Talking to the Heart: 32 hrs CEU
In this class, you will go beyond working in total silence. You will practice the use of your “original voice” and help your client to do the same. Intelligence of cells and organs will be engaged and you will speak directly to structures inside the body. Techniques on how to release blockages from around your own heart and heart protector and those of your client will be covered. Since Cranio is dependent on the love that the practitioner can allow, everyone who wants to claim this ability has to make sure their heart is as free and open as possible.

Highly inspirational and respected teacher in the field of CranioSacral, Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio, during an immersive meditation and bodywork training.
Etienne describes Cranio as the the closest thing to that wonderful silence he found during his near death experience, and from that time, 31 years ago, it became his life's passion.
His journey led him first to apprentice at the Upledger Institute in Florida, then teach at Bastyr University in Washington and the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. He is the founder of Etienne Peirsman Cranio as well as the CranioSacral Therapy Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society.
Author of the pioneering book, "Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children" published by Penguin Random House, Etienne is about to publish his second book "Tantric Aspects of CranioSacral".
It is truly a unique experience to learn Cranio from such a passionate, talented teacher who infuses his classes with good humor and a deep dive into stillness. He strives to use simple language that engages our spontaneity.
His methods are the middle ground between biomechanics Upledger style and biodynamic Sutherland style.
In his classes, students learn to start from a no-mind space, a place where the mind can take a vacation, allowing their practice to unfold in non-duality, or what he calls the Midline.
He emphasizes the power of touch to stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that brings a feeling of oneness and values clarity as the result of being in touch with that Midline that connects us with our life-force, our true and infinite potential.
Etienne travels the world with his life partner Toshiko, teaching where he is invited to share this opportunity of radical self transformation.
