massage. I view her as a mentor. I continue to take her courses whether I need CE credits or not" Heather Huber
Participants in this class report profound relaxation as well as a deep sense of grounding, connection, and belonging. They also report profound results with their clients. This is my experience with my clients as well.

I hope you are inspired to join us in the subtle, profound, cutting edge work of BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

I want to take a moment to share some insights about BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy as it has unfolded over the last few years in working with you.

Craniosacral Therapy is bodywork and consciousness work. It is helping your nervous system to relax and open to freeing the held energies that have been held in your body, causing you pain, a feeling of stuckness, fear, anxiety, unclear thinking or lost in thoughts and belief systems of the past. It's like coming home to our original blueprint our wholeness.

We open back up to our original first breath (we call it in this work, primary respiration) the one we've had since our conception. We are being breathed by and breathing with the "Breath of Life" - a divine reciprocity that returns us to our natural state of innocence and wholeness.

We are working with our consciousness - going deep into our subconscious to free the unconscious. to free the unaccepted, unacknowledged parts of ourselves, that have not felt safe to express or even to know. As this awareness unfolds, we can begin to breath with the breath of life out into the spaciousness of our natural divine connection to wholeness and belonging.

In this work together, as the body relaxes into a sense of safety and rest, underneath the surface levels of nervous system activation (as one teacher put it "we have a "nervous" nervous system) as the body rests under and beyond that state, it's story begins to tell itself. This newfound awareness in a space of safety and trust, allows these energies and stories to unravel and release. Then it becomes possible to come home to our senses, to feeling in the present moment to present time reality, what is actually here.

We begin to feel and to feel free to receive and express love more fully to enjoy our life, our family, our relationships. We are able to make healthy boundaries through clear communication, without blame or shame.

This can be a gradual or not so gradual awakening. The timing is not ours - yours or mine - it is in the hands of the Tide, the movement and the divine wisdom of the breath of life that is moving through us, always expressing into our fluid bodes its intentions for our unfolding health and consciousness.

Many of you are already on this path of healing and evolving consciousness and it is my joy to continue working with you.

If you are feeling drawn to this healing path and return to wholeness I will love to meet you in the Tides and the Stillness which is their fulcrum, their center

You are heartily invited to call or text me at (501) 772-1551 to begin your journey.

Yours in Health

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Accessing the inherent healing power of the body with gentle somatic touch.
I am excited to offer these two very experiential trainings in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

These courses will grow your skills of Perceptual Awareness, Presence and and understanding of our Three Bodies: physical, fluid and tidal as well as how to access awareness in each field.
Perceptual Awareness and Presence are the foundational skills of BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy


Here is a brief article that will help you understand what this beautiful practice is all about:

There are inherent, intelligent and unexplained forces that create and maintain the human body.

Every second, 10 million cells are destroyed in the body, and have to be replaced immediately and precisely, otherwise the body would explode or dissolve. There is no way to predict where the cells will be destroyed. And yet - every minute, our bodies continue to re-produce themselves and we don’t even notice.

When we were formed as embryos, we first existed as fluid dynamics - before genes and neurons, fluid dynamics impeccably shaped our bodies.

What are the mysterious forces that reliably create and sustain life? What goes awry when they no longer function and disease, dysfunction and pain take over?

These are the questions at the heart of the practice of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST). While these mysteries go unexplained by modern science, the founders and innovators in the field of BCST found that there are subtle fluctuations and movements in the body, and that when these movements (which are the expression of the Breath of Life as the Tides, also referred to as the natural biorhythms in and around the body) are augmented by therapeutic listening, patients recovered from a host of conditions.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle therapeutic approach based on the Osteopathic discovery of micro-movements in the body. Through extensive experimentation, early osteopathic physicians determined that when this motion has full expression, many conditions improve. The name “Craniosacral” specifically indicates the importance of the central structures of the body including cranium, spine and sacrum.

At its start, the work was very manipulative, but later practitioners discovered that less and less intervention was needed in order to make substantial and also dramatic changes, and that creating a supportive environment so that the client’s system generates therapeutic change from within, was actually very effective. This more subtle approach to the work was called “Biodynamic” Craniosacral Therapy.

A skilled biodynamic craniosacral practitioner listens to the subtle pulsations of the system as the body tells its story. The body speaks through its natural biorhythms, micro-movements and especially through its experience-managing patterns of physical shaping. With deep listening the practitioner encourages revitalization of the inherent healing potential of the system, and supports the Breath of Life in the release of resistance patterns. This approach emphasizes hearing the health of the system and encouraging its expression.

Craniosacral Therapy involves gentle hands-on work that honors the client’s own self-healing process. The intention is not to fix problems, but rather to encourage the emergence of new levels of order in mind and body. Practitioners know how to recognize the presence of the Breath of Life in many levels and locations of the body, and use appropriate methods to support and nurture its natural expression.

My students are loving this work and what it adds to their practice and ability to develop a healing relational field with their clients, many of them repeating the course several times, as each class is dynamically unique.

You may take either class, they do not have to be taken in order.

Registration Fee: $425,

Recent Student Review: "I truly can't say enough about how wonderful this class was. Rose's presence is deeply welcoming and nurturing. She creates a space where you feel safe to grow, explore, and expand your understanding without pressure or pretense. I am incredibly grateful for how this training sharpened the CST tools I walked in with, while expanding both my understanding and my capabilities within this modality. Experiences like this remind me why I love this work so much.
If you are looking for a meaningful CE course, I highly recommend training with Rose."
Christine Martin, Functional Body Therapies, LLC

"I traveled eight hours to get to this amazing course with Rose. I returned, home with a steady energy and did not have to take the next day off work. My field is occupational therapy with children and families. How Rose structured this course really speaks to her understanding of healing, and of health and wellness. Rose is an instructor who speaks and can hold space with a depth of compassion and understanding of a woman who has done healing work for so many years. I love the structure of the class and the easy framework I came home with. Thank you Rose."

One of my clients once said to me "Wow where did all that stillness come from" She had never experienced it before. Many of us haven't, we are too busy pushing through... our to do lists, our feelings, our sensory connection to nature and to ourselves.

But that stillness is where our sense of connection and belonging live.
It is also where there is spaciousness that has room for everything.
In this spaciousness and stillness is our heart center our inner knowing that was and is here before all the pushing down, avoiding, the denying that there is even anything to be pushed down and avoided.

This is where the unacknowledged, unaccepted parts of ourselves have also been relegated.

All of this consumes energy, so we feel tired and the need to rush to push through so we can stop

But we're afraid to stop, it doesn't feel safe.......this is what a chronically activated sympathetic
nervous system feels like. One wise teacher said, "We have a nervous nervous system"

When we work together with the Breath of Life, as we do in BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy,
Our nervous, nervous system begins to feel safe, and that allows us to open and rest into the sense of spaciousness and connectedness that is a part of our basic essence, we begin to come home to our senses and our wholeness.

And in this spacious, connected place awareness grows and there is space to feel what was not safe to feel, we come into the presence of the present moment. We gain access to our inner knowing, our inner guidance system begins to come back on line

In these chaotic trying times this is needed now more than ever, to enable us to live and to love and to enjoy our lives and the people in our lives.

I invite your to take time to take a pause
