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.

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.

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 within each of us and within the relational field we share.

Born in Korea and adopted into a family in the United States at the age of 17 months, Kristin has a personal understanding of how our earliest experiences shape our lives and our relationships. This understanding, together with her professional experience, informs her deep respect for each person's unique history and the ways our experiences continue to shape us throughout life.

At the heart of Kristin’s work is the understanding that we are whole from the very beginning, and that a living intelligence supports our growth, development, and healing throughout life. Drawing from her diverse training in pre- and perinatal (PPN) somatics, parent-infant mental health, trauma resolution, nervous system regulation, bodywork, and energy work, she brings an integrative and relational presence to her work. She values the opportunity to meet people where they are, with curiosity and compassion, while trusting in the wisdom of the body and the natural unfolding of each person’s process.
