Dr. Stephanie Wenig
“I took this course to gain more knowledge about SOT and to have more clinical certainty with applying cranial work in practice. Having this knowledge will take your practice to another level, advance your adjusting skills, and seek out different protocols. This seminar gave me even more conviction to get more babies under care to make sure they have the most connected nervous system.
I am working with a baby with moderate/severe plagiocephaly and torticollis. The pediatrician wants to get the baby in a helmet. The baby will only want to nurse on one side. Under care now, mom has noticed the baby will comfortably nurse on both sides without looking just one way. Great progress has been noticed on the cranial work too!
Absolutely would recommend this program. Nowhere else are you getting the knowledge and the hands-on experience like you get at this seminar. It will elevate your adjusting skills and bring them to a whole other level. My experience in this seminar has far exceeded my expectations. The philosophy, science and art were addressed in a way that you can bring back the knowledge and skills to start applying the next day in practice. Other chiropractors should attend this course for the certainty in their head, heart, and hands.
We all know how important it is to get your nervous system checked, but explaining the importance at different milestones was amazing to hear again. That really connects the parents to care as well. Thank you for your time dedicated to this research and profession!”

My three takeaways:
Very in-depth cranial adjusting, more confidence in visual analysis, overall more comfortability and confidence working with infants.This program has helped me serve more babies and families, which has helped to create more ease in families. It has led me down a path of pediatric adjusting that I didn’t know existed and am excited to continue learning
There was a mother whose baby wasn’t breastfeeding at all and she was just about to give up and I used the frontal molding technique, and the baby latched instantly right in front of me and has been breastfeeding ever since.
Yes, I would recommend this program because there is no other course out there that is as in-depth or comprehensive. I wouldn’t refer to or trust my child’s care with someone who hasn’t taken this course
I am super appreciative of the dedication that you have to this work and to the chiropractic profession. I am grateful to have learned from you; I am sad that it’s over but look forward to continuing in the future.

This foundational course offers a clear, clinical framework for understanding the biomechanics behind cranial adjusting.
You’ll learn:
- The four primary motion patterns of the cranium
- We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development.
- How these patterns influence individual cranial bones
- Tools to assess proper cranial movement and function
- The impact of subtle restrictions on growth, development, and neurological integrity
