SOMATICS
Craniosacral Somatics:
Foundation learning in Craniosacral Therapy —online and in person
Craniosacral Somatics is a learning platform created to make the foundations of craniosacral therapy accessible to a wider community.
Through online learning, foundation courses and in-person experiential training, we offer different ways to begin exploring craniosacral therapy — whether you are encountering the work for the first time, already work therapeutically with others, or are considering further professional training.
Craniosacral Somatics is an embodied approach to craniosacral therapy that explores the art of listening through the body. Integrating therapeutic touch, embodied awareness, relational presence, and an understanding of the body's anatomy and physiology as well as our innate capacity for adaptation and self-regulation, it invites us to meet the body not as something to be corrected, but as a living, intelligent process.
Created by craniosacral therapist and accredited craniosacral educator Lizette Villaverde RCST®, Craniosacral Somatics brings together her teaching with contributions from experienced craniosacral teachers and community practitioners. These different voices and perspectives are an important part of the learning, connecting foundational knowledge with clinical experience, community practice and the many ways this work is understood and shared.
Whether you are beginning your journey or deepening an established practice, we invite you to explore a way of learning that values presence as much as technique, and listening as much as knowing.
"When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything."
- Lao Tzu
“Teaching craniosacral therapy has always been about more than passing on techniques. It is about helping people develop the confidence to listen to the body, trust their perception, and remain curious about what they find.”
— Lizette Villaverde RCST®
Craniosacral Somatics was created by Lizette Villaverde RCST®,
a practicing craniosacral therapist and educator who has been teaching craniosacral therapy since 2014.
Lizette’s approach has developed through years of clinical practice, teaching and community-based work, alongside her earlier background in social work. Her teaching brings together a strong foundation in craniosacral principles with an interest in the nervous system, fascia, trauma-informed practice and the relational qualities of therapeutic touch.
Craniosacral Somatics grew from this work, and from a desire to make high-quality craniosacral education accessible to a wider community. Through foundation courses, online learning and experiential training, Lizette invites people to understand the body not simply through anatomy and technique, but through relationship, perception and embodied experience.
