CranioSacral Therapy

Hands-on skills that wow your clients, upgrade your practice, and keep you evolving at the leading edge

CranioSacral Therapy: a game-changing, light-touch approach to body-(mind-spirit)-work

You’re a therapist and you love what you do.

You’re passionate about helping people heal. Perhaps you’ve dedicated your life to it.

But do you have those quiet moments where you wonder if there’s more you could do? 

Have your clients reached a plateau and you’re not sure what to do next?

Are you searching for missing pieces of the ‘treatment puzzle’ to unlock deeper healing?

Or…

Are you on the brink of a new career, ready to embark on a journey that transforms not just your clients, but you too?

Whatever brings you here

Welcome!

‘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.’

Katie Light

Whether you’re an experienced therapist or someone being drawn to therapy and healing, you’re in the right place if:

  • You’re curious and seeking more: more knowledge, more skill, more impact.
  • You want to help your clients not just feel better, but truly thrive, overcoming barriers that hold them back physically, emotionally and mentally.
  • You’re looking for a way to be the best therapist you can be, confident and capable of helping clients create lasting change.

CranioSacral Therapy: a gateway to a deeper, inspirational, more purposeful practice.

This isn’t just another technique—it’s a transformative approach that will up-level your entire practice.

Imagine:

  • Helping clients get to the core of their issues, moving beyond symptom relief to genuine, long-lasting change.
  • Deepening your intuitive grasp of the intricate body-mind-spirit humans that we are, making your treatments even more holistic, effective and spot-on…
  • Easily integrating this way of working, to add a new dimension (or two!) and an extra-special something to your sessions.
  • Feeling your confidence and competence grow.

As you heal at a deeper level yourself, you’ll create an even more profound space
for your clients to do the same.

CranioSacral Therapy: helps you finesse your hands-on skills

From the very first day of the training, you’ll see what a remarkable difference a lighter touch makes and be amazed at how much you can feel.
 
You’ll learn some really cool techniques to treat parts of the body you may have been overlooking – think cranial bones, the nervous system and the hidden layers of deep fascia just for starters. 
 
As your skills develop and your hands become even more precise, you’ll feel more while seeming to do less. You may find yourself smiling (on the inside) as clients ask, “How did you know that?”. The changes that happen often delight both you and your clients.
 
Your practice becomes not only more effective but easier on your hands and body too. 
 
You can relax.

And welcome the extraordinary becoming more and more ordinary.

CranioSacral Therapy: a magical paradox of light physical touch that creates deeply profound change.

And, as you progress, your connection to your clients will deepen

  • You’ll learn how to communicate with their ‘inner wisdom’ – the part that knows exactly what is needed, allowing you to follow its lead and release the need to figure out what to ‘do’.
  • You’ll safely support your clients in releasing deep-seated trauma and long-stuck emotional blockages that have held them back in their lives (using the knowledge and tools of SomatoEmotional Release or SER ). Witness them experience breakthroughs in their health and wellbeing they never thought possible.
  • Your practice will become a place of transformation, where clients find what they didn’t even know they needed, as they gently untangle the physical, mental and emotional stresses affecting their health and life.

Quietly enjoy the privilege and pleasure of supporting transformation in your client, and trust in yourself as a therapist.

And becoming a qualified Upledger CranioSacral Therapist brings you so much more…’

You receive lots of treatments – as well as giving them – a hugely important part of the training, so that you experience, first-hand, the change and transformation CST can bring about.

You do your own inner work improving your own health on every level. As you dive into the process more deeply, you’ll emerge as a more grounded, resilient healer – a great win-win!

Along the way you forge friendships and relationships that often stay with you far beyond your early training days.

Your journey with CST is as unique as you are.

    “My clients LOVE CST. It’s not just transformed my practice, but also changed ME in a way no other training ever has.“

    Meet Caroline

    Hi, I’m Caroline Barrow. I run the Upledger Institute UK.

    I remember the moment I decided to become a therapist.

    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.

    On mission to:

    • Hold a space for this amazing work, filled with integrity and love.
    • Support our students in becoming the best CranioSacral Therapists they can be.
    • Change the world, one gentle touch treatment at a time…
