Module 1: Foundations of Craniosacral Therapy

You will gain an understanding of how to approach and interact with the Craniosacral system and feel the different rhythms of the body. 

 You will learn how to attune your hands and presence to the body’s natural healing processes, gaining an understanding of how the Craniosacral system influences and affects the entire body—from the physical to the emotional and beyond.

✨"Healing isn't something you have to seek on the outside"✨Everything with a soul can naturally achieve it. All the elements necessary for healing are present within you. Sometimes, the soul is uplifted to vibrate on a higher frequency—by beauty, inspiration, awe, insight, letting go, shifting, releasing and a profound knowing touch. It's through the immense inner power of our own creation that the journey of healing begins"💫 Dorine Siccama
