CSTA Conference Travel Update - Getting to Colet House

'Birth & Rebirth' CSTA Annual Conference 2026 | Sat 17 Oct 2026 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM | Colet House,W149DA

A quick travel update ahead of the event.

Barons Court Tube Station is currently partially closed, with westbound trains not stopping at the station due to planned maintenance. Eastbound trains are stopping as normal.

TfL’s current guidance is that if you’re travelling westbound to Barons Court, you should continue to Hammersmith and change there for an eastbound District or Piccadilly line train.

Alternatively, Colet House is around a 10-minute walk from Hammersmith Tube Station, which may be a straightforward option depending on your journey.

Please check TfL’s latest travel information and plan your route before setting off.

Via Dr Danny Sandra, founder and host of the International Cranio Research Congress -

Research can begin from within, with what we sense, notice and question in practice.

It may begin with something you notice repeatedly, a question a client raises, or an experience you find difficult to explain. Those observations deserve a place in the research conversation.

In a recent article for The Fulcrum, I reflected on how much knowledge already exists across our field, and how much of it remains scattered. The Cranio Research Congress is a place to bring that knowledge together.

That is why I invite therapists to the congress as researchers, too. Bring the questions and observations that arise in your practice. Share them with others, examine them alongside scientific work, and help shape what we might investigate next.

On 9–10 October, we'll gather for the fourth edition of the congress, Cranio & the 6 Senses. I hope you'll join us for the presentations and for the conversations they open up.

Registration for live online attendance remains open until 8 October.

CSTA Presents:
Listening to Fatigue: Supporting Clients with Chronic Energy Depletion
A CPD Workshop open to CSTA members and non-members
Saturday 7 November 2026, Wi******er

Bookings are now open for our focused half-day CPD workshop for postgraduate craniosacral therapists wishing to deepen their understanding, practical skills and clinical sensitivity in working with clients experiencing depletion from chronic fatigue/ME, fibromyalgia and thyroid imbalances.

Led by Rebecca Rodford, we will explore the key underlying patterns that often shape these complex fatigue-inducing conditions, from first a medical perspective and then through the lens of traditional knowledge, energetic understanding, and insights from complementary health modalities.

The workshop offers a grounded, compassionate framework for working safely and ethically with highly sensitive, depleted, or fragile systems.

You will explore key anatomical and endocrine areas of focus, including the impact of nervous system capacity and hypersensitivity on burnout, and other low-energy states. We’ll also learn gentle, adapted approaches to treatment, and develop greater awareness around pacing, resonance and boundaries, and practitioner self-care.

You will gain:

A clearer understanding of fatigue-related conditions in clinical practice
Integration of safe, adapted craniosacral approaches for fragile systems
Insight into therapeutic pacing, boundaries, and sustainable self-care in fatigue-focused practice

When: Saturday 7th November, 10am - 1pm (Join us for an optional lunch together afterwards - not included in cost).

Where: Wi******er Royal Hotel

Tickets: £75 for CSTA members

Rebecca Rodford runs her Craniosacral Therapy practice clinics in Hampshire, bringing together a thoughtful clinical approach, a background in social anthropology and communications, and a never-ending interest in ongoing research. Her work is shaped by both professional study and personal experience of fatigue-related conditions, giving her a nuanced understanding of the physical and emotional complexities of chronic energy depletion.

Rebecca is passionate about supporting practitioners to work in ways that are grounded, reflective, and ethically sound. She believes that effective care for people experiencing fatigue requires not only knowledge of physiology and nervous system awareness, but also a trauma-informed approach that recognises the lived experience of illness, honours individual capacity, and prioritises safety, consent, and compassionate practice.

Through her teaching, Rebecca aims to help practitioners develop confidence in working with fatigue presentations while remaining curious, evidence-aware, and firmly rooted in ethical, person-centred care. Find out more at www.elementalspace.uk
