Assisted by:

 Jason Jackson - 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. He has also trained through the Upledger Institute. 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, with 5 Post Graduate Trainings, and a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage at Wellpark College.
