About The Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust
The Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust was founded by Michael Kern and Franklyn Sills in 1989, and is established as a school of excellence offering in-depth courses in a clear and accessible way.
Our trainings emphasise the development of practical skills to provide the required foundations to effectively practice Craniosacral Therapy in a professional capacity. Student learning is comprehensively supported by supervision and feedback from tutors, and clinical experience is gained during the latter stages of the training at the Trust's unique teaching clinic in London.
Within the school's "biodynamic" approach there is an emphasis to work in cooperation with the underlying forces that govern our health. This involves taking a whole person and patient centred approach to treatment that incorporates an appreciation of body, mind and spirit.
We have been at the cutting edge of the development of biodynamic Craniosacral practices and have a very experienced team of tutors including some of the leading teachers in the field. The Course Director of the school is Tracy Evans.
The Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust is fully accredited by the Craniosacral Therapy Association UK (CSTA), the Association Of Physical And Natural Therapies (APNT), and many other international Craniosacral practitioner associations. Graduates are also eligible for fast-track registration with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). The CSTA, APNT and CNHC are the professional bodies in the UK that maintain standards and protect both Craniosacral Therapy practitioners and their clients. Furthermore, we are an affiliated school with the British Complementary Medicine Association (BCMA) and graduates who register for membership can use the letters BCMA Reg. after their names.
Successful completion of the course leads to a professional diploma in Craniosacral Therapy and all graduates are awarded the designated letters BCST (Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist). The BCST award comes from the Trust as part of its membership of the International Affiliation of Biodynamic Trainings.
The Trust also offers:
- a comprehensive programme of continuing professional development courses with leading teachers of Craniosacral Therapy and allied fields.
- regular 'taster' introductory weekends in Craniosacral Therapy.
- an interactive and experiential Living Anatomy foundation course.
- a teaching clinic in London providing low cost Craniosacral Therapy treatments.
- landmark 'Breath of Life Conferences'.
- lovely room hire facilities for classes and seminars.
