Craniosacral Therapy

   Craniosacral Therapy, (CST), is a gentle and profound therapeutic modality developed by osteopath Dr. John Upledger.  CST can address both structural and physiological imbalances in the body and can benefit overall health as well as treat specific structural and nervous system issues. 
   Aurore Sibley, CST-T, is a certified craniosacral therapist with training in pediatrics.  She has been  a teaching assistant for Upledger CST and SER classes and is a member of the Birth Network of Santa Cruz County, and the International Association of Health Care Practitioners. 
   Aurore has over 600 hours of training in massage and manual therapies.  In addition to craniosacral therapy for infants, children and adults, Aurore offers combined CST and massage therapy sessions, integrating reflexology, acupressure and swedish massage with the benefits of craniosacral therapy.    

Remedial Educational support

   The Extra Lesson approaches learning and developmental challenges through individualized lessons, which support the whole child through movement and art exercises based in the Waldorf philosophy of education.  The goal is to integrate the developmental processes of the first seven years of life in order to prepare a child with the foundation to develop healthy cognitive faculties.  When processes such as the stages of crawling, crossing the midline, and integrating early reflex patterns  are incomplete, learning and behavioral difficulties can arise.  
   Aurore is a graduate of the Remedial Education program at Rudolf Steiner College, and has a Master of Science in Waldorf Education, as well as a teaching certificate from Taruna College in New Zealand.  She is available for Extra Lesson and assessments.
