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.
