Listening & Expression (32 Hours)
‘Stillness is the Beginning and the End, Stillness with a voice is Life itself’
This class addresses TMJ dysfunctions and opens up the muscles and tendons that operate the jaw, tongue, hard/soft palate and ears. You learn how the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems are interconnected with our brain and how they impact our general well being. You learn to correct dysfunctions that arise from dental interventions, braces, and implants.
We touch here on the bridge between the inherent treatment plan of the body and the understanding of technique that will give you the confidence to just ‘be’ without drowning in doing.

The Original Voice:
Understanding & Working
with the Alarm Systems
(32 Hours)
‘Understanding evolution gives us the possibility to become a Human Being’
Survival is the main goal of our body so that we can fulfill our life tasks. You will learn how to consciously utilize these delicate mechanisms so you can become masters of the controls and finally change how you can react to the world. This Somato Emotional Trauma Release class will explore the reticular alarm system and the total stress cascade response in the body. Typically when we experience stress, it is the result of the reactions in the systems which do not function within of the awareness of our conscious mind. Learn how to take your clients off ‘automatic pilot’ and consciously be able to direct their response to stress.

Highly inspirational and respected teacher in the field of CranioSacral, Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio, during an immersive meditation and bodywork training.
Etienne describes Cranio as the the closest thing to that wonderful silence he found during his near death experience, and from that time, 31 years ago, it became his life's passion.
His journey led him first to apprentice at the Upledger Institute in Florida, then teach at Bastyr University in Washington and the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. He is the founder of Etienne Peirsman Cranio as well as the CranioSacral Therapy Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society.
Author of the pioneering book, "Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children" published by Penguin Random House, Etienne is about to publish his second book "Tantric Aspects of CranioSacral".
It is truly a unique experience to learn Cranio from such a passionate, talented teacher who infuses his classes with good humor and a deep dive into stillness. He strives to use simple language that engages our spontaneity.
His methods are the middle ground between biomechanics Upledger style and biodynamic Sutherland style.
In his classes, students learn to start from a no-mind space, a place where the mind can take a vacation, allowing their practice to unfold in non-duality, or what he calls the Midline.
He emphasizes the power of touch to stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that brings a feeling of oneness and values clarity as the result of being in touch with that Midline that connects us with our life-force, our true and infinite potential.
Etienne travels the world with his life partner Toshiko, teaching where he is invited to share this opportunity of radical self transformation.
