It is my hope that in the state of Massachusetts, and nationwide biodynamic craniosacral therapists become licensed providers to create consistency in our profession.

A note about State requirements to practice...
​
Massachusetts
Since this is a new profession there are no state licenses currently. In Massachusetts you can practice this work without another degree such as massage therapy. 
New York
Craniosacral falls primarily under the massage therapy license. In other words, massage therapists have claimed it for themselves and are politically active in trying to make sure that other practitioners don't do it. Interestingly, it is not within the scope of practice of acupuncturists in NY (although we can do hands on therapy nonspecifically). Physical therapists, doctors, nurses, podiatrists, and chiropractors have an exemption that allows them to officially practice cranialsacral therapy. Ministers can touch therapeutically, but according to NYS law they can't practice cranialsacral therapy.

Miscellaneous Info about licensing and practicing.
Each state has its own set of rules. You would have to check the state that you are interested in practicing in, if you do not already have a license such as massage therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy, etc...
You can contact the biodynamic craniosacral therapy association of North America.  Edwin is the Judicial & Governmental Review Chair.  He may be able to help you state by state... on how to find out what is required to practice BCST... 

Many states are trying to pass a bodywork umbrella licensing requirement to stop sex trafficking, that covers tons of different professions like Polarity, Feldenkrais, etc...including BCST:
