FAQ's

Do I need to do the courses in sequence?

The courses are all designed to stand-alone and there is no need to complete them sequentially.

Do I have to be a cranial osteopath already?

Prior experience with the involuntary or cranial mechanism is NOT essential, althought helpful, as some of the techniques are based on cranio-sacral approaches.
