Michael began the study of Craniosacral Therapy with Donald Howitt DO, in Edinburgh and has been practicing and teaching for 15 years. He has attended workshops with the embryologist Jaap Van der Wal, the late Dr Alan Pelowski, founder of the South African Institute of Cranial Studies, and with Tez Sawicki and Keith Farvis, both early graduates of the Karuna Institute, the main craniosacral biodynamic teaching body in UK. Michael's understanding of, and commitment to the biodynamic model of craniosacral therapy continues to be inspired by his work as a shaman. He is currently offering a 700 hour Foundation Training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in Western MA.
