This skill share and workshop is designed for practitioners who want to deepen their work with the cranial base and expand into additional therapies for the head and neck. It’s open to both new and past participants who want to build more clarity, confidence, and nuance in their manual work—especially around the head, neck, and cranial base.

We’ll begin with some review of suboccipital decompression and cranial base techniques. Returning students will refine their touch through supervised practice, while new participants will receive orientation to relevant anatomy, a demonstration and explanation of the technique, and time for questions and observation.

In the second half of the evening, we’ll move into further applications:

• Techniques for the upper thoracics

• Introduction to perceiving the cranial wave

• Discussion of clinical implications: autonomic tone, reading distal patterns, supporting and attuning to releases

This is an immersive, small-group training to gain more facility working at the delicate intersection of head, neck, and nervous system.

Our time together will include orientation to the structures we’ll be contacting, nuanced technique demonstration, guided partner practice, and time for questions and hands-on feedback. We will discuss essential anatomy, clinical context, and how to work with the nervous system in mind.

Limited to 6 participants.
