This training is certified by the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America
It is my hope that in the state of Massachusetts, and nationwide biodynamic craniosacral therapists become licensed providers to create consistency in our profession.
Dr. Kate has been practicing craniosacral therapy since 1989.
She is a certified Biodynamic Craniosacral teacher through the BCST/NA
This is a two year/ 700 hour training
*Not all classes, and teachers that use the words biodynamic craniosacral are certified through the BCST/NA.
All certified teachers are on the BCST/NA website.
As s BCST/NA-certified teacher and practitioner I am bound by the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America's code of ethics in practice and teaching.
This training stems from the teaching of Roland Becker, William Sutherland, Franklyn Sills, Michael Kern, Katherine Ukleja, and Myrna Martin.

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:
