Katherine Ukleja practised osteopathy for many years before qualifying as a Craniosacral Therapist. Her extensive cranial training began in 1987 and culminated in studying under Franklyn Sills at the Karuna Insitute. Katherine's interest in health and healing originated in a desire to understand why certain people survive extraordinary circumstances and overcome incurable disease. Three decades on, she feels the principles of Craniosacral Biodynamics come close to the answers. She is a principal teacher in this field on both sides of the Atlantic, with a reputation for making complex material lively and accessible. Additionally, she runs a busy craniosacral practice in Devon UK.

Sheila Kean while working as a science teacher, Sheila became fascinated by complementary therapies following a treatment that completely changed her life-style.

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 is deeply committed to imparting the simplicity and truth at the heart of this work.
