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 [...]

For those who don’t know, I have been working on my CranioSacral Certification through the Upledger Institute. It is a very thorough process that involves a written essay exam, practical hands-on testing and an objective multiple choice exam. I became a certification applicant back in April of 2006. From April 2006 to April 2008 I [...]

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 a couple points to discuss.
First, yes extra training is recommended. In Upledger CST training, we spend a morning in CSTII talking about working with newborns and children. At this stage we do not recommend that therapists start working with [...]

I have been involved in a discussion over at BodyworkOnline.com regarding infant CranioSacral Therapy. (Read full post here.) But I thought I would post my responses here as well. They are fairly detailed and contain quite a bit of information regarding CranioSacral Therapy during gestation, labor and delivery. Here’s my first post on the [...]

I am on the program advisory committee for the massage program I attended. At our meeting yesterday, there were 7 of us in attendance. I can bring up CranioSacral Therapy in just about any topic being discussed. I love talking about it and educating people about this amazing work. (Hence, the blog you are visiting.)  [...]

I’ve been reading a lot the past few days about Hannah Poling and the court case which is going to make it very difficult for the government to claim that there is ‘no link between vaccines and autism’. Check out these two articles for more info:
