Sheila Kean

While working as a science teacher, Sheila became fascinated by complementary therapies following a treatment that completely changed her life-style. In response to this, she studied massage and then Craniosacral Therapy. Since 1986 she has had a busy practice in Stroud, UK. For many years she was a National Childbirth Trust teacher, working with couples prior to the birth of their children and her practice reflects this interest and experience. Sheila runs a massage school with her partner and has been involved as a teacher of Craniosacral Therapy since 1992, working in the UK, Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand. Sheila is deeply committed to imparting the simplicity and truth at the heart of this work. She aims to bring the wealth of information gleaned from her clinic practice into her teaching, equipping students to move into practice with confidence. She lives with her partner, has two children, spends her spare time gardening, walking her two dogs and going on holiday!

Jason Jackson

Jason first studied Crainosacral in 1998 with Joseph Marzal (the Pacific Somatic Institute). Joseph Marzal's work with Shock and Trauma was a great influence and also a big reason for Jason moving into the Biodynamic Crainosacral style of treatment, it helped with questions he had around more mechanical approaches to the work. Jason has been working in the health industry for almost 20 years. He is currently the owner director of a busy clinic in Auckland. Jason has a Diploma in Biodynamic Crainosacral Therapy from Resonance Training and a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage and Craniosacral Therapy at Wellpark College. Jason works with Mothers and baby's and has an interest in how embryonic forces of formation express in Crainosacral Therapy. He has an Advanced Diploma in BCST. He's the father of three young boys.

Tracey continues to build on her knowledge by regularly attending post-graduate courses with leading figures in the field including Franklyn Sills and Michael Shea. Her passionate interest in the cause and effects of trauma in the body led Tracey to enhance her trauma resolution skills by qualifying as a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, the naturalistic approach to trauma founded by Dr. Peter Levine. She also co-ordinates and assists on SE trainings within Australia.
