Body College Waterford 2026
Body College is excited to announce our second biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST) training in Waterford, starting in Oct 2026.
The course is suitable for existing health professionals considering adding a new modality to their work as well as individuals wanting to start a career in an exciting and evolving therapy.
Body College is fully accredited with the CranioSacral Ireland. We are the only biodynamic course in Ireland. Within the course we teach all the anatomy you need to be an excellent BCST. To practice in the Ireland it is easy to get insurance after graduating from Body College. It is recommended, but voluntary, to join CranioSacral Ireland. If you no have previous anatomy background the you may need to do extra Anatomy and Physiology training in order to join the CranioSacral Ireland register.
Body College is fully affiliated with the International Affiliation of Biodynamic Trainings (IABT) standards of training. All IABT courses are 700 hours of teaching – 350 hours of direct class teaching (ten five day seminars of 35 hours) and 350 hours of homestudy.
The bulk of the homestudy is 150 treatments given over the lifecycle of the course. Homestudy between seminars includes reflections on your progress, short essays, drawing, reading and meditation practice. Plus, there are three case history projects in the final year and a longer write up on a clinical condition. Contact skills are assessed via regular feedbacks sessions on tutors during class time.
The course is designed so participants can attend the first seminar without committing to the full course. Seminar one is a powerful introduction into basic contact skills and relating to biodynamic movements. Seminar one provides an opportunity to experience the approach and appreciate the extent of the curriculum.
