Craniosacral Therapy: Pediatric Population

Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy: Hands-On Techniques for Children

This course is designed to help practitioners confidently and effectively use Craniosacral Therapy with pediatric patients. Through hands-on practice with children of various ages, you’ll learn strategies for working with both kids and their parents, review developmental milestones, and explore common pediatric conditions and patterns. Dr Christensen has spent the last 25 years in practice working specifically with women and children. She brings her clinical experience in working with children as a Naturopathic doctor and craniosacral practitioner.

You’ll gain practical skills and techniques specifically tailored to the pediatric population, including direct releases and advanced approaches that support growth, healing and optimal physical alignment.

Understand skull formation and ossification ages

Build rapport with parents and children, including considerations for autism, ADD, and sensory integration

This course is perfect for practitioners who want to expand their pediatric practice with confidence, skill, and sensitivity. Focus is on working with children of all ages. Working with newborns will be generally addressed. More specific work with babies will be discussed in a future class.
