Course Description
In this workshop you’ll learn gentle techniques to normalize the craniosacral system and allow the body to self-correct. Few systems have as much impact on the human body as the craniosacral system. It protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord – and affects nearly every aspect of central nervous system performance. That’s why CranioSacral Therapy is so critical to your healthcare practice. Developed after years of university research and testing, it allows you to release fascial restrictions anywhere on the body that may be impinging the craniosacral system and every other system it interacts with. By unraveling pain and dysfunction at the source, you’ll naturally help eliminate stress, strengthen resistance to disease, and enhance health in every dimension.
Course Outcomes
By the end of this 4-day workshop you should be able to:
- Describe the scientific foundation and principles of CranioSacral Therapy – and why it’s the key to relieving pain and dysfunction at their source
- Demonstrate finely tuned palpation skills you can rely on as highly sensitive and intuitive healthcare tools
- Identify the subtle craniosacral rhythm and interpret its patterns to accurately evaluate dysfunction and improvements
- Locate the source of physical problems by travelling through the fascial system, that complex web of tissue that impacts all body structures and systems
- Release dural tube restrictions to enhance interactions between the central nervous system and the rest of the body
- Use techniques that produce dramatic health and relaxation effects, including Direction of Energy and Still-Point Induction
- Work with approaches to a number of common ailments such as TMJ dysfunction, head and neck pain, central nervous system disorders and many more
- Put a simple, effective 10-Step Protocol into practice right away

Course Description
SomatoEmotional Release® is a manual therapy process developed by Dr. Upledger that expands on the core principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the body of the residual effects of past trauma and negative emotional experiences. By gaining a deeper understanding of the self-healing paradigm at the core of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy, you’ll learn how to support the body to do what it knows how to do best: heal itself.
In SER1, we introduce an unbiased communication method based on curiosity, openness, and imagery that helps therapists to become neutral, non-judgmental facilitators in another person’s healing process. Therapists learn to support clients, as clients become more mindful about their own body-mind-spirit and start to access deep, self-healing resources.
As a student in SER1, you’ll embark on a journey of discovery and transformation that will not only impact your clients, but also enrich you personally. You will learn about the physiological and psycho-emotional mechanisms of disease, and will participate in hands-on and verbal exercises to facilitate the SomatoEmotional Release process. SER1 offers applications designed to enhance results using CST and other complementary therapies.
Course Outcomes
By the end of this 4-day workshop you should be able to:
- Assess and mobilize the Avenue of Expression, a network of more than 10 structures, including the thoracic inlet, hard palate, tongue, and hypoglossal tissues.
- Explore the concept of the Inner Physician and learn to connect with your own inner wisdom.
- Work with clients’ images and belief systems through a non-confrontational, non-judgmental communication process.
- Explore how suppressed emotions trapped in the body may create resistances and barriers, and may be inhibiting complete structural releases.
- Demonstrate how to integrate hands-on techniques with verbal dialoguing skills and other methods that emphasize self-healing.
- Release blockages in the body’s many energetic systems, including chakras, meridians, and vectors.
- Refine therapeutic presence, listening, and comprehension skills.
- Practice locating and releasing Energy Cysts.
- Improve palpation and whole-body evaluation skills.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician Dr John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
SomatoEmotional Release
SER is a therapeutic process that uses and expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma. SERI offers applications designed to enhance results using CST and other complementary therapies.
