‘I felt CranioSacral Therapy would take my work and life to the next level.
I was right.
The physical, mental and emotional release, from such a deep place,
has been transformational, personally and professionally.’
You’re passionate about helping people heal. Perhaps you’ve dedicated your life to it.
But do you have those quiet moments, where you wonder if there’s more you could do?
Have your clients reached a plateau and you’re not sure what to do next?
Are you searching for missing pieces of the ‘treatment puzzle’ to unlock deeper healing?
Whatever brings you here, welcome!
You’re curious and seeking more: more knowledge, more skill, more impact.
You want to help your clients not just feel better, but truly thrive, overcoming barriers that hold them back physically, emotionally and mentally.
You’re looking for a way to be the best therapist you can be, confident and capable of helping clients create lasting change.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is your gateway to a deeper, inspirational, more purposeful practice.
As you heal at a deeper level yourself, you’ll create an even more profound space for your clients to do the same.
As your skills upgrade, you’ll witness more and more that’s extraordinary.
Every day.
Welcome to the magic of the CST paradox.
CranioSacral Therapy… a magical paradox of light physical touch that creates deeply profound change.
Quietly enjoy the privilege and pleasure of facilitating transformation in your client, and trust in yourself as a therapist.
You receive lots of treatments (as well as giving them) – a hugely important part of the training, so that you experience, first-hand, the change and transformation CST can bring about.
You do your own inner work improving your own health on every level. As you dive into the process more deeply, you’ll emerge as a more grounded, resilient healer – a great win-win!
Along the way you forge friendships and relationships that often stay with you far beyond your early training days.
Your journey with CST is as unique as you are.
The destination? Wherever you most want to go.
‘CST has helped me sooth my frazzled nervous system layer by layer, piece by piece over the years and helped me feel calmer and less reactive’
I have loved soaking up the energy of learning again in real life. I am able to connect so much more deeply in treating – Thank You!
‘CST has helped me be a better therapist by really teaching me to slow down and listen to the client’s body, words and energy.’
‘It has given me a depth of self-awareness that I have never felt’
‘CST is my life-line, because to work on myself before anything else is very important… then the magic happens…’
I came to CST as a requirement for another course. What I thought was an end turned out to be only the beginning of a journey…! I feel so fortunate to have found this profound work.
‘The training is never-ending and growth is 5-dimensional!’
All of our training starts with CST1, the foundational class that opens the door to this transformative practice..

No previous experience? No problem. Training From Scratch, designed to help you build a thriving, joyful practice that resonates with your soul’s purpose,
is your pathway,
“What I really like about the Upledger system is that it is extremely thorough; every course is really prepared and thoughtful, and each seems to spark your curiosity in a different way. But be prepared, once you are hooked, this work cannot be condensed into a few days… there are so many avenues of wonder to explore ”

Hi, I’m Caroline Barrow.
I run the Upledger Institute UK.
💛 Holding a space for this amazing work, filled with integrity and love.
🌱 Supporting our students in becoming the best CranioSacral Therapists they can be.
✋ Changing the world, one gentle touch treatment at a time…
I’d always been fired up by living life to its fullest potential, how these miraculous bodies of ours work and how we can help and support others along our journeys. Late one night, contemplating what I wanted to do next in my life, I was suddenly hit by the realisation that becoming a hands-on therapist was a path that would tick these boxes. I felt inspired and excited.
I did some amazing training and learnt some awesome ways to treat, but there were sessions that seemed to lack something, I still didn’t feel I was good enough at what I was doing. I knew I could trust my hands as I worked, and wanted to be more effective, but couldn’t figure out how.
Then I found CranioSacral Therapy (or did it find me?!). It changed the game. It gave me the science to back up what I was feeling. It gave me a new lens to see what was happening in my practice. It taught me techniques that moved the needle for my clients which increased my confidence.
And now it continuously helps me to become a better therapist – a work always in progress of course. I never dreamed I’d be running the institute in the UK, organising the classes and teaching, but here I am, constantly spurred on by those moments when people’s faces light up with delight from the new things that they are feeling.
Twenty-five years on, what CST brings to the table still blows me away: I am left awed by clients, inspired by students and always deeply grateful.
