We interviewed Avadhan Larson in 2019 before she came to teach both these classes in the UK. The points are all on-goingly valid! Could you tell us a little about your background? What first got you interested in – and then committed to – CST? I began my career as an acupuncturist in 1979. I…
My year begins in October 2017. I had finally committed to rebooting my focus and set my intention to complete the Upledger training. I had been sidetracked for a good five years by family ill-health, death and random accidents and, as a mother of three and the only child close by to ageing parents, I spun…
We are delighted to be welcoming Tad Wanveer, author of the book Brain Stars, Glia Illuminating Craniosacral Therapy, back to the UK soon to present CST Touching The Brain 1 and 2 courses.
Tad worked closely with Dr. Upledger, mainly while he was a staff therapist at the Upledger clinic serving as head of the intensive therapy program, clinician, co-director of the clinic, and illustrator of various work published by Dr. Upledger, such as Cell Talk.
Since 2015, when Eric Moya developed the mentoring programme and visited from across the pond to train up a group of our qualified practitioners, we have been able to offer students mentoring as an additional support mechanism. However, it seems that there is still some confusion as to how it differs from a study group.
We spoke to Tad Wanveer (LMBT, CST-D ) at the end of 2017 to find out a little more about him, his history and what to expect from the CST: Touching the Brain 1 course. Tad is an expert in the field of CranioSacral Therapy (CST). He worked closely with John Upledger, which deeply shaped his…
Nikki Kenward joined us to talk about the Second Brain, and how research on the Enteric Nervous System is impacting CranioSacral Therapy…. out of her interest and exploration a new course was born – CST: Treating the Second Brain. Nikki, could you tell us what brought you to CranioSacral Therapy? I was originally a dancer…
This musing comes from my efforts to explain to my husband why I keep going on courses. ‘Don’t you know enough already?’ he asked again… My reply: Nick, you are an excellent engineer and mechanic (there’s nothing he doesn’t know about cars and motorbikes particularly). If I were to give you a manual for a…
Treasures from the Past I have been reading an amazing biography of A T Still, the father and developer of osteopathy. He lived from 1828 – 1917. It’s written by John Lewis, an osteopath who lived in Kirsville, Missouri, reaseaching Still’s life for four years and drawing together a myriad of resources to compile this…
Ecosomatics for Horses: A Transformative Journey with CranioSacral Therapy I was really looking forward to attending the ecosomatics course in Bristol in July 2014 and on arrival at the venue, Horse World, Bristol, was pleased to find a well maintained facility with happy and unstressed horses. We all assembled in the yard and were met…
What an interesting 4 days… And what a wonderful additional set of ways to use this therapeutic approach. What I was Not Expecting And took a while to get to…! I dont think I was too sure what to expect from this class – I certainly thought I would consolidate my understanding of the immune…
