Nourishing Tides
Craniosacral

Nourishing Tides Institute of Craniosacral Therapy
Training practitioners in the gentle art of craniosacral therapy.
From your first Level 1 Foundations course through to practitioner certification and postgraduate study, our training builds skill, confidence and a felt sense of the work. The certification program is recognised by the International Institute of Complementary Therapists (IICT), so graduates can be insured as certified craniosacral therapists.
Craniosacral therapy is an ever-evolving study of the human body, the nervous system and our belonging to the natural world.
Founded by Alani Klein, Nourishing Tides offers training that bridges the physical, osteopathic roots of the work with the spacious practice of biodynamic craniosacral, and everything in between.
Our training is open to all levels of experience, from curious beginners to established bodyworkers.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Meet your Teachers

Founder and Principal Teacher
Alani Klein
Alani has worked as a craniosacral therapist since 2007. She studied biomechanical craniosacral therapy through Craniosacral Australia and Langara College, biodynamic craniosacral through Body Intelligence, and Visionary Craniosacral Work through the Milne Institute. She also assisted at Craniosacral Australia courses for ten years. Her integrative approach is rooted in deep listening and a trust that the body is infinitely wise and capable of healing. As a teacher, Alani weaves the mystical side of this work with a robust grounding in anatomy and physiology, so that nothing is separated from the whole. She continues to learn and evolve, and her curriculum reflects new developments in the field while honouring the lineage of those who came before.

Faculty
Dr George Stylian
George has practised osteopathy since graduating in London in 1980, returning to Sydney to open his private practice and teach undergraduate osteopathy. He has taught embryology and cranial osteopathy for 25 years, with a particular devotion to paediatrics: babies, children and their families. George is principal osteopath at Bay Osteopathy in Byron Bay, co-founded The Craniodental Academy of Australasia, and is also a qualified naturopath. He brings this lifetime of clinical and teaching experience to the Nourishing Tides faculty.
