Cathy Ridgway, OTR/L, CST
I have been an Occupational Therapist since1982. I graduated from The Ohio State
University, School of Allied Health Professions, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy. I worked as an Occupational Therapist at Shriners Hospitals for Children from 1985-2013.
I became fascinated with CranioSacral Therapy (CST) during my first course. I was 8 months pregnant and had just been told I would need to go on bedrest the remainder of my pregnancy. I attended the four day course anyway, and volunteered to be the first on the demonstration table! The pain in my hip dissolved; my ribcage released; my abdomen softened; my jaw released; and I felt great all over! I returned to work full time up until my due date!!
I know I could not have done it without the CranioSacral work!!
That was 1994…Now, I am "Techniques Certified" through the Upledger Institute, founded by John Upledger, DO,OMM, who pioneered the field of CranioSacral Therapy. I continue to study and grow in both knowledge and skill. My intuitive hands are my greatest asset!
I am a life long learner, becoming energized after each class!
In 2015 I attended 3 Healing from the Core classes taught by Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, CST-D, CMT
