The work I do with infants is efficient, powerful and lasting. I have seen amazing results. There are so many infants who would benefit from this therapy and so few people to treat them. I believe that if infants get early treatment they are more likely to realize their life’s potential and less likely to need ongoing care.

Only a few craniosacral therapy training programs offer any infant treatment instruction. They all require students to complete many levels of expensive training before they can learn to treat infants. The training, sadly, tends to be fear-based and pathology-focused. I teach from the midwifery model of care perspective and from the baby’s point of view. I am passionate about getting these vital skills into the hands of people who can help mothers and babies. I believe that the beginning of life is where the work should begin.

Prerequisite: Subtle Hands-On Skills  is the required prerequisite for this class. This requirement will be waved only if you have already studied CST with Carol Gray. This requirement will not be waived if you have studied CST elsewhere.

In addition, students should be licensed, certified or student health professionals (CNM, CPM, DC, DO, IBCLC, LAc, LDEM, LM, LMT, MD, ND, NP, OT, PT, RN, etc.) or otherwise legally entitled to practice touch therapy or with instructor approval.

While not required, students are encouraged to receive at least one craniosacral therapy treatment prior to taking this class.

Overview: This five-day class includes an infant anatomy review plus lectures, demonstrations and lots of supervised hands-on practice with classmates and babies. In order to maximize learning success class enrollment is limited to six students.
