The Human Embryo Embryology forms the core of every biodynamic training offered by Michael Shea Teaching. The embryo comes alive in the fluid body of the adult through the skills and abilities of the biodynamic practitioner.
Empathy-Compassion The Biodynamic model is based on the research regarding empathy and compassion. The practitioner learns somatic awareness skills in order to become consciously aware of the core of their body. This builds a compassionate response to clients.
Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy This series of classes focuses on work with infants and children. It is a specialty certification for advanced practice in biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Dr. Shea is a leading authority on working with infants and children biodynamically..
Advanced Training This series of courses is designed to help the practitioner palpate the embryo in the adult client. This means that the metabolism of the early embryo that generates form and repairs the body is available via the perception of Primary Respiration and contacting the wholeness of one’s own body.
Basic Training The basic training course consists of 250 hours. There are 200 hours of classroom time and 50 hours of practice sessions in between classes. This is a one year training program with a seminar every other month.
Biodynamic Practice Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is the creative application of a set of principles. It is about establishing a relationship between Stillness and Compassion.

Love. Containment. Self-regulation. Health.

I found Michael Shea to be the quintessential teacher. If you want to know anything (or EVERYTHING!) about cranial work, do not hesitate to take his course. He has the gift of being able to convey hard data one moment, and in the next, relate to a practitioner’s or client’s somatic experience. The info he imparted only made my work with the infants in the Neonatal Unit at Scottsdale Healthcare better. He teaches with a warmth and brilliance you will enjoy.

The best aspects of Michael's teaching are the spaciousness he brings to the experience, and the safety in the classroom, in the group, and in practice time on the tables. His style incorporates humor, and his presence is warm and accepting.
Sally Stuckey RN, LMBT (Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist)

Michael’s teaching provides such a smooth transition and flow between the experiential and cognitive aspects, not only of the material, but each day of the training. Michael’s teaching style is perfect for how I best absorb and integrate learning experiences.
Karen Madison, Certified Massage Therapist

The rhythm of each day and the whole class is brilliant. The invitations to stillness via different windows and even through the expression of movement is delightful. The vessel that Michael Shea creates in his training is safe and full of love and laughter.
Monica Flamenco, Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher and Craniosacral Therapist

Michael’s heartful, humorous and humble approach to teaching is so appreciated. He has a gift at bringing difficult to understand concepts and big ideas into clear form. Thank you.
Waller Thompson, Ed.D.

I studied with Michael Shea because of his amazing background and his ability to clearly and fully relate the information, the depth of knowledge and his generosity of heart. Look him up and experience his level 1 before you make a decision to work with any other teacher. I came to believe he was the best teacher out there and I still believe that 10 or more years later.
