Yup. That’s right. I completed my certification process on Thursday August 7, 2008! I spoke about my written exam and a bit about the certification process in this previous post.
I was unable to take my practical exam with the examiner in my city. But I believe it happened for a reason. I tested with an [...]

I have recently begun being a moderator for 2 bodywork threads over at BodyworkOnline.com. I am the co-moderator for:
Massage & Holistic Therapies (Techniques, modalities, etc.)
and
Student Forum
I’m pretty excited about this opportunity. I’ve never done anything like this before.
There are many posts about CranioSacral Therapy throughout the forums. I would love to see more CST therapists [...]

I have been reading Peter Levine’s book, Waking The Tiger: Healing Trauma. One of our CranioSacral Therapy instructors mentions this book in several classes. So, I thought it was time to buy it and read it. It has been a fascinating, very educational book about how trauma, of any kind, can get stuck in [...]

This book was just released on April 29, 2008 … so it’s hot off the presses. I have not received my copy yet, but when I do I will read it and post some of my thoughts.
If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts ….

I am on the program advisory committee for the massage program I attended. At our meeting yesterday, there were 7 of us in attendance.

How did most of your clients find out about you?

Having a website is so important for any business these days. Very few people use the phone book anymore to find a local business. The vast majority of people use the web to find information about retailers and services that are right down the street from where they live. Because of this, it is extremely [...]

So I haven’t updated since day one of my class, The Brain Speaks. Over the four days, I was getting up and leaving much earlier than I usually do; and when I got home I was pretty tired and still mentally and physically processing the work I received. So, I couldn’t get it together to [...]

Yesterday was day one of my class, The Brain Speaks. I don’t have a lot of time right now to give details (I need to leave in about 20 minutes) but here’s a quick look …
After introductions we spent the morning talking about cellular anatomy and physiology: Neurons, glial cells, organelles, neuronal impulse conduction, neurotransmitters [...]
