Your Practice
The Integrative Craniosacral Unwinding program teaches treatment and holding space for the cerebrospinal fluid, autonomic nervous system, and connective tissue system throughout the body, including classical, contemporary and esoteric craniosacral techniques.
Craniosacral is a therapeutic modality that offers a specialty training for the body worker, massage therapist, chiropractor, physical therapist, or anyone working in the healing arts with the body.

Non-Invasive
Comprehensive Training
Craniosacral Unwinding teaches a thorough 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 noninvasive and client centered.
As the person’s core energy becomes related to the work you have done, the tissue and the consciousness reorganize around the highest intelligence in the body and the work goes out far into their lives.

Healing
Through The Fascia
Craniosacral therapy is process work which speaks the language of cellular reality. The student learns to contact the tissue, the rhythm within the tissue, and move with the tissue in a way that honors the way the cells move – getting in touch with the cellular memory – which leads into the places that have become devitalized or overcharged.
A relationship is established between the tissue (which holds much of the unconscious memory) and the core energy in the body. The client thus becomes connected to the primary core of energy (PRR) which enables them to: relax tension, release energy blocks and open the energy pathways in the body, restore balance, and promote revitalization.

POLARITY THERAPY
Polarity Therapy was developed by Dr. Randolph Stone (1890-1981), an osteopath, chiropractor, and naturopath who sought to integrate Eastern and Western approaches to healing modalities such as reflexology, acupressure, craniosacral balancing, yoga, and Ayurveda.
Polarity works with life energy in all of its forms, using a comprehensive system of bodywork, exercise, nutritional guidance, and verbal counseling to bring body, mind, emotions, and spirit into a state of balance, harmony and vibrant health.

COMPREHENSIVE
HEALING
But Polarity is more than just a collection of techniques - at is heart is a set of principles about the balance and flow of life energy which Dr. Stone believed to be the underlying essence of all healing arts.
This is attested to by the growing number of health care professionals, such as nurses chiropractors, physical therapist, creative arts therapists, and massage therapists. When we are truly well, our bodies vibrate vitality and our thoughts and emotions are in alignment with our soul's truth. Polarity serves as the key to unlock the door to the source, thereby allowing for genuinely new choices.

INTELLIGENT
TECHNIQUES
Utilizing hands-on and off the body contacts, toning, breathing and gentle counseling techniques, this work embodies a full holistic health care system, and can be used to empower other modalities as well. Polarity Therapy works at the level of sub-atomic physics.
