“This program has easily digestible information, clear ways to locate restrictions and correct them.
My personal goal for my practice this year is to expand the pediatric patient population I see-having this information is only going to help that grow and benefit so many!
I haven’t had a patient yet since finishing this class where I could apply my new knowledge but I can’t wait. I have had previous patients with difficulty latching and have used my minimal cranial experience, which did help baby feed a little easier, so I know going in with this information my treatments will be so much more effective.
I loved this class and all the information it provided us with, so excited to take this out and start helping others! I also wanted to say thank you for making it available for longer than the course took – I had some family issues going on during the holidays which put work on hold and put this course on the back burner. I am very grateful for the chance to finish the class and learn the awesome material.”

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 program:
1. How much the palate affects the facial and cranial bones.
2. How important the sphenoid bone, as a base to all of these movements.
3. How fluid the cranial, facial, and palate bones were (before full fusion) that allows for chiropractic adjustments.This program has really made me rethink how I adjust and look at my own children; as much as how I think about the babies and toddlers I have the privilege of treating. This has also impacted how much education and knowledge I have when speaking to the parents of these children and the degree of importance of the palate/facial/cranial bone relationships.
As I am actively seeing babies in the office since starting this course, I have already started to use the assessments to locate the decreased movement in more of the cranial sutures that I realized I could.
This course is filled with so much good information! And immediately applicable!”
