Learn the Foundations That Matter

Explore the anatomy and physiology that underpin Craniosacral Therapy—from the nervous system, cranial bones and cerebrospinal fluid to fascia and the wider body. Rather than looking at these structures in isolation, we’ll begin to explore their relationships and the body as an interconnected whole.

Develop Your Practitioner Presence

Explore the foundations of practitioner presence through grounding, fulcrum, safety, consent and therapeutic relationship. Throughout the course, you’ll be invited to notice not only what is happening beneath your hands, but also what is happening within you—recognising how your own comfort, awareness and presence shape the quality of therapeutic contact.

Master Subtle Palpation & Embodied Listening

Develop the perceptual skills at the heart of craniosacral work- learning to notice qualities of tissue tone, temperature, symmetry, stillness, and movement. Move beyond technique to genuine listening through touch—respecting the body's inherent wisdom and capacity for self-regulation.

About the Course

This introductory course is for anyone curious about Craniosacral Therapy—whether you’re encountering the work for the first time, have experienced CST yourself, are considering further training, or already work as a massage therapist, bodyworker, somatic practitioner, yoga teacher or complementary therapist. Instead of memorizing techniques, you'll learn to cultivate curiosity, observation, and embodied awareness. Through video teaching, practical demonstrations, guided audio practices, and self-reflection exercises, you'll discover a simple framework for understanding the craniosacral treatment process: engaging, allowing, following, release or reorganization, and integration. You'll explore practical contacts throughout the body—from the heart center and solar plexus to foundational cranial work—all while developing the relational skills needed to work safely and sensitively with clients. By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of Craniosacral Therapy and a practical foundation to begin exploring therapeutic touch with confidence and presence. Ready to transform how you touch and listen? Enroll today and take the first step toward becoming a more skilled, aware, and compassionate practitioner.

Meet the Teacher,  Lizette Villaverde RCST

As an accredited international Craniosacral Teacher, I'm passionate about teaching Craniosacral Therapy in a way that honors both the science and the art of healing touch. Over my past 12 years of teaching and practice, I've discovered that the most transformative work happens when we shift from 'doing' to 'being'—from trying to fix things to genuinely listening to what the body is communicating.  This course is built on that philosophy. I've integrated trauma-informed, biodynamic approaches because I believe practitioners need to understand not just the 'what' and 'how,' but the 'why' behind therapeutic touch. I've also learned that your own presence, safety, and self-awareness are just as important as any technique. I created this course to make some of these ideas more accessible beyond the treatment room and the professional training environment. It brings together anatomy and physiology, practical exploration, practitioner awareness and the relational qualities that sit at the heart of this work. My hope is that it gives you a grounded and accessible way into Craniosacral Therapy, while leaving plenty of space for your own curiosity and experience. My hope is that you develop the perceptual skills, confidence, and embodied awareness needed to work with clients in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and deeply effective. Whether you're just starting out or deepening an existing practice, I'm excited to guide you on this journey.

Such a thoughtful introduction to craniosacral work. There is so much depth here, but it never feels overwhelming. I particularly loved the combination of anatomy, nervous system understanding, grounding practices and the more subtle aspects of listening to the body.
