Etienne Peirsman's Talking to the Heart Course In London
​
Etienne Peirsman, a pioneer in craniosacral therapy, brings his poetic and transformative teaching style back to London this October with a powerful new training: Talking to the Heart. This course, which is open to all, offers a rare opportunity to explore Etienne’s heart-centred approach to healing, centred around the reclaiming of the ‘original voice’ — a deep, intuitive expression that speaks directly from the body’s innate intelligence.
​
Known for guiding students into direct experiences of presence, love, and inner clarity, Etienne invites participants to journey into the emotional and energetic structures of the body, learning how to release trauma held in the heart and tissues. His teaching blends craniosacral principles with meditative awareness, vibrational sensitivity, and a deeply compassionate touch.

About the Course:
Talking to the Heart
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.
