Ashiatsu massage is a unique form of massage therapy that originates from Asia. The word "ashiatsu" literally means "foot pressure" in Japanese, which is an accurate description of this technique.
During an ashiatsu massage, the therapist uses their feet to apply deep, broad pressure to the client's body. The therapist typically stands on a massage table or stool while holding onto overhead bars for balance and support. They use their feet, heels, and toes to deliver a controlled amount of pressure to different areas of the client's body, including the back, legs, and shoulders.
The therapist can adjust the amount of pressure based on the client's preferences and needs. Ashiatsu massage is known for its ability to provide a deep, therapeutic massage experience. The broad pressure applied by the therapist's feet can reach deeper layers of muscle tissue, helping to release tension, knots, and tightness. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who require deep tissue work or have chronic pain or tension. In addition to its therapeutic benefits, ashiatsu massage also offers a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. The rhythmic movements and fluid strokes of the therapist's feet can induce a deep state of relaxation, reducing stress and promoting overall well-being.
Overall, ashiatsu massage is a unique and effective form of massage therapy that combines deep tissue work with a sense of relaxation. It can be a beneficial treatment option for those seeking relief from muscle tension, chronic pain, or simply looking to relax and unwind.

I am delighted to present this three day, 18 hour course in Craniosacral Therapy from the Biodynamic Perspective. In this small group setting (6-10 students) you are invited to experience the beauty and effectiveness of this growing field; to play and to discover ways to bring more ease and heart to any kind of therapy practice.
"Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry of this other silence. it is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing."
- Rachel Naomi Reman
Silence and stillness are foundational principles in this work. It is my intention in this training to guide you in your ability to rest into the support of universal forces, to orient to the profound and seemingly limitless intelligence of what we call the Breath of Life and its tidal expression as Primary Respiration
This is an excerpt from an email I have just sent to my clients, this is the kind of work and possibility that we are engaged in. In this class you are also the client you have these possibilities available to you in the space of our group classwork together. And this is in large part your work, in learning to practice in this way. It is a powerful space and experience in which you will also be learning skills of perception to be with your clients.
"I want to take a moment to share some insights about BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy as it has unfolded over the last few years in working with you.
Craniosacral Therapy is bodywork and consciousness work. It is helping your nervous system to relax and open to freeing the held energies that have been held in your body, causing you pain, a feeling of stuckness, fear, anxiety, unclear thinking or lost in thoughts and belief systems of the past. It's like coming home to our original blueprint our wholeness.
We open back up to our original first breath (we call it in this work, primary respiration) the one we've had since our conception. We are being breathed by and breathing with the "Breath of Life" - a divine reciprocity that returns us to our natural state of innocence and wholeness.
We are working with our consciousness - going deep into our subconscious to free the unconscious. to free the unaccepted, unacknowledged parts of ourselves, that have not felt safe to express or even to know. As this awareness unfolds, we can begin to breath with the breath of life out into the spaciousness of our natural divine connection to wholeness and belonging.
In this work together, as the body relaxes into a sense of safety and rest, underneath the surface levels of nervous system activation (as one teacher put it "we have a "nervous" nervous system) as the body rests under and beyond that state, it's story begins to tell itself. This newfound awareness in a space of safety and trust, allows these energies and stories to unravel and release. Then it becomes possible to come home to our senses, to feeling in the present moment to present time reality, what is actually here.
We begin to feel and to feel free to receive and express love more fully to enjoy our life, our family, our relationships. We are able to make healthy boundaries through clear communication, without blame or shame.
This can be a gradual or not so gradual awakening. The timing is not ours - yours or mine - it is in the hands of the Tide, the movement and the divine wisdom of the breath of life that is moving through us, always expressing into our fluid bodes its intentions for our unfolding health and consciousness."
