Hello

Welcome to Treating Babies: For Craniosacral Practitioners with Jonathan Evans.

This is a series of six classes that will give you the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to perform hands on examination and treatment of a baby. The pre-requisite for this course is prior experience of working ‘hands on’ with patients. No prior experience of working with babies is needed. Students with prior experience of cranial or craniosacral therapy will find this course a particularly good fit for them. However, there are many other practitioners who will also really benefit from this course so if you're unsure it’s for you, just get in touch and we can chat further about it. See sessions 5 and 6 for more about our CST approaches. If you don't have prior CST experience, those might have terminology and somatic orientation that you may not be familiar with.

The course will be delivered online via the interactive zoom platform. It will include video footage of babies being examined and treated by Dr Evans in his clinic in Australia. Dr Evans has an extensive library of footage to draw upon and he has been using this footage to teach Pediatric Osteopathy since 2016. The course will consist of 6 sessions (see below) and will include time for questions and interaction during the sessions.

• Session One: Benefits of manual treatment for babies and for you, The Structure of our Sessions with Baby, Taking a History (Initial and Return), The Initial Examination, The 4 RRRR's,
