The Certification Program is expressly designed for students who want to dedicate themselves to developing Craniosacral therapy as a primary modality in their practice. It offers highly focused, in-depth training with the exploration, supervision, and feedback necessary for students to establish a successful Craniosacral practice. Being certified also allows the practitioner to market themselves with a tangible credential. Upon certification, with their permission, Crafted Touch lists practitioners on its website as part of its referral network. Students receive a certificate of completion upon satisfying the requirements of the program. The Certification Program moves students beyond the foundations of protocol-driven treatments to a wider range of treatment possibilities and fosters the skills of moment-to-moment decision making as well as the depth of presence that prepares them to accompany their clients through their discomfort, pain, and pathologies toward significant healing. The Core Series provides the foundation of craniosacral knowledge and application; the Elective Classes enable students to expand their technical and interpersonal skills following their own interests. The added time and study allow for deepening into the work within a supervised and collegial circle - honing their presence, personal depth, and trust in their therapeutic abilities. Initially developed by Ursula Popp, LAc, VCST and now further developed by Lauren Christman, LMT, CCST, ATSI/CBSI, this program is based on the philosophy and methods of A. T. Still and William Sutherland. The approach is also deeply influenced by the work of John Upledger, Hugh Milne, Jean-Pierre Barral, Tom Myers, Ida P. Rolf and biodynamic approaches.
