An Introduction to Equine Craniosacral Therapy

Tutor: Mike Harrison

This course is an extended version of a successful course previously run at Writtle College in Chelmsford, Essex.

It is intended to offer the course annually, as numbers permit. Six to eight students are needed for the course to run – if you want to attend, please register your interest and we will contact you as soon as the requisite number has been reached.  Experience with horses is essential.

Accommodation is available within the surrounding area: details and costs on request. Lunch will also be available at reasonable cost. Call or email ASCT for bookings or further information.

Mike Harrison has worked with horses and other animals for several years, initially training with the Royal Saudi Airforce. He was a tutor at the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy for many years before starting his own school in Norfolk in 2008. His practice includes the treatment of people and horses. He has a special interest in the contribution of craniosacral therapy to the rehabilitation of problem horses, and gave a poster session on this topic at the International Society of Equitation Science conference in Dublin in August 2008.
