TESTIMONIALS Craniosacral Therapy Foundations and LEARN ALL the RHYTHMS 4-day Training
When I signed up for the Intensive Craniosacral course I was hoping for a new modality to add in the services I already offer. What I received was so much more. The material and guidance provided by Janice is some of the best information teachings of the body's subtlties I have ever received. Not only is this going to add value to what I offer; it also gave me the confidence boost needed in my own abilities.
Janice's delivery of the material was professional and patient as we leaned into a modality that demands a full trust of oneself.
Thank you, Janice, I look forward to the next course. C.H., Reiki Master and Yoga Instructor, Spruce Grove, AB
Truthfully, I was uncertain about what the journey of learning Craniosacral Therapy would hold. However, I decided it was time to explore a new modality to extend my massage therapy career and deepen my knowledge in an area I was previously unfamiliar with.
The 4-day course was exactly as Janice had described—intensive and challenging. Each day, I showed up for myself and gained a deeper understanding of what Craniosacral therapy offers. This learning was not only valuable to me as a healthcare practitioner of 19 years aiming to support my clients’ wellness journeys but also profoundly impactful on a personal level.
During the 2-day Rhythms Level 2 course, especially on the final day, I found a safe space surrounded by supportive people. This environment allowed me to be vulnerable, embrace the process, and receive an incredible experience that enriched both my professional skills and personal growth. P.M. RMT Edmonton, AB

Student Testimonials
Janice’s Craniosacral courses have provided me with the essential knowledge and insights needed to incorporate Craniosacral therapy into my clinic. I provide a diverse range of treatments and have consistently received positive feedback following my Craniosacral sessions. I was impressed with the Craniosacral Therapy Foundations and Techniques and Craniosacral Therapy Techniques for Manual Therapists four-day intensive training I took April 15-18, 2024. The course offered lots of information and included ample hands-on practice. The two-day Craniosacral Therapy Therapeutic Process Techniques course on August 13-14, 2024, was exceptional. It was a highly interactive class focused on understanding the sensations and observations within the body, and we explored several new techniques. One being voice dialogue. Janice begins each session by engaging with participants and assessing the room for insights to enhance her demonstrations. During the April course, I was also chosen as a demo participant and left feeling completely transformed (lighter, more joyful, relaxed and more alert). I highly recommend Janice to anyone interested in incorporating Craniosacral treatments into their clinic.
Casey RMT NHPC Alberta
I attended Craniosacral Therapy Foundations and Techniques and the Craniosacral Therapy Techniques for Manual Therapists 4 day intensive training with Janice Zubin April 28- May 1st, 2024. I left the course feeling extremely satisfied with what I had learned and the support and confidence she gave.
I have been a Registered Massage Therapist and member of MTAS for 15 years. I appreciated the portion that was for manual therapists who have already practiced and are looking to incorporate or transition using Craniosacral in massage therapy treatments. I would highly recommend this course and hope to continue my learning with Janice in the future.

TESTIMONIAL
Craniosacral Therapy Foundations and Techniques ( CSFT)
Aug 28-29 2025 Manitou Lake, Watrous, Saskatchewan
Having taken several courses over the 14 years I’ve worked as a massage therapist,
this seminar was very well put together. The information was clear, professional, and used correct terms. It was well structured, keeping the class on track but allowed for a question period.
My level 1 was a 2-day course that was 9am-5pm both days, having two 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch break. We did mainly theory and review in the mornings, and then practical and hands-on in the afternoon. P O, RMT, CMMOTA
CSFT/CSTTPT Edmonton January 25 - 28 2024
