Dear Friends:
Martha asks about scope of practice with craniosacral therapy. As a
registered nurse, you are licensed to touch, which includes CST.
If one isn't licensed to touch, one should become certified in
craniosacral therapy, which takes a lot, including the most difficult
examination I have ever encountered and I have taken a fair number of exams.
First is an open book test, where one basically writes a book about all
the techniques. There is also a practical component to the exam, where one
treats a client with another examiner present.
Where one can practice depends on one's state regulations. It is easier
to have a license to touch to begin with, so there are lots of massage
therapists, physical and occupational therapists, some dentists, nurses,
midwives, doctors.
