Upcoming Events
Full-Day Study Group with Hands-On Review led by Meghan McGrath & DeAnna Castleberry
One of the goals of The Upledger Institute is to teach people that they play the most active role in their own health. ShareCare workshops were designed by Dr. John E. Upledger specifically for persons with no prior knowledge of anatomy or physiology. Dr. Upledger Is the osteopathic physician who led the research team to establish the scientific basis for a craniosacral system. He has shown how the system could be used to evaluate and treat misunderstood malfunctions involving the brain, spinal cord, and a myriad of other health problems such as chronic pain, lowered vitality, recurring infections, etc.
ShareCare participants with no healthcare background can learn about the craniosacral system and its influence on their overall health. Presenters will introduce a few simple techniques designed to relieve headaches, reduce stress, control pain, promote relaxation, and to lead participants to a greater understanding of their role in their own health.

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.
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.
