Tutors
-
Nancy Schrauth
Senior Tutor
Dr. Schrauth currently lives and has a bodywork practice in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Since young she was interested in natural, holistic, health, she followed her instincts to pursue the source of Health. She studied Yoga with a variety of teachers, which led her to study various types of body work in order to help others restore health and well-being. She completed Chiropractic school in 1989, which gave her a strong appreciation of alignment and insight into the workings of our miraculous body, but it was BCST that shifted her understanding of Health to something internal and individual.
She moved to Singapore in 1989 after chiropractic school, where she owned and operated a busy clinical practice for ~30 years. She completed a foundation training with Franklyn Sills in 2001, joined the Body Intelligence tutor team in 2008 and taught and traveled extensively throughout South East Asia, including India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Dubai, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Israel, and Australia.
Along with building a clinical practice in the Twin Cities she continues to teach in the 2-year foundation training for Body Intelligence Trainings. Her practice and teaching reflect her passion for anatomy, physiology and natural holistic health; she utilizes BCST, a therapeutic touch and promotes lifestyle habits that optimize health and well-being. She is guided by her intention to support that which within us is whole.
During the time spent abroad, she acquired some knowledge from ancient and traditional healing arts such as Ayurveda, TCM, Chi Gong and some of the more esoteric shamanic practices throughout South East Asia. Her teaching and travel experience has given her a deep appreciation for diverse cultural nuances and an ability to communicate complex concepts in a simple and direct way. She offers individual BCST sessions, teaches embodied meditation, yoga and holistic lifestyle practices at corporate events and retreats, and conducts therapeutic yoga/chi gong classes. She moved back to the Twin Cities to be closer to family and enjoys spending time with them and in the natural environment.

Marianne D'Amore
Senior Tutor
Dr D’Amore has been practicing her dynamic blend of acupuncture, nutritional counseling, chiropractic, meditation, yoga and Tai Qi for more than 30 years in Newport Beach, California. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy brings the dimensions of wholeness, resonance, stillness and vitality to her practice in one complete package. Her philosophical foundation is based on the principle that the life force (aka as Qi, Prana, the Breath of Life) will find its most optimal state of well being and will move towards a deepening of vitality as its natural rhythmic powers are supported and the constrictions of trauma, be it physical, mental, emotional or psychic, are softened and reduced. That all things throughout the multiverse resonate as an interconnected whole and that the infinite, unbounded, nonjudgmental nature of love and oneness motivates the path towards wellness and optimum functioning for all. It is her desire to increase the well being of all through self-awareness and resonance with nature and to bring wisdom and appreciation for the beauty and fullness of the earth as Gaia so to achieve a sustainable, peaceful and bountiful existence for all beings.

Jean Selinger
Assistant Tutor
Jean graduated from massage therapy in 1983. A few years later she began teaching massage in Regina at the Western College Of Remedial Massage Therapy while continuing to grow her clinical practice. She expanded her understanding of the body with studies in myofascial release, craniosacral therapy and several movement based therapies. Her craniosacral explorations began with the Upledger Insitute and continued when she studied with Hugh Milne. Her first Biodynamic craniosacral training was with Georgia Milne and from there she went on to study with Body Intelligence. The overarching theme of Jean’s career has been a gradual tendency toward the gentler techniques within each modality, be it massage, connective tissue, movement or craniosacral. Jean has found, both on a clinical and personal level, that Biodynamic Craniosacral is the gentlest and most transformative therapy she has encountered. The healing that arises from gently holding someone without an agenda and with a deep respect for their health and inner wisdom, continues to astound her. Jean started learning massage because she was curious about healing. Her curiosity has now bloomed into a lifelong passion. Thirty five years later, Jean is still eager to learn about the human capacity to heal. She practices in Regina where she finds constant inspiration in the horses, dogs and people of all ages that she has the privilege of accompanying on their healing journey.
Accreditation
Upon successful completion of the training you will be certified as a biodynamic craniosacral therapy practitioner.
