Denise’s background was initially in engineering and research. However her passion for understanding more about the body’s inbuilt intelligence, and her success in treating horses with Craniosacral therapy, led her to continue her studies to become a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist for people, and then broadening her studies to also include Kinesiology and Chi Kung. Denise is a certified Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist and has attained BCST status with the International Affiliation of Biodynamic Trainings (IABT), and is a member of the Pacific Association of Craniosacral Therapists (PACT).

Liz Kirkman graduated from Body Intelligence in 2012 and has been operating as Craniowaves since. She was transformed by the work in 2010 and has been a passionate advocate, working with acute and long term conditions as well as babies and children. She instigated the Wellington training and has enjoyed helping facilitate in 2013/14. She comes from a performance background, having taught performance for 12 years and is looking forward to marrying that passion for sharing information with her love of Cranio. Outside Craniosacral work, Liz enjoys performing as a singer and actress and traveling the country and world. She hopes to one day get back to Iceland where her 8 day holiday, turned into several months after falling in love with the place and people.

​I first experienced Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) as client and was amazed at the profound effect it had on my wellbeing and in the part it played in healing a broken neck incurred in a cycling crash. BCST so deeply resonated with me that I wanted to deepen my understanding of this holistic therapy by training with Body Intelligence. I have been drawn to exploring meditation, the healing arts and embodiment practices for over thirty years. While I have walked many different paths in life, I found my passion with BCST and support my practice through Qigong and meditation.
