What Upledger Institute Instructors are Saying about the Healing From the Core: Grounding and Healthy Boundaries course...

Don Ash, PT, CST-D
Instructor: CST I, SER I, Brain Speaks, CSD

“I have taught for UI since 1999.  Suzanne’s course has taught me new ways to clear, center and ground myself - so I am a better teacher, therapist and human being.  For the first time, I have a skill that helps me return to my own grounding in the middle of a session when I have temporarily lost my balance or focus.  I think every therapist should learn how to care for themselves first before caring for others – this curriculum teaches just that.”

Rebecca Flowers, OTR, BCP, CST-D
Instructor: CSI, CACP, CAAP, CSP, Omnibudsman – Pediatric Curriculum

“A tremendous adjunct to all we do in the therapy room and out.  HFC provides you with several of the foundational skills needed to do effective CranioSacral and pediatric therapy.  It is especially important when working with children to maintain a healthy, grounded space which allows the children to relax – creating the safety for them to let go and release emotional issues with out getting sucked into it.  What I’ve seen is that the more intense the emotional release, the more grounded and steady HFC graduates get – this is a huge asset to the healing process.”

Tim Hutton, PhD, LMP, CST-D
Instructor: CST I, SER I, Advanced, CACS, CASR, CAAD (APPR CSII)

“Wonderful stuff - Everyone should do it.  HFC: Grounding and Healthy Boundaries teaches you awareness of your own energy dynamics.  It’s the course that teaches you how to master the energy dynamics necessary to be an excellent therapist.  The combination of compassion + poor boundaries is a recipe for disaster. This audio series and curriculum teaches you the skills that allow you to do CST without burning out.”

Sheryl McGavin, OTR/L, CST-D
Instructor: CST I, CST II, Advanced I, CSIR, CACS, CASR, CAAD
 
“HFC teaches what we only have time to hint at in the CST curriculum.  It teaches clearly how to explore fully within ourselves, whatever may be an obstacle to being present with our clients in a therapeutic way.  This is an invaluable skill for all therapists.”

Henk Meldrum, PT, OMT, CST-D
Instructor: Advanced I, Advanced II

“When I ground it holds the group together.  Grounding is a vital skill for any modality.  Knowing how to ground and help others ground is what I took away.  HFC also is helpful for recognizing and preventing transference and counter transference. This is vital for all advanced practitioners.”

Mable Sharp, MS, PT, CM, CST
Instructor: CST I (APPR CSII)

“I found it helped me to be much more present, grounded and centered as I taught my CST I classes.  I also use the techniques of expanding my field throughout the classroom without losing myself, so my positive intention for the class comes across more clearly and easily.  Before I teach palpation, I use a shortened version of G&F and it helps their palpation skills immensely.”
