Our Craniosacral Therapy Foundations course gives participants a comprehensive skill set to perform craniosacral therapy in a variety of clinical settings.

It is comprised of 3 modules, taught over two 3-day, hands-on, in-person workshop focused on developing “listening hands”, learning the main craniosacral releases, and addressing important areas related to the craniosacral system, such as the jaw, thoracolumbar fascia, and cervical fascia.

Since understanding the relevant anatomy and physiology of the body greatly improves our hands-on work, we provide online lectures in the associated anatomy and physiology to complement our in-person training. Students are expected to review the online materials before our in-person time together.

What Past Students Are Saying

Don't take our word for it ;-)

The training is fantastic

L.B. (Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

The training is fantastic. Michael and the teaching assistants provided a safe and supportive learning environment that allowed me to sink deeply into the practice and gain confidence in my ability to support my patients with this subtle, gentle, and powerful healing modality.

Integrity and intentionality

M.H. (Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

There is so much integrity and intentionality to the the course. It's a pleasure to be a part of and makes the learning effortless.

A deep dive into the theory and anatomy to engage your brain

M.B. (Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

Cranial Sacral therapy is a subtle and effective technique to layer into your current practice. MMI provides a deep dive into the theory and anatomy to engage your brain, and practice with a variety of clear and valuable techniques to improve your skills. The hybrid model allows for learning in your own time, and the in person workshops provide a cohort for you to learn with, and two full days of hands on practical time with the instructors.

They teach solid practical skills and a treatment approach that builds practitioner confidence

M.H. Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

Michael and the MMI teaching assistants will take you on a most nourishing dive into the cranial sacral system and the practitioner-patient relationship. It’s not to be missed if you’re interested in the intersections of cranial rhythms, nervous systems, interpersonal biology, and anatomy. They teach solid practical skills and a treatment approach that builds practitioner confidence. Nuanced anatomy lessons provide an anchor for your “listening hands”. It’s more than skills and anatomy lessons though. It’s a whole world view built on the principle of “the direction of ease.” These modules will meet you where you are and help you deepen your medicine and your hands’ sensitivity. Don’t miss it.

The lectures are bite-sized, engaging, and knowledge dense

M.B. (Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

Most of us are pretty wary of Hybrid courses right now. There are only so many hours we can stare at screens. This CS Hybrid series is not like that at all. The lectures are bite-sized, engaging, and knowledge dense. They link directly to the work we do in the Clinical Workshops. Michael and his assistants are outstanding practitioners who are quick to share their decades of experience in the context of their new insights working with the anatomy. There isn't another course like this that will get you from "never done this before" to "really comfortable and curious to explore more".

Truly a priceless experience

R.G. (Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

This is not your general weekend continuing education class, this is a class that will assist you in developing your skills, style and intuition to be a cranial sacral practitioner. the community, the content, the teacher and the other students reached well beyond my expectations. truly a priceless experience.

Amazed with the confidence, clarity, and insight I've gained

L.J. (Craniosacral Therapy cohort participant)

I think everyone has done an excellent job! I'm so impressed with the clarity of the content, the quality of teaching, and the support offered. I am truly amazed with the confidence, clarity, and insight I've gained through these 6 months of learning and practicing.
