“I wanted to learn more about working with children and infants. I also wanted to learn more about cranial work and SOT. I have taken some courses through ICPA but I wanted something more specific and in more detail.

I liked the convenience of the program. Obviously, most of us are in practice and this is a large time commitment to watch additional videos weekly but if I did fall behind I was able to catch up at my own pace. There were also multiple assignments which were nice. I liked that the doctor share sessions were recorded. Also enjoyed the videos- I think they were easy to understand and follow and gave great details.

This program has given me a lot of confidence to treat the pediatric population. It has also given me the opportunity to allow myself to have more success with the pediatric population. I also have started to use it on adult patients as well.

I have used it a lot when treating babies who have torticollis or have cranial issues.

I would recommend this program. It is great. Very convenient for a doctor that is in practice because I was able to move at my own pace and at the same time immediately implement what I have learned into practice.

Thank you!”

My three takeaways:
1. Less is more. One of the greatest lessons I learned is that the body doesn’t need us to do more—it needs us to do what is necessary with precision and intention. A gentle, deliberate adjustment, delivered at the right time and in the right place, is often far more powerful than trying to achieve too much.
2. Rapport and engagement are everything. With children, you may only have a split second to build trust. How you connect with them in that moment can determine the entire encounter. Meet them where they are, respect their experience, and use those precious moments wisely. Connection always precedes correction.
3. Present-time consciousness is essential. The more present you are, the more you see. Children are constantly communicating through their behaviour, movement, and nervous system. Being fully present allows you to observe, adapt, and respond to what is in front of you rather than what you expected to see. Presence is one of the most valuable clinical skills we can develop. A quote that perfectly summarises my experience of this program is: “Everyone wants better results. Skill precedes results. Practice precedes skill. Attitude precedes practice. It’s the willingness to try—and keep trying—that ultimately leads to ability.” This course reminded me that mastery is not achieved through perfection, but through curiosity, humility, repetition, and the courage to keep showing up. Every child, every adjustment, and every experience becomes another opportunity to learn and grow.

I found this course both challenging and immensely rewarding. Much of the challenge came not from the material itself, but from my own process of learning. Integrating a completely new set of skills and ways of thinking into an already busy clinical practice required patience, persistence, and a willingness to embrace being a beginner again. Working with many children who have complex needs added another layer of challenge. They often require efficient, gentle care that works within their time frame and capacity to engage. Learning new techniques while still providing the highest standard of care meant I had to trust the process, even when I didn’t yet feel fluent. Perhaps the greatest lesson was learning to be kind and patient with myself. I came to appreciate that true mastery cannot be rushed. Time, repetition, and clinical experience were not slowing my progress, they were embedding these vital skills into my neurology and allowing them to become intuitive. Looking back, I can see that what initially felt slow was actually creating a much deeper level of understanding, confidence, and clinical certainty. Learning this intricate and vital work is a lifetime process, and I am willing to commit to this learning.

One case that has had a profound impact on my learning involved a young boy who presented as irritable, constantly unwell, and unable to sleep. He cried almost incessantly and was deeply distrustful of anyone coming near him, which I believed was a reflection of the discomfort he was experiencing. As a result, both assessing and adjusting him were incredibly challenging. The greatest lesson for me was learning where to begin. Rather than trying to address everything at once, I trusted the principles I had been taught and focused first on reducing vertebral subluxation in his upper cervical spine. This became the “window in” to his nervous system. Over time, everything began to change. He became calmer, happier, more engaged with those around him, and the constant crying stopped. As his trust grew, I was able to work more extensively on other areas of his spine and nervous system.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to any chiropractor who wants to make a lasting difference in the lives of children. It provides the knowledge, confidence, and clinical skills to assess and adjust vertebral subluxation with certainty, helping each child express their full potential. There is no greater privilege than supporting a child’s nervous system so they have every opportunity to grow, develop, and live an extraordinary life.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson. Thank you for stretching me, incubating me, and now helping to finesse my skills throughout this journey. Your wisdom, generosity, and unwavering commitment to teaching have been truly inspiring, and I am so grateful that you have shared your knowledge with us. I hope that one day I can demonstrate even a fraction of the skill, compassion, and mastery that you both bring to chiropractic and the care of children. The impact you have had on my professional growth, and on the lives of the families I will care for because of what you have taught me, is immeasurable. Thank you for believing in us, challenging us, and inspiring us to become better chiropractors. It has been an absolute privilege to learn from you.

My three takeaways from this program:
1. Amount of knowledge gained 2. Practical application 3. Confidence in cranial work.

I believe my confidence with pediatric care and cranial work has not only improved drastically, but the output in our office has also improved.

Overall, the main reason I took this course was because of the need for high level cranial work in our patient population. So having more confidence and education has been awesome.

Yes, I would recommend this program. I believe that it is crucial for a practitioner who sees a high percentage of peds cases to have all the knowledge and skills to be able to serve at a high level.

This program was absolutely wonderful and if you ever have a chance to go in person, I would have liked it even more.

I am now able to help and understand my pediatric population a bit more and communicate with their family’s cub more efficiently.

I have been able to apply these specific techniques with a baby who was constantly fussy and uncomfortable. After a few adjustments with this specific protocol, the baby was completely different, and mom was so happy!

Yes, I would absolutely recommend this program. I think this is the best course to learn from. It is very in depth and covers all bases.

The only thing that could have been better was if I was in person, hands-on learning.

Three Takeaways:
1. This gives you such a great foundation for this type of work!
2. Stay on top of the classes and put max effort into the assignments to help retain the info.
3. Practice the techniques as you learn them. Patients LOVE it when you learn new skills. I’m honest about being in the learning phase, but tell them what I find and ask if I can practice a few new techniques. I’ve been blown away with the results, even as someone who is still learning how to put entities I’ve learned, into practice.

This course was definitely a big commitment, but I actually love how it is our together in weekly lessons. I have taken bits that I’ve learned and applied them to my pediatric and adult patients and I have seen some amazing changes! I love how much more confident I am when I see asymmetries and recurring patterns, to know what more is involved and where to go next. With babies, it’s been amazing to help with those asymmetric head shapes that parents see, but doctors brush off. You will build their confidence in you as you validate them! I’m so happy I made the commitment to this course. I still have a lot to practice and learn, but that is how it’s supposed to work. Always be learning 🙂

I’ve really been happy to fully understand eye orbits and jaw deviations and know exactly what is going on, but I’ve even had many adult patients with an onset of vertigo and sinus issues clear right up after months of struggle. It’s been a game changer for those things that just aren’t responding to my regular techniques.

Yes I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their clinical skills, especially with the pediatric population.

I’m just so grateful I can learn from the best! Thank you for being so patient, and taking so much care and consideration of your students!
