Audience: Members of the general public can study Craniosacral Therapy with no previous bodywork experience. This program is also excellent for professional body workers, including Massage Therapists, Polarity Therapists, Rolfing practitioners, Acupuncturists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Doctors and Chiropractors.
In this class you will learn how to become silent enough to listen and feel the inner movements of a person’s body. You will understand how to approach and interact with the central nervous system and the Craniosacral system, and will learn to feel the specific cranial rhythm with which you are most comfortable. You will explore ‘synchronicity’ between you and the client in all its aspects. You will feel and practice how the CS system relates to the whole body, learn about fascial intelligence, and experience the diaphragm-by-diaphragm release. I will teach you the anatomy of the brain, nervous system, and CS-system, and show you how to do the basic cranial lifts and neck (atlas-occiput) releasing techniques. By the end of this Basic class you will be able to give a full basic cranial session.
Craniosacral: Follow-Up Training
PRQ – Craniosacral Basics
This class will connect you with the 3 CS-rhythms and introduce you to the brain cycle. It will present unwinding techniques and teach you how to open the heart via the meridians as well as using a thorax release. You will learn how to create still-points, direct energy, and open the “avenue of expression” in order to connect with your clients using your “original voice.” You will give and receive a practice session each day.
Craniosacral: Sphenoid Training
PRQ – Craniosacral Follow Up Training
When a child is born there are pressures on the skull, and these pressures fixate the base of the skull and bones of the head into a certain position. The normal hardening of these bones locks the skull into this ‘baby’ position. Without intervention, this position stays with us for the rest of our lives. In this class I will share with you techniques to increase the flexibility of the cranial base, allowing the brain to function in the maximum space available. You will see how to release the trigeminal nerve and open up new possibilities of intelligence for yourself and your clients. Cranio = intelligence. Finally, you will explore the structures that keep the dura in place, such as the ethmoid and coccyx complex.
Craniosacral: Talking to The Heart
PRQ – Craniosacral Sphenoid Training
In this Somato Emotional Trauma Release class I will show you how to speak with your clients using your ‘original voice.’ You will learn to recognize and use the intelligence of cells and organs. You will feel how to speak directly to the structures inside the body without the interference of the chattering mind. You will also learn techniques for exploring and releasing constrictions in your own heart and your clients’ hearts. Since the effectiveness of Cranio therapy is directly dependent on the amount of love that the therapist can allow, everyone who wants to claim this ability has to make sure his/her heart is as free as possible.
This training gives you the possibility to function more smoothly and express more fully, as a Craniosacral therapist and in your own life. If joy needs to express itself, this is the doorway, and it will change your life forever.

This class addresses TMJ Dysfunction and how the sympathetic and parasympathetic Nervous Systems are interconnected with our brain and impact our general well being.
Craniosacral: Talking to the Alarm System
PRQ – Craniosacral Talking to the Heart
This Somato Emotional Release 2 class will explore the reticular alarm system and the total stress cascade response in the body. Typically when we experience stress, it is the result of the reactions in the systems which function out of the awareness of our conscious mind. In this class students learn how these responses occur, and how to take them off “automatic” and interrupt the stress cascade.
