Feedback from Our Students
Cecelia Mikles, DC
“I took this program to deepen my knowledge in cranial adjusting, increase my tool box for babies and children and learn more SOT® protocols.
Three takeaways I would like to share about this program, are an in depth information of all common pediatric issues and adjustment protocols for treatment and more in depth cranial knowledge, learning the sphenoid and all its motions and how to properly adjust it and confidence in helping children and babies resolve their primary subluxations.
This program has impacted me as a provider by making me more confident in correcting subluxations and speaking to parents. It has impacted my practice by increasing the number of babies being served and getting relief from their issues.
Learning proper palate and intra-oral evaluations from this class and textbook, have increased helping more babies born in the birth community I serve with latching and TOTS. I had a case of treating a mom. The midwife went and clipped the tongue tie at day two of life.
Since I had established care with mom, I came to check her son. He had uneven palate and a sphenoid in extreme torsion. I was able to use SOR and help release his sphenomaxillary and sphenobasilar joints. Also applying fruit jars all helped with increasing his latch on one side. Mom also reported less pain and spit up. Continued care of him eventually had him functioning and clear of his sphenobasilar restrictions.
I have enjoyed taking this course spread out and congruently with the 10 month online course. It is really putting the puzzle together. So thank you for what you guys are doing for the profession and grateful to study with you.”

“This is an excellent seminar series. The pediatric evaluation and the cranial work that is laid out in this certification series should be considered the gold standard. Each seminar in the series builds off what was learned in the previous one. Having now completed the series, I am confident in my skills and proficiency in pediatric care and pediatric cranial work. Drs. Marty, Nancy, and Erin are great teachers and truly just want the material covered in the certification series to be carried on to the population through all of the doctors who have gone through the courses.”
