Certification Process
Learn to attune to the Potency as expressed through the body and nature.
Through this receptive way of perceiving, practitioners learn to support the natural emergence of the system’s inherent Health while allowing patterns of inertia and restriction to reorganize under the guidance of the unerring Potency, not through applied techniques or force.
If you are interested in helping clients rest into a more profound sense of integrated wholeness and vitality, grounded in their body’s own ordering intelligence that fosters healing and the evolution of consciousness, we offer two different craniosacral certification paths.

Essentials of Craniosacral
This 2‑day course is a practical introduction to a non‑efferent, stillness‑based approach to craniosacral work. Students will be introduced to essential ways of sensing whole‑body stillness and the subtle expressions of primary respiration as the body’s intrinsic movements, rhythms, and pulsations reveal themselves. The orientation of this work is to support a natural return toward integrated wholeness by trusting the body’s inherent ordering force—the unerring potency—to lead, rather than imposing techniques or corrections.
Cranial Bones & Sutures
This 2‑day course deepens the foundational training offered in the Essentials of Craniosacral course by further cultivating the stillness‑based, non‑efferent disposition at the heart of this work. You will continue to develop your capacity for gentle touch that honors the body as a unified expression of the Breath of Life. Building on your prior experience, we will explore how to sense the cranial region within this whole‑body field—learning to orient inwards and recognizing how subtle intrinsic movements and rhythms reveal themselves through repose, without manipulating bones or sutures. Pre-requisite: Essentials of Craniosacral.
Facial Bones & Sutures
This 2‑day course deepens the foundational training offered in the Essentials of Craniosacral course by further cultivating the stillness‑based, non‑efferent disposition at the heart of this work. You will continue to develop your capacity for gentle touch that honors the body as a unified expression of the Breath of Life. Building on your prior experience, we will explore how to sense the facial region within this whole‑body field—learning to orient inwards and recognizing how subtle intrinsic movements and rhythms reveal themselves through repose, without manipulating bones or sutures. Pre-requisite: Essentials of Craniosacral.
Craniosacral Retreat
During this 4-day, overnight retreat, our daily practice will center on the awareness of the coherence of the heart and the line of stillness within the central channel. We will introduce and practice particular holds for this purpose.
The resonance of the self-existing heart radiance will serve as the fulcrum of our contact where the healing forces within ignite all unfolding.
From this heart‑centered stillness, the natural healing forces within are given space to ignite whatever unfolding is ready, making this retreat appropriate for those who wish to offer their most authentic work while allowing their own ongoing evolution and healing to deepen. Pre-requisite: Essentials of Craniosacral .

Come and relax in the luscious tropical setting of the Pacific shoreline. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace overlooking the ocean, stroll down the beach for a leisurely walk, or dip into the pool for a cooling swim.
Most of all, enjoy a peaceful few days sitting with yourself as you deepen your practice. Pre-requisite: Essentials of Craniosacral and either Cranial Bones & Sutures, or Facial Bones & Sutures, or both.
100 Hours of Practice Sessions
Keep a log of all practice sessions, including the client’s first name, date, length of practice session, your internal experience of the session, and any insights or challenges you encountered. Additionally, write down any questions you may have and bring them to your mentoring sessions.
Mentoring Sessions
During the learning process, you will meet with your teacher five times to practice the new skills, receive feedback, and get your questions answered as you progress in the work at your own pace.
While completing the certification process, you will keep a log of 100 practice sessions. At specific intervals, you will schedule a meeting with your teacher after you complete 5, 25, 50, 85, and then 100 sessions.
After completing 100 sessions, you will meet with your teacher for the final regularly scheduled mentoring session where you will demonstrate all the skills learned during your training. This session will evaluate your readiness to complete the foundational training and earn your certificate.
Instructor-Led Practice Sessions
An invaluable part of learning this practice is through personal experience of receiving craniosacral sessions. You will be required to receive at least five instructor-led practice sessions. Generally, these sessions will be scheduled on the same days you attend your five mentoring sessions. Through both the mentoring sessions and the instructor-led practice sessions, you will gain insights and fine tune your practice while experiencing the subtle nature of the this practice.
One-On-One Training
If you prefer to learn primarily in a one-on-one setting, take this training path privately with your mentor.
This intensive, 36-hour, hands-on, private, experiential learning course, along with the 24-hour Master Class, will teach you everything you need to earn the Foundational Training Craniosacral Certification.
