    I loved the structural explanations of the cranial. It really had me visualizing how everything is connected. I was surprised to learn that the narrower or flat the nasal passages the more difficult the drainage is. It makes sense. I always just thought of the palate pushing up. I really liked how we move our heads to breath and how important it is for the cranial to structurally be aligned for that.

    I am able to explain to clients how things are connected and how important having the cranial aligned not only for breathing, but also for the CSF to flow in order to help keep up healthy physically and immune wise too. It makes sense that everything goes from the cranial to the tailbone. if that is not open or there is some type of obstruction how it can impact a growing child.

    I will be advising clients to see chiropractors more often and not just for breast-feeding challenges.

    Yes I would recommend this course. I think more people in my profession could use a class on how everything in the cranium is connected and if one structure is off how it can toss everything off. I do not think the majority of my industry understands the importance of functional and structural alignment and how it affects growth and development for their entire lives.

    I think it was great.

    “My three takeaways from this course are:
    1. Information about how the cranium moves on inspiration and expiration that is not taught in chiropractic school (at least when I went).
    2. Understanding the palate and being able to release dural tension has been a game changer in practice.
    3. Confidence in communicating to parents about the benefits of cranial work

    I have taught my associates the information in this course and have been enjoying the benefits myself. Since taking the original cranial immersion course and now this one, I have attracted more difficult cases and special needs kids into the office. This population so needs this type of work and parents are grateful to have found us.

    A couple who are chiropractors contacted me when their baby was in the NICU on a ventilator because she was hypoxic. The baby started moving and opening her mouth for the first time after her first adjustment. The parents when they called me were not sure if she was ever going to come home. After 3 times seeing her in the hospital, she was able to come home. The doctors said she could have neurological damage and she is perfectly normal!!”

    “My three takeaways from this program:
    1. A really good overview of anatomy of the cranium.
    2. Considerations for treating various issues in the cranium.
    3. More info on tongue-tie for my patients.

    I have started to implement more cranial work into my practice and assess infants especially differently. I had a passion for tongue-ties before but it has solidified that I want to keep diving deeper to help my patients.

    I applied the fruit jar techniques to an infant and that helped them instantly relax on the table and not cry the rest of the visit while mom got to also get treated!

    This was very informative but I can tell that an in person seminar for me is needed to really work on the hands on. Some of it feels very intuitive and I want to get better at that.”

    “I took this program for the vast relationship of cranial movements, subluxation patterns and how it can affect baby/child/mother

    The program has allowed me to be more clinically competent when dealing with high neurological cases, CSF, sinus, UC issues

    One of my 5 year-olds has suffered from tremendous sinus issues and did well with pure UC work but has improved even more with palate/sphenoid corrections

    I would like to see more examples of the adjustments being made in a slower/clearer manner.”

    “I will definitely share with others your genuine & thoughtful interaction with students & how supportive you both are of the learning success of your students & the quality of the pediatric care that we bring to our communities.

    I’m still in the process of learning the information & applying it into practice. I’ve read through the course materials, watched the videos & slowly trying things in practice.

    So far, I’ve mostly been implementing the palpation of the palate & cranium. It’s been a slow process to implement more but I’m working on it

    This program has opened up new questions & curiosities that I’d like to learn more about concussion, cranial adjusting, TMD, scoliosis, etc. At some point, I would love to work my way through all of your courses!”
