View Classes Tuitions

The Cranial Sacral Unwinding specialty is a grounded, therapeutic modality perfect for the individual looking to connect the harmony and fluid nature of the body on both physical and emotional levels. This craniosacral therapeutic modality offers specialty training for the health care professional, ideal for the body worker, massage therapist, chiropractor and physical therapist; anyone working in the healing arts with the body.

What is Cranial Sacral Therapy?

First developed by John Upledger in 1971 while he was assisting a neurosurgery, the term Cranial Unwinding, also referred to as craniosacral therapy, creates a balance between the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and the dura mater in the spine. By creating a natural balance, the fluid in the brain can move freely to the spine, therefore spreading its natural healing power throughout the body.

What We Teach

Our Cranial Unwinding program teaches the practitioner how to use their palpation skills, to get into harmony, resonance and rapport with the fluidic nature of the body. Students also learn how to palpitate the connective tissues throughout the body to assist in the innate healing process of the client.

The SWIHA program teaches the treatment of the connective tissue system throughout the body, from the tip of the toes to the top of the head. Students learn how to approach the client with healthy boundaries, honor the person and their innate healing process, and create a relationship that is non-invasive and client centered. Upon completion of this program students receive a certificate that acknowledges they have met a basic competency in classical, contemporary and esoteric craniosacral techniques. Cranial Unwinding is offered as a primary specialty in MT-700, MT-1000, BW 600, Mind-Body Transformational Psychology and Holistic Health Care AOS Degrees.

This client centered modality can be a transformational process for any client. Students also experience their own healing transformation during the training. It has been suggested that a warning needs to come with this set of classes: BE READY FOR TRANSFORMATION. YOUR ISSUES ARE IN YOUR TISSUES.
