Home - Institute of Craniosacral Studies

We were founded in 1999 to meet the needs of those wishing to study Craniosacral Therapy. The discipline has broadened and diversifiied over recent decades and we aim to present the many different ways that it can be applied.

The combination of technical skills, theoretical knowledge and personal development contained in our courses means students are able to develop their own unique approach.

The Institute of Craniosacral Studies offers a Two-year Professional Training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

The Biodynamic model approaches the body as a process to be engaged with, rather than an object to be fixed. The training grounds students in an understanding of the interactions that exist between our anatomy and physiology and the bioenergetic and biospiritual forces that animate us. The Institute draws from the pioneering work of Dr. William Garner Sutherland and the ongoing developments that have informed and continue to inform the practice of Craniosacral Therapy. Whilst placing the Biodynamic approach at the heart of the work, the training honours the broad continuum of approaches to Craniosacral Therapy. This allows students to develop an integrated and Holistic understanding of the potential inherent in Craniosacral work.

The Institute is fully accredited by the Craniosacral Therapy Association of the UK, which is the professional body that regulates standards in the United Kingdom. All graduates are eligible to register with the association upon graduating.
