Learn Craniosacral Therapy — A Gentle Technique That Gets Powerful Results
Add a highly effective, low-strain therapy to your massage practice using a clear, step-by-step protocol.
Beginner-friendly. Practical. Easy on your body.
WHAT THIS COURSE IS
This beginner’s certificate course teaches you a simple 3-step Craniosacral Therapy (CST) protocol you can confidently use with massage clients.
CST works by supporting the nervous system rather than forcing tissue — making it ideal for clients dealing with pain, stress, and overload, and for therapists who want a more sustainable way to work.
WHY THERAPISTS USE CST
Craniosacral Therapy is commonly used with clients who have:
- Chronic pain (headaches, migraines, TMJ, neck and back pain)
- High stress and nervous system tension
- Emotional holding and fatigue
- Slow recovery after injury or illness
Many therapists use CST when massage alone hasn’t been enough.
WHY THIS IS GOOD FOR YOU
- Expand your skill set without adding physical strain
- Offer a specialized service clients don’t find everywhere
- Improve client retention with deeper, longer-lasting results
- Protect your body and extend your career
WHAT YOU GET
- Full CST beginner certificate course
- 40-page CST workbook
- CST eBook + research articles
- Certificate of completion
