Intro Courses
Introducing CranioSacral Therapy
Interested in CST but not ready to jump into the full training? Or just want to find out a little more? Our Intro Courses could be perfect for you!
Usually two days, (occasionally just one), they are organised and taught by our advanced, experienced and qualified practitioners, who have done extra training to set them up to run these classes.
Who goes along? Often, it’s clients who have become more than a little curious about what is going on in treatments; it can be interested folk with no previous training who want to learn a few techniques to help family and friends… or even already qualified healthcare practitioners intrigued to find out more before signing up to the full CST monty.
Anyone interested is welcome.
the things you will learn
This course contains an outline of Dr John’s approach, philosophy and intentions for this work. We will give you a bit of the history about him and the other people who developed the field before him.
We will talk a little bit about some of the techniques presented in CST1, including releasing the transverse fascial diaphragms, feeling the craniosacral rhythm and initiating what we call a stillpoint in this rhythm – amazing for relaxing the body and rebooting the flow of fluid around the brain and spinal cord.
We show you the ‘direction of energy’ technique and, most importantly, introduce you to the most vital and profound aspect of the approach: listening to the client’s body and following what the body tissues want to do, with no ‘fixing’ agenda…
Most Intro Courses are run over two days to give you ample time to practice the techniques and really understand the essence; if all the students are experienced therapists, we can also run it as one (longer) day.
The cost is typically £150 – 200 for the two days, depending on the location / venue.
You can find out about any Intro Courses we know of on the Calendars page. If you don’t see any Intro Courses listed, it’s also worth dropping us a line as we may have had similar requests and be able to start the ball rolling somewhere. We can arrange for someone to come to your area for a minimum of 6 – 10 people. Call the office if that grabs you, and we can partner you up with a qualified Intro Course Leader.
