Galit levi - Osteopath
This course gave me very much, in terms of developing and fine-tuning my ability to feel with my hands.
It gave me an understanding of chain reactions and interrelations between the skull and all of the body systems, not only holistically but also specifically, in order to build a care-giving strategy.
The course included precise tests for checking motion limitations in the skull, the spinal column and the sacrum.
It taught me practical techniques that are also effective rather quickly, and can be integrated into the treatment methods.
It is a high-level practical course that enables the learner to fly high and think outside the box, and thus helps in treating complex cases.
Thank you so much,
I'd love to attend a follow-up course.
Tanya Roberts - Cranio-sacral Teraphist
I took a level one craniosacral training with Oren in July 2012, after having taken another level one with different teachers. Oren has extensive knowledge and passion that he shares willingly with his students. While his knowledge is vast, he structured the course in a logical and clear manner, carefully managing the content delivery so that students did not grow overwhelmed, with each lesson building on the foundation of the last. Oren's bio-mechanic approach and osteopathic training created a program in which I learned practically applied techniques that can be used to achieve relief in many cases.
Defne Erdur - Massage Therapist
I have been very impressed by the integrative cranio-sacral training that I have realized with Oren. Not only the technique's gentle efficiency but also Oren's ability to teach such an intangible subject matter, impressed me. How he was able to concretize the concepts and ideas, how he could teach us the gentle touch and sensing the changes in our patients body!? He is a great teacher teaching what seems totally not possible to teach. I was totally lost along the way and clearly found at the end of the training. I am greatful and looking forward to the upcoming chapters in our training.
Meital Peer - Physiotherapist and therapist in the Derech ha-Guf approach
I participated in Oren's Cranio-Sacral course. Oren ran the course with a lot of respect and with great investment. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology, as well as his professional know-how, are broad and profound. Oren is motivated by curiosity, and it is evident that he is very interested in passing on his knowledge, thus helping spread this treatment method and improve the quality of treatments. Before attending the course I heard many good things about Oren as a therapist, and after the course I can definitely recommend him also as a teacher.
Yehoshua Reinfeld - BPT - Certified physiotherapist
In terms of its contents, the course is about a hands-on method of treatment that is gentle to an extent that I was unfamiliar with. It relates to very many anatomical systems that I did know about, but that the physiotherapy curriculum does not at all deal with, diagnose or treat: body parts such as the skull, vertebrae C1 and C2, the hyoid and coccyx bones, and the faciae. In this course I learned dozens of practical techniques with clinical reasoning for understanding interrelationships and test results.
As far as teaching is concerned, Oren is highly professional and patient, and encourages questions. It is important for him that we understand and know the why and how of treatment, and that the treatment be precise, both in terms of the touch we apply and of our understanding. There were visual illustrations and the relationship with the students was very personal.
Adam Ossin - medical student
As a medical student I tend to be rather skeptic of many healing and therapeutic systems. However, Oren convinced me of the efficiency of Craniosacral Therapy first as when he treated me, and later on when I took his introductory workshop. The effects of the treatments were immediate and obvious. My whole body felt different, much more aligned, and both acute and and chronic pains I have had diminished or disappeared completely. Furthermore, the range of monition of joints (hips, shoulders and vertebrae) increased.
Oren has a great knowledge of human anatomy, and a great passion to this topic. As a teacher he is able to explain complex structures to both those with- and without a background in anatomy. His dedication to the students is apparent. He does not simply lecture, Oren makes sure each of the students understand the essentials.. In the workshop, the theory of Craniosacral Therapy was explained in a clear way. The practical parts of the workshop were highly useful in demonstrating and bring the theory to life. After a short, yet intensive workshop, most of the students were able to preform basic, yet potent, techniques
I highly recommend the workshop to anyone with an interest in medicine and healing.
Renee Sacharny - Chiropractor
I recommend this course for any chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage therapist
and any other person who work hands-on with clients.
What I have learned from this course is about the subtlety and the powerfulness of the work.
I already started implementing some of the things I learned and the results were absolutely miraculous and life changing for me as well as for my practice.
If you feel stuck in your practice, if you feel you are not moving, if your patients are not coming in,
or they are stalled in their case,
absolutely ,definitely, without hesitation - take this class!
You will not regret that you did, and you will have greater impact in the world!
Itzhak Dery - Osteopath
I participated in three of Oren Dotan's workshops. The workshops inspired me deeply
and have made a huge positive change in the way I work.
Oren brings a unique holistic approach to the work.
A treatment is an investigation of all the mysterious connections between different parts of the body; the structural, the visceral and the cranial systems…
And he backs everything up with immediate clinical proof!
Conor Doran
I am extremely grateful to have had the honor of studying under Oren Dotan.
He is a wonderful teacher and practitioner that will provide you with amazing knowledge
and understanding in your practice and studies.
After hearing first-hand accounts of his gift for healing from many people, I decided to attend his courses, and began a journey onto an unbelievable path.
Oren’s courses offer an understanding of the craniosacral system along with practical techniques to assist clients’ healing processes.
You will gain a greater understanding of anatomy and a deeper connection with your own body.
Oren’s approach is one-of-a-kind.
His understanding and knowledge of anatomy is complex, but he does not overwhelm his students with technical detail unless requested. Rather, he offers crucial information and provides the framework for further individual development.
After that, it is obviously up to you; as Oren says himself: Practice, practice, practice.
Jonathan Dashiff - MD, Orthopedic Surgeon
This system that Oren teaches takes science a step forward
in its ability to come up with guidelines that show that the diagnosis is correct,
treatment is correct and the results are reproducible.
Anyone that in their practice - be it osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists, carnio-sacral therapists or MDs - can learn this cranio sacral system from Oren and add
a very significant tool to their toolbox and increase the treatment options for their patients with predictable and reproducible results.
Luke Bache – Yoga Therapist, Yoga Teacher at BBC’s “The Retreat”:
I found the course to be really incredible.
I already had quite a lot of knowledge about anatomy but Oren really blew my mind with the amount of knowledge he gave us, and in a really practical way.
I always heard about fascia and about how it works in the body
but I had no idea we could feel it and just develop this really sensitive touch.
At the start of the course I really struggled to feel the fascia but at the end it felt almost easy to feel it.
And then we were adjusting the cranial, working with different stuff like dura matter (which you will learn about in the course)… I found it to be really practical.
Once the course is finished you can go and practice,
and you have a really wide knowledge of the topic,
and it’s really unique knowledge because Oren adds the principles of Osteopathy, Craniosacral and his unique touch…
Peter Moore – Massage Therapist
My experience of the course was great. It has changed me as a person…
It has given me more confidence, made me more present…
Using this system has not just been beneficial to me in terms of learning new skills,
and obviously the benefits that the patients get,
but also for my own peace of mind and spirituality,
being able to enjoy the moment and be present not only during treatments
but in my personal life as well.
