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.

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.
