Study Groups
I am a technique certified CranioSacral Therapist looking for Upledger CranioSacral Therapy (CST) practitioners who want to review, deepen and practice applying the wonders of this work in a small study group setting located within the triangulated city hospitals of UC Davis, Sutter Hospital and Dignity Health.
In 1996, I attended my first CranioSacral Therapy workshop and afterward struggled because I couldn’t feel the craniosacral rhythm. Frustrated, I put the work aside to study other modalities until a local practitioner decided to hold regular study groups. It is through attending these study groups, receiving regular private CST sessions, taking a minimum of one workshop per year, becoming a teaching assistant, and getting technique certified that I have a successful CranioSacral Therapy practice today.
Exploring the endless wonders of the craniosacral system, through CranioSacral Therapy is my passion and commitment that continuously feeds me. The gift of patience to hold space for the unfolding growth of clients on my table is a remarkable treasure.
If you have a learning style that needs to see, hear, feel, sense and apply over and again, please come.
It’s time for me to pay it forward. I am truly grateful to all the Upledger Instructors, especially Melinda Naye, and the personnel at the institute for their dedication to the continuing evolution of this work.
I launched my first study group in January 2020. After a COVID pause, I restarted my study groups in September 2023.
