Terry L Collinson BCST, RCST, SRP

Terry has run a busy Craniosacral Therapy (CST) practice in Sydney, Australia, since 1995 and completed the Advanced Diploma with Resonance Trainings in 2003. She continues to be inspired by the profound nature of this work, in the body’s drive towards health and in its innate ability to heal itself.

Terry trained in Craniosacral Therapy with Franklyn Sills and Paul Vick in London and at the Karuna Institute in Devon, UK in 1994/5, subsequently training to teach the biodynamic approach for over five years with Resonance Trainings and Paul Vick in Australia and New Zealand.

After graduating in Edinburgh as Physiotherapist in 1972, Terry has had articles published, presented conference papers and lectures and taught for most of her professional life in Edinburgh, London and Australia. Almost from the beginning Terry developed a keen interest in working with babies, children and families and she was a teacher with the Childbirth Education Association and consultant to the Nursing Mothers Association for many years.

Terry is also a Reiki practitioner and deeply acknowledges her teacher, Barbara McGregor, and the practice of Reiki to the beginnings of her consciousness of the metaphysics behind disease, the mind-body connection and felt sense of how the body really heals. Subsequently this led to her own development of a biodynamic way of being, and being with the client’s system as therapist.

Terry teaches the biodynamic and resonant approach to Craniosacral Therapy in Australia and New Zealand with Brendan Pittwood from New Zealand. Brendan has a background in Osteopathy, he is a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and Pre and Peri-natal Psychologist. Together they teach with Stillness Trainings, which offers introductory, professional Diploma and postgraduate courses in craniosacral therapy and associated trainings such as Birth Process Workshops.

Terry’s other passions are Dru Yoga, Pilates, walking, writing, playing games, especially Bridge!, her three children, grandchildren and her cat, Poppy.

Terry practices from the Nature Care Wholistic & Medical Centre, Crows Nest, in Sydney's Lower North Shore, and from the Stillness Centre in the Central Coast area of NSW in Phegans Bay.
