Carme Renalias has over 20 years of experience as a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist. Her practice has been deeply influenced by Mike Boxhall’s work, Deepening into Stillness, as well as the pre- and perinatal somatic work developed by Ray Castellino.

Carme was a professional dancer for 25 years. This experience has given her an intimate understanding of the body and its capacity to sense, express, and connect.

Since 2014, Carme has run her own school, Contacting Stillness, based in Girona, Spain, in a small village in the countryside where she has lived for the past 33 years. She is a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral teacher and is currently teaching her 11th two-year BCST training. She also travels internationally to offer BCST and PPN workshops.

Carme has collaborated with the Castellino Training in Spain since 2012 and has been part of the Castellino teaching team since 2021. She is an approved Womb Surround Process Workshop facilitator and supervisor, and an assistant in the Family Practitioner Training.

She is the mother of two wonderful young men.

Mary Jackson has been married since 1987, is the mother of 2 children who were born at home, and has been featured in 11 books and 5 movies. She participates in cutting edge research about imprints that occur around the time of conception, pregnancy and birth and how they affect us throughout the rest of our lives and what it takes to heal from challenges in these experiences.

Mary has been a home birth Midwife since 1975 and has attended over 2,500 births in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Ojai, California areas. She is now attending the home births of a second generation of babies.

In the first year after incorporating these pre and perinatal approaches in her midwifery practice her home to hospital transfer rate went from 20% to 6%.

She is an approved Castellino Process Workshop Facilitator and co-teaches the Castellino Pre and Perinatal Foundation Training. She is also a frequent speaker at national and international conferences and leads trainings throughout the world.

Kristin Sipley is a somatic wellness practitioner, educator, and mentor who supports individuals, couples, families, and groups around the world in reconnecting with the inherent health and wisdom that exists within them and within the relational field between them.

Her work is grounded in the understanding that we are whole from the very beginning, and that a living intelligence that originally formed us continuously supports our growth, development, and healing throughout life. Drawing from her training in pre- and perinatal (PPN) somatics, parent-infant mental health, trauma resolution, nervous system regulation, bodywork, and energetics, Kristin weaves together somatic practices with compassion and depth. Her approach is both integrative and relational, creating a safe and spacious field where resilience, connection, and transformation can naturally unfold.
