‘I felt CranioSacral Therapy would take my work and life to the next level.
I was right.
The physical, mental and emotional release, from such a deep place,
has been transformational, personally and professionally.’
Whichever it is, we’re glad you’re here.
Whether you’re a qualified therapist or deciding to become one… I bet you’re curious. About how people heal, how to help them go deeper: physically, emotionally, mentally…
You know there’s more.
You want to become the best therapist you can be, assured and confident in your ability to help clients turn things around and get the results they are looking for.
CranioSacral Therapy is a purposeful, empowering and inspirational way to do that.
(Even though the techniques we teach are actually awesome.)
All the while, healing at a deeper level yourself, so you can hold an even more superpower-ful space for others.
As your skills upgrade, you’ll witness more and more that’s extraordinary. Every day.
Welcome to the magic of the CST paradox.
CranioSacral Therapy… a magical paradox of light physical touch that creates deeply profound change.
Clients find what they didn’t even know they needed, experiencing breakthroughs that surprise and delight them.
You quietly enjoy the privilege and pleasure of facilitating transformation in your client, and trust in yourself as a therapist.
You receive lots of treatments (as well as giving them) – a hugely important part of the training, so that you intimately experience the change and transformation CST can bring about.
You do your own inner work, and as you dive into the process more deeply, you improve your own health on every level – a great win-win!
Along the way you forge friendships and relationships that often stay with you far beyond your early training days.
You go on a journey that is as unique and individual as you are…
The destination? (Well, where do you most want to go?)
‘CST has helped me sooth my frazzled nervous system layer by layer, piece by piece over the years and helped me feel calmer and less reactive’
I have loved soaking up the energy of learning again in real life. I am able to connect so much more deeply in treating – Thank You!
‘CST has helped me be a better therapist by really teaching me to slow down and listen to the client’s body, words and energy.’
‘It has given me a depth of self-awareness that I have never felt’
‘CST is my life-line, because to work on myself before anything else is very important… then the magic happens…’
I came to CST as a requirement for another course. What I thought was an end turned out to be only the beginning of a journey…! I feel so fortunate to have found this profound work.
‘The training is never-ending and growth is 5-dimensional!’
All of our training starts with a class called CST1.
Already a Therapist? You also have the option of the Core Pack, which includes all the things you’ll need to add CST to your practice, get competent and qualified.
No therapy background (or qualification), but you want to build a thriving, joyful, prosperous business that will make your soul sing?
Training From Scratch
is your pathway.
“What I really like about the Upledger system is that it is extremely thorough; every course is really prepared and thoughtful, and each seems to spark your curiosity in a different way. But be prepared, once you are hooked, this work cannot be condensed into a few days… there are so many avenues of wonder to explore ”

Maybe you have just heard about CranioSacral Therapy and want to know more
about what it is and what it might be like to receive.
No problem… we explain it all here.
Hi, I’m Caroline Barrow.
I run the Upledger Institute in the UK.
Our mission?
💛 To hold a space for this amazing work, filled with integrity and love.
🌱 To support our students in becoming the best CranioSacral Therapists they can be.
✋ To change the world, one gentle touch treatment at a time…
I’d always been fired up by living life to its fullest potential, how these miraculous bodies of ours work and how we can help and support others along our journeys. Late one night, contemplating what I wanted to do next in my life, I was suddenly hit by the realisation that becoming a hands-on therapist was a path that would tick these boxes. I felt inspired and excited.
I did some amazing training and learnt some awesome ways to treat, but there were sessions that seemed to lack something, I still didn’t feel I was good enough at what I was doing. I knew I could trust my hands as I worked, and wanted to be more effective, but couldn’t figure out how.
Then I found CranioSacral Therapy (or did it find me?!). It changed the game. It gave me the science to back up what I was feeling. It gave me a new lens to see what was happening in my practice. It taught me techniques that moved the needle for my clients which increased my confidence.
And now it continuously helps me to become a better therapist – a work always in progress of course. I never dreamed I’d be running the institute in the UK, organising the classes and teaching, but here I am, constantly spurred on by those moments when people’s faces light up with delight from the new things that they are feeling.
Twenty-five years on, what CST brings to the table still blows me away: I am left awed by clients, inspired by students and always deeply grateful.
