Our first hour is a lecture and demonstration on the topic of the month, followed by an hour of practice on that topic. The last two hours are for open practice, trades, and discussions related to CranioSacral Therapy. The recommended donation is $50.

If you are interested in scheduling private study group sessions or organizing a study group for topics beyond CS2, please contact me via email to discuss the details.
1:1 Tutoring:
Want personal help? Book a session during my patient hours. You can ask questions and try skills. Please bring a partner to practice with. My tutoring rate is $110 per hour.
Co-treating:
If you’re working with someone and feel they need extra help from a more experienced practitioner, they can establish care with me, then, with their permission, you can join the treatment session. Afterwards, we will conduct a 60-minute one-on-one tutoring session to review the treatment and address any questions you may have.
A note on professional trades:
I know that trading services with other providers is standard practice and can be a great learning tool, but I need to keep my care separate from the care I provide. If you want to trade services with another CranioSacral Therapist, try connecting with classmates from CST classes. IAHP medallion members can use their class rosters with contact info to do this.
Other Resources for CST Practitioners:
There is no need to feel isolated as a CST practitioner! Get involved with your community and other study groups. I have been active in all of the resources listed below at one point in time, and I highly recommend them:
CST Mastery, Susan Steiner’s online mentorship site, is a treasure trove of hours of helpful videos. It's a unique platform that enables you to gain a comprehensive and interactive understanding of CST and the SER process.
Karen Axelrod’s study groups and mentorship: An excellent resource for digging deep on anatomy and preparing for the techniques exam.
The Association for Bodymindspirit Therapy: Eric Moya’s website offers a wealth of valuable resources, classes, and mentorship opportunities.
International Association of Healthcare Practitioners: This is the location of your therapist profile and medallion membership information. Be sure to keep your profile updated!
Upledger Alumni Facebook Page: A great place to interact with your fellow CST practitioners and search for wisdom on tricky conditions/situations.
