Mark Allison
Senior Tutor
Mark is a Senior Tutor with BI and a Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist based partly in northern Thailand and partly in Spain. He discovered his passion for energetics and bodywork through Vipassana meditation and Reiki, before finding a natural affinity with BCST and its powerful integration of anatomy and intuition. Mark’s approach to healing is informed by his previous career as a legal researcher and advocate on behalf of those at risk of abuse, including refugees, prisoners and vulnerable minorities. He became aware of the direct and vicarious effects of trauma in this work and is particularly interested in BCST as modality to help those suffering from PTSD. Mark is also a certified leadership coach specialising in the use of mindfulness for managing stress, promoting behavioural change and enhancing leadership. By taking a holistic approach that harnesses the intuitive power of the heart as well as the cognitive skills of the brain, he enjoys helping his clients challenge their conditioning, tap into their resources and find greater fulfilment in their lives. Mark is originally from the UK, but has also studied and worked in Hong Kong, China and Japan. He moved to Thailand with his partner in 2009 and they live in the beautiful valley of Pai near Chiang Mai.

Julie Thérond
Assistant Tutor
I discovered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in a 15 minutes-session during a silent retreat about 15 years ago. This experience has deeply transformed my perception and experience of touch, I was at that time suffering from a long-term head injury. Following this first experience, I studied with senior tutors such as Steve Haines, Ged Sumner, Colin Perrow and Kathlyne Ukleja who offered me the context to deepen my understanding of this innovative path so that I could share it with others.
I trained as a dancer and artist (Paris Sorbonne Nouvelle & Goldsmith College, London), I felt guided to explore various spiritual paths such as the Tao, Vedanta, and the tantric non-dualist approach of Kashmir Shivaism. This influences my inquiry about reality and deepens my yoga practice. The discovery of Yoga Nidra has re-actualized my understanding of processes such as relaxation, stillness, energy, healing and transformation. I can meet these qualities in the discipline of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, which I chose for its inclusive and non-invasive approach, primarily interested in health and balance in the client's system.
In 2009 I founded Connective Studio in Nîmes (South of France), a community place to explore our daily-life and reality in new ways. In this location I offer yoga, marmatherapy, cranio sacral therapy and massage. Interested in non-dogmatic ways of teaching, I love to explore the subtle body, the action of listening, perception, energetic principles active in all movements of life and a quality of presence welcoming our dual forces into a unifying flow.
Accreditation
Upon successful completion of the training you will be certified as a biodynamic craniosacral therapy practitioner.
