​
Etienne Peirsman is a globally respected figure in craniosacral therapy, renowned for his transformative teaching and practice. With a career spanning over 30 years, he has founded institutions like the Peirsman CranioSacral Academy in the Netherlands and the CranioSacral Professional Organization in Holland, where he is an honorary member. He has taught extensively in Europe, the United States, and Asia, including at prestigious schools such as the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts and Bastyr University.
​
Peirsman’s approach is rooted in a deep understanding of both biomechanical and biodynamic craniosacral techniques. His work emphasizes the Heart's expression, the long tide, and their profound connection to meditative and enlightened states. Known for his unique, compassionate teaching style, Peirsman integrates meditative practices with a practical, no-nonsense methodology, drawing on over 40 years of meditation experience.
​
He is also the author of Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children, a widely recognized resource in the field. Peirsman’s philosophy encourages a shift away from viewing craniosacral therapy as a purely therapeutic intervention, stating, “Drop the word therapy. It is not part of who and what we are. Face it, you are perfect, and your heart is perfect.”

Upcoming Courses with Etienne
​
Talking to the Heart October 2-5, 2025
​
This unique training, led by Etienne Peirsman, offers a profound opportunity to explore Somato-Emotional Trauma Release through the lens of the ‘original voice’ — that deeply intuitive, embodied form of expression that speaks directly from the intelligence of the body. Etienne, known internationally for his heart-centred and deeply transformational teaching, brings decades of experience in craniosacral therapy and somatic awareness to this work.
​
Inspired by the ancient Master Tilopa’s description of direct knowing as “hitting the nail on the head,” this course will help you attune to the quiet, truthful language of cells, tissues, and organs — bypassing the interference of the thinking mind. You’ll learn to recognise the body’s inner communication and to engage with it gently yet precisely, fostering the conditions for emotional release, integration, and healing.
A key part of the training involves working with the heart and the energetic shield that often forms around it — the heart protector. Etienne guides participants into a space where these protective layers can be contacted and softened. Because the depth and effectiveness of any therapeutic encounter is intimately tied to the therapist’s own capacity for love, clearing the heart space becomes not just personal work, but foundational professional practice.
​
This class is practical, embodied, and transformative. Etienne’s teaching creates the safety and spaciousness necessary for genuine change. Participants often report that this work unlocks something essential — allowing joy, vitality, and authenticity to return to both their inner lives and their practice. If joy is waiting to be expressed, this is the doorway. What opens here may change your life forever.

Brain Masterclass Part 1 (April 11-14, 2026) & Part 2 (April 16-19, 2026)​
Two Stand-Alone Intensives • One Transformative Journey
This is more than a class—it is a journey into the heart of the brain, where neutrality meets presence, and the mystery of matter begins to glow with light. Over two stand-alone masterclasses (or a full 8-day immersion), Etienne will guide you in unlocking the architecture of healing, helping you listen to the language of the brain, and teaching you to work where energy materialises into form.
​​​​​​​​
Whether you join for one masterclass or both, you will:
-
Learn practical, powerful techniques for treating the brain and central nervous system
-
Dive into deep anatomical structures often untouched in most trainings
-
Discover how to feel, see, and repair through the ventricles, glial field, and brain lobes
-
Tap into the neural stem cells and regenerative intelligence of the body
-
Experience how No Mind presence changes everything in treatment
-
Harmonise the symmetry of the brain and awaken what Etienne calls the “Buddha Brain”
​​
This work is for practitioners ready to deepen their presence, precision, and sensitivity—and explore the electric edge where healing begins.
​​
​​​
Masterclass Part 1: Brain and the Stress Cascade (April 11-14, 2026​
​
This class focuses on the special skills needed to interpret and experience brain matter—the subtle realms of tissue and energy, neutrality and awareness. Together we’ll explore:
​
-
The Stress Cascade and its effects across the nervous system
-
Trauma centres and their corresponding brain nuclei
-
The Ventricular System, Hypothalamus, Hippocampus, Locus Coeruleus, and more
-
How to treat the Reticular Activating System (RAS) for lasting nervous system regulation
-
The heart-brain connection, where coherence and healing emerge
-
How to integrate and balance pathways that cross the midline, creating unity from multiplicity
You will refine your touch until it becomes a language, and use it to support the integration of both structure and spirit.

Masterclass Part 2: Deeper Structures, New Pathways (April 16-19, 2026)
This advanced class expands the territory to include powerful work with deep brain architecture, expanding your sensitivity and giving you tools for real-world clinical application. You’ll learn to:
​
-
Treat the Cerebellum, its three lobes, vermis, and nuclei—unlocking movement, balance, and integration
-
Address and harmonise all major brain lobes and their cycles: Frontal, Temporal, Parietal, Occipital
-
Explore deeper regions like the Visual Cortex, Pyramids, Claustrum, Capsules, and Corpus Callosum
-
Understand and treat Basal Ganglia, Septum, Mammillaries, Anterior Cingulate, and more
-
Support brain function through the four blood vessel quadrants
-
Enter the mysterious world of glial cells—the threshold where energy meets form, and where nothingness becomes healing potential
You’ll also explore homeostatic pathways, releasing static charges, and learn how to restore their natural rhythmic flow. These insights are not only for your clients—they invite your own evolution. As Etienne teaches: “You will look into your own mirror, and what once was trauma will now become adventure.”
