In From My Hands and Heart, Kate Mackinnon interweaves her personal journey of using CST with case studies and detailed, easy-to-understand explanations of the theory behind it. Whether you’ve never heard of CST before, though it didn’t apply to you, or are currently undergoing treatments, this book has something for you.

Mackinnon guides you through creating a team of practitioners focused on your well-being, and explains how to help yourself at home between sessions. You’ll learn simple, safe techniques that almost anyone can perform and receive. Most important, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the amazing powers of the human body and how, with individualized support through CST, it can find its own way to balance and health.

— Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, 

founder of Healing from the Core and author of Full Body Presence: Learning to Listen to Your Body’s Wisdom

"I keep copies of Kate’s book in my treatment room and often refer clients to it for answers to questions about craniosacral therapy – what it is, how it works, what they can expect and most wonderfully, ways that they can fully participate in the sessions.  Sometimes when another therapist and I are doing an exchange we refer to Kate and her book as if she were there with us, mentoring us in some aspect of the work that often involves communication, patience and trust. It's a gentle book of information laced with inspiration."

9:00 am PST for 40-50 Minutes on Zoom

​​These free monthly Zoom calls have been held since 2020, and each year, there is an evolution. In 2026 we will explore what the words listed below mean to each of us. At the start of the call, I will give my ideas about the word, and everyone will be invited to share their thoughts. Listening to everyone, I distill each person’s thoughts into one or two words. Once the sharing is complete, I lead us through an internal guided exploration, dropping us into our embodied presence based on the certification I completed with Healing From the Core. During this time, I repeat each person's words of wisdom. After that is complete, there is an invitation to share thoughts, new awareness, or anything else before the call ends. It usually lasts between 40-50 minutes. Come willing to share and support one another.
