Subtle Hands-On Skills
In an atmosphere of acceptance, support and open inquiry we explore the sensitivity of our own hands. Using practical exercises we help each other discover and refine our capabilities. We learn how to assess, treat and restore subtle physical and energetic balance while we confirm for each other the authenticity of our experience. This is a great class for bodyworkers who have lost their way.
Understanding Infants: Reflexes, Skills, and Temperament
Most people aren’t quite sure how to engage with a baby in a way that supports their little brains. This course is designed for healthcare professionals and caregivers who want a deeper understanding of infant development.
CST for Infants
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. Very few CST training programs offer any infant treatment instruction. I teach from decades of experience, the midwifery model of care perspective and the baby’s point of view. I am passionate about getting these vital skills into the hands of ...
CST for Infants - Advanced Clinical Skills
This class gives students the opportunity to observe more demonstration treatments, continue practice under my supervision and participate in a group case review process.
CST for Infants - Virtual Case Reviews
This online gathering is a forum for discussing cases, asking questions and giving answers in a confidential peer group. The focus of our discussions will be Craniosacral Therapy for pre-crawling infants. This monthly group experience is free and only open to people who have studied CST for Infants with Carol Gray.
CST - The Basics
This class is the perfect next step after the three-day Subtle Hands-On Skills class. It’s a general Craniosacral Therapy class for people who want some tools for treating adults (not babies, not children, not necessarily pregnant and postpartum people). The skills learned in this class may be combined with what you already know and do or may be used as an effective stand-alone healing practice.
CST - Beyond The Basics
This is the next step after CST – The Basics. It’s a general Craniosacral Therapy class for people who want more advanced tools for treating adults (not babies, not children, not necessarily pregnant and postpartum people). The focus of this class is to gain more technical skills and weave those skills seamlessly into the fabric of our intuition and intention. This class is the prerequisite for the General CST Certification. It is also the prerequisite for CST for Pregnancy Birth & Postpartum.
CST for Pregnancy Birth & Postpartum
There is no question that Craniosacral Therapy is beneficial during pregnancy and postpartum. Yet, there are so few people to do this work. I have spent years developing the techniques I teach in this class. I am passionate about enhancing mobility in pregnant bodies. This includes the bony pelvis, the abdominal organs, plus the support structures and lower segment of the uterus.
Somato Emotional Release
Emotions are NOT separate from the physical, spiritual or energetic. We all store our life experiences in our bodies. Because CST techniques are both gentle and powerful, we can efficiently access the deepest places. We also carry the potential to unlock and resolve the trauma residue stored in the tissues. During a treatment clients may laugh, cry or remember something that previously was beyond conscious reach. This is the location of the deepest work and the moment of opportunity for the most profound change.
Somato Emotional Release Study Group
This monthly gathering is an opportunity to build skills, practice therapeutic dialog techniques and continue our own healing in a supervised peer group. This monthly group experience is free and only open to people who have studied Somato Emotional Release with Carol Gray.
Professional Ethics for Bodyworkers
Professional ethics can be tricky. Everyone experiences ethical dilemmas. While these situations may have common themes, they can ambush us when they’re disguised as something new. They may seem similar to our personal ethical dilemmas, but they might require different actions.