In this very experiential class you will:
Experience the balancing strength and clarity of your own ever-present midline
Meet your Fluid Body: fluid origins, fluid systems and fluid health
Develop awareness and settling of the relational field
Discuss basic relational needs and how they can be met within the safe relational holding field of session work
Explore the felt sense of resource for ourselves and how to help the client develop their own felt sense
Daily guided meditations to grow and deepen your sense of presence and sensory awareness
Daily hands on practice sessions
Training in and practicing these skills can help you to offer your clients:
A more resilient nervous system
A sense of Peace and Calm, Groundedness and Presence
Strengthen their immune system
Release pain and Restriction
Connect with their relationship to the Breath of Life, our deepest foundational resource
"Over time as we develop our skills of presence and perception, we settle more and more deeply into the rhythms of Primary Respiration, slowing down until we know ourselves as something deeper, slower, smoother, softer, wider than our everyday personalities. We find ourselves becoming one with the stillness that is us, that is beyond us. We sense ourselves returning, together with our client, to the beginning, prior to the hurts and traumas of our personal histories. Like the early embryo, we float within the full potential of what life has to offer. This is the heart of Craniosacral Biodynamics." Cherionna Menzam-Sills
Four years ago, following a three year, 700 hour foundation course with Margery Chessare and Turtle Back Craniosacral Education, I became certified as a BCST, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist.
This way of working and perceiving has changed my life; the way that I work with clients, and has profoundly transformed the way that I teach Craniosacral Therapy.
"After taking Intro to Craniosacral Therapy I & II with Rose, I felt very confident to begin practicing CST with my clients...all of whom loved it! I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn more and begin implementing this modality into their practice. Rose is thorough and thoughtful, which provided a great environment to learn in." Karyssa Jackson, LMT
Because this work and this training is both so experiential, and so focused on developing your skills of perception; developing you and your relational skills, many of my students take these trainings multiple times. Although you cannot use the hours for upgrading your license, you can use them for your biannual requirements.
If you are ready to take you and your practice to a deeper level of healing relationship, with yourself, and with your clients, call or text me to register.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Accessing the inherent healing power of the body with gentle somatic touch. I am excited to offer these two very experiential trainings in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
These courses will grow your skills of Perceptual Awareness, Presence and and understanding of our Three Bodies: physical, fluid and tidal as well as how to access awareness in each field.
Here is a brief article that will help you understand what this beautiful practice is all about:
There are inherent, intelligent and unexplained forces that create and maintain the human body.
Every second, 10 million cells are destroyed in the body, and have to be replaced immediately and precisely, otherwise the body would explode or dissolve. There is no way to predict where the cells will be destroyed. And yet - every minute, our bodies continue to re-produce themselves and we don’t even notice.
When we were formed as embryos, we first existed as fluid dynamics - before genes and neurons, fluid dynamics impeccably shaped our bodies.
What are the mysterious forces that reliably create and sustain life? What goes awry when they no longer function and disease, dysfunction and pain take over?
These are the questions at the heart of the practice of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST). While these mysteries go unexplained by modern science, the founders and innovators in the field of BCST found that there are subtle fluctuations and movements in the body, and that when these movements (which are the expression of the Breath of Life as the Tides, also referred to as the natural biorhythms in and around the body) are augmented by therapeutic listening, patients recovered from a host of conditions.
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle therapeutic approach based on the Osteopathic discovery of micro-movements in the body. Through extensive experimentation, early osteopathic physicians determined that when this motion has full expression, many conditions improve. The name “Craniosacral” specifically indicates the importance of the central structures of the body including cranium, spine and sacrum.
At its start, the work was very manipulative, but later practitioners discovered that less and less intervention was needed in order to make substantial and also dramatic changes, and that creating a supportive environment so that the client’s system generates therapeutic change from within, was actually very effective. This more subtle approach to the work was called “Biodynamic” Craniosacral Therapy.
A skilled biodynamic craniosacral practitioner listens to the subtle pulsations of the system as the body tells its story. The body speaks through its natural biorhythms, micro-movements and especially through its experience-managing patterns of physical shaping. With deep listening the practitioner encourages revitalization of the inherent healing potential of the system, and supports the Breath of Life in the release of resistance patterns. This approach emphasizes hearing the health of the system and encouraging its expression.
Craniosacral Therapy involves gentle hands-on work that honors the client’s own self-healing process. The intention is not to fix problems, but rather to encourage the emergence of new levels of order in mind and body. Practitioners know how to recognize the presence of the Breath of Life in many levels and locations of the body, and use appropriate methods to support and nurture its natural expression.
You may take either class (Cranial Sacral I or II), they do not have to be taken in order.
