I am a board-certified lactation consultant as well and teach chiropractors how to integrate this first milestone into their practices. This course will be suggested to all my students due to the sheer depth that you all covered in regard to 1. cranial work, 2. ascending vs descending patterns as well as the 3. soft tissue variations that need to be considered when helping these babies get to the breast.
This program has such depth, and I know I will be a lifelong student of your work. Your teaching has been implemented already into our clinic, we will continue to educate our patients based on your models and I will use your analysis and techniques on our staff and see the results with my own kiddos and family! As mentioned above, all my students need to have your work in their lives.
I will pick what you taught me with just the sphenoid and palate work. What a difference palate work makes with a breastfeeding baby! I define a successful breastfeeding visit with 3 parameters. Can the baby latch? Is it painful for mom? Did the baby transfer enough milk based on the size of the baby’s stomach, age and weight? All these parameters can be and have been accomplished by checking the sphenoid and correcting it.
I will suggest this to all my students! The depth and care put into your classes is exceptional. Thank you for making this online and so easy to do on our own time!
Thank you for stepping up and doing this not only for our profession but for helping us be better docs for our communities!

My three takeaways from this program are: Cranial assessment is essential for every pediatric chiropractor. Cranial adjusting helps with general alignment and better outcomes. It requires special skills and a lot of understanding to perform these adjustments.
This program impacted my life because I have seen right in front of my eyes changes immediately in some cases, something that was challenging before.
I had a case of a cranial imbalance; so much the baby had his whole mouth to the left side of his face. I performed the “jar opening” assessment and some other techniques learned in this course. On his 3rdvisit, his mouth was back to normal.
I will and I have recommended this program to every pediatric colleague. It is essential information not taught in Chiropractic school. It is an extra tool you can use to help more patients and have an extra specialization in this topic.
I have been working with babies since I graduated from NYCC 11 years ago. I have done all ICPA and some other pediatric and prenatal courses. The thing about this program that I liked the most was the hands-on experience I had practicing with my patients every week. It was amazing the changes I saw immediately in some of them. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to an in person seminar soon!!

“I recently graduated and work at a practice where no one has any knowledge of pediatric chiropractic care.
I wanted to learn more to be able to provide the best care possible for infants and kids.
My three takeaways:
1. It’s so important to learn the WHY behind pediatric chiro care and be able to convey that to families.
2. Cranial work can be so incredibly powerful.
3. The pediatric exam is so important and can give you a huge amount of information to guide you in a care plan.
This program has given me a starting point for creating a pediatric practice as well as some confidence in examining and adjusting kids.
I have been using some of the CSF balancing techniques on a patient with conversion disorder which has been helping him to have fewer “episodes” and sleep better than he has in a while.
This course was definitely overwhelming for me having no experience with SOT or cranial work, but I like that I have access to all the information to dive deeper into it whenever I am able and to understand it better over time with practice.
I think that any pediatric chiropractor should take this course to gain a better understanding of the cranium and the neurology behind the cranial adjustments. Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson have such a vast knowledge of pediatric care and have been so helpful throughout the course to answer any questions I had about techniques or cases I had in practice.
I think it was a great experience for me and I so appreciate the guidance and generosity of the knowledge Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson have!”

“My three takeaways from this program:
1. Help gain confidence in checking and adjusting paediatric patients.
2. See more positive impact in practice.
3. Improve communication skills with parents and family.
I have gained more confidence and incorporating cranials and seeing more positive outcomes.
I recommend this course, especially if you have been unsure or ‘stuck’ with helping paediatric patients.
Thank you for all the help and useful content.”

“This program is very detailed and the explanations combined with the visuals on the craniums or dolls help facilitate the understanding – The program is very complete and there are a lot of tools. Use those you are comfortable with and combine these techniques with those you are already using in your clinic. Different techniques for specific conditions are explained step-by-step, so it facilitates the learning process. (Of course, it is also important to use or modify those techniques according to your clinical findings).
I am a lot more observant of the cranium when looking at babies (at the clinic as well as in general). It helps me integrate the information given during the classes. I am now more efficient during my clinical exam of a child which has given me more confidence. As I don’t treat a lot of babies, I still need more practice for the different techniques as well as for the subtleties of cranial palpation, but at least I know that I have the tools to become better.
I have seen a child with chronic ear infection. This child was very fearful and insecure about the treatments. I have used the techniques you have taught during this class and after only two or three treatments, the parents told me that the child was not complaining of ear pain anymore. Moreover, during the treatments, the child started laughing when I used the Eustachian Tubes Technique which has made him and the parents more comfortable.
Yes, I would recommend this program. It gives a lot of interesting tools to treat babies. Each aspect of the class is reviewed multiple times, which helps to integrate the information more efficiently. The combination of the workbook and transcript make this course very complete. You can review the information later, which makes it very useful. The information you gave on the Facebook page is always relevant to the classes and different subjects and that makes the class even more interesting.
I have appreciated every single part of this program. The CTAs have allowed a better understanding of the information given during the classes. They have also acted as great reviews or summaries. The Q&A were pretty useful and they were pretty interesting as you were often giving more of a ‘real life’ aspect to the classes or you were talking about real experiences and cases.”
