Ready to get back into your CranioSacral work or prepare for the next step in your training?
This 2-day refresher course gives practitioners the opportunity to rebuild confidence, review key concepts and techniques, and refine hands-on skills before advancing to Level 2.
Open to anyone who has previously completed EQ1200: Equine CranioSacral Therapy – Level 1, participants may attend just the refresher or continue directly into Level 2 (they are scheduled back-to-back). Attendance also resets your externship deadline, providing additional time to complete certification requirements.
The course is also ideal for practitioners who previously trained with Dr. Howlett through the Upledger Institute and now wish to continue their Equine CranioSacral education with us. Those students may take the refresher and then move directly into Level 2.
Whether you stepped away from the material, want updated guidance, or are ready to continue progressing in your training, this course provides a supportive and practical return to your CranioSacral work.
*This course is NOT mandatory to move into Level 2, it is simply offered for those that want a refresher before continuing their training.
This course will review the basic information from Level 1, including:
- Listening Stations
- CranioSacral Therapy Techniques
- Fascial Diaphragm Releases at Transitional Areas of the Spine (Occiput-Atlas, Cervicothoracic, Thoracolumbar, Lumbosacral)
- Decompression Techniques (Occipitoatlantal Junction, Lumbosacral Junction, Sacrococcygeal Junction)
- Dural Tube Release
- Iliopsoas Release
- Intertransverse Joints Release
- Sacrosciatic Ligament Release
- Scapular Mobilization
- Cranial Vault Release (Intraosseous and Interosseous)
- Frontal
- Parietal and Interparietal
- Squamous Temporal
- Petrous Temporal
- Sphenoid
In order to take this refresher students must have either:
- Completed the EQ1200: Equine CranioSacral Therapy – Level 1 course (through any Equinology Independent Licensed Company)
- Completed at least Level 1 training with Dr. Howlett through the Upledger Institute
Students should bring their EQ1200: Equine CST Therapy – Level 1 course manual. For students who trained through Upledger, a course manual will be provided.
There is no externship requirement for this course (the Level 1 externship is still required).
Dr. Sandra Howlett, DC. CST-D, ECST, Certified Veterinary Chiropractic, EFLC
Dr. Howlett came into this world with a love of people, animals, and health. She has three passions in life: people helping people, people helping animals, and animals helping people.
Dr. Howlett graduated from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1987. Her early days in practice were successful, yet she quickly began searching for more education and more diversity. She discovered Dr. John Upledger, DO, OMM and fell into the osteopathic approach, especially cranial osteopathy, in facilitating self-correction. Over the years with Upledger, she became diplomate certified and was an instructor and examiner for Upledger’s students.
Dr. Howlett pursued further training offered under the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators, including neural manipulation, visceral manipulation, lymphatic drainage, and manual brain/glial matrix work. She has also completed the animal chiropractic training, which is a post-doctorate program offered only to veterinarians and chiropractors.
With a further quest for understanding animals, especially horses, Dr. Howlett completed two different certifications in Equine Facilitated Learning/Therapy. When she discovered that addressing “head cases” (including what is often referred to as behavioral) was lacking in the therapeutic approach to helping animals, she developed a curriculum in CranioSacral Therapy. This curriculum is focused on integrating the craniosacral system, the fascial system and the nervous system, thereby facilitating self-healing. This program was originally offered through Integrative Intentions, then Upledger, and now she is pleased to be offering this curriculum through Equinology and its Independent Licensed Companies, including the EquiLearn Institute. She is excited to delve deeper into the science behind the techniques being offered and the overall approach to animal health care.
