Body Balancing Workshops

For over 15 years Ruth has been working with babies, children and adults offering gentle Craniosacral Therapy with Myofascial Unwinding services. This hands-on workshop is for parents and prospective practitioners who want to learn what over a decade of experience and training has taught Ruth. Level 1 of this workshop is designed to teach the basics of CST and Myofascial release for workshop graduates to administer to their children and other loved ones. Levels 2 and 3 are designed as a deeper dive for those that want to go further with their knowledge and skills. Students receive a Certificate of Completion for each level completed on the last day of class. Syllabus for Levels 1 – 3.

Learn Body Balancing Techniques in Your Home!
I have been training people to use craniosacral and myofascial techniques to treat their own family (and friends) to help bring their loved ones into balance.  I have had the pleasure of working with small groups—which I truly love.

Students come away from these trainings with real-life skills and knowledge to start helping their families feel better. My students tell me beautiful stories of helping relieve pain that is literally life-changing—and this is why I have always wanted to teach others these skills.

What Workshop Students Are Saying

Ruth’s class was truly a blessing. We have helped many of our family and friends with their pain using what we learned in Ruth’s CST class. It’s quite amazing when “following” the fascia and your hand stops. It usually is an injury that happened when they were a teenager, or an accident that was 20 years ago, a surgery that was 15 years ago, and with CST your touch brings life back to that hard, wound-up fascia, and it becomes warm and alive again and begins relief for the person!
