Through the combined practices of both Craniosacral work and Medical Qigong, a new approach to integrated natural wellness and holistic medicine has evolved over many years.

This model encompasses blending some of the most ancient Eastern models, medical Qigong, with the cutting edge of the evolution of Western medicine, Craniosacral work.

All the schools of craniosacral work will benefit from these teachings. Dr. Cloe has embraced, updated, and upgraded the Upledger Craniosacral model of Craniosacral work because she was privileged to be working right next to Dr. John Upledger for many years.

Indeed, world-renowned osteopath Dr. John Upledger, DO, OMM (1932-2012) invited Dr. Cloe Couturier to work by his side, at his clinic in Palm Beach County, Florida, in 1995. She worked at The Upledger Clinic and participated immensely in developing “the mother ship” for 24 years. She then moved on her own a few blocks to establish the next edge of Craniosacral work into CranioSacralQigong®.

Her approach to Craniosacral work started as a biodynamic osteopath and evolved into blending Upledger Craniosacral work with medical Qigong into what she continues to develop, CranioSacralQigong®.

CranioSacralQigong® has emerged as a new modality in its evolutionary process.

In honor of these revered lineages, Dr. Couturier invites the next generation of thirsty students to discover some of the most potent consciousness pathways one can establish in all dimensions of their lives through the teachings and practice of CranioSacralQigong®.

Despite being dealt some of the most challenging cards, the progression of her choices granted Dr. Couturier some of the most successful manifestations one can achieve in life, personally and professionally, and in practice.This book is an invitation for students who will feel worthy of learning and get empowered by a master.

“I am already mighty proud of all my current students and how well they are learning and evolving in all aspects of their lives, both personally and professionally. I am looking forward to the new ones that will also choose to study with me. “Dr. Cloe Couturier

When the rules of Qigong passed on diligently for thousands of years from worthy masters to worthy students are appropriately followed, one develops and embodies pathways to consciousness power. In seeking help for her son, diagnosed at four years old with DMD, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an incurable illness that came with the prognosis of a shortened life, Dr. Cloe Couturier ventured to deploy means that would transmute this outcome. In this multidimensional signature story, the author modifies her blog into empirical evidence of the emergence and the birthing of CranioSacralQigong® as a new modality, in its own evolutionary process. By combining Craniosacral work at its osteopathic root, with medical Qigong, Dr. Cloe Couturier demonstrates how a spontaneous update and an upgrade to each modality have merged into a biodynamic approach to health, wellness, and healing.

Dr. John Upledger D.O. recognized Dr. Cloe Couturier’s special gifts and abilities early on after her graduating from osteopathic college, and he personally invited her in 1995 to work right next to him with patients at his clinic. She therefore had the greatest privilege to be closely mentored by him, as she worked right by his side, in his prime, and till the end of his life. Dr. Cloe Couturier participated immensely in the development of what the Upledger Institute International Craniosacral community has named “the mother ship”.

Both Dr. John Upledger and John Matthew Upledger, his son, coached, promoted, and sponsored Dr. Cloe Couturier in her organic process towards the evolution of CranioSacralQigong®.

Under some of the most challenging conditions, patients worldwide who could not find help elsewhere have found the resolution, excellent health, and happiness in their work with Dr. Cloe Couturier and CranioSacralQigong®.

This is because of the quality of her unique skills, her passion for understanding and promoting our inherent gifts of healing, and her years of education and experience training under world-renowned masters.

She has had many brilliant teachers, masters, and innovators in their fields. But she finds the truest testament to these practices in the life of her most outstanding teacher, her son, Dorian R. Kallen. Her journey would be prompted when she was told by a neurologist who diagnosed Dorian at 4 years old with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy that there was no cure for this condition and that he would not be expected to live past his teens.

Dorian lived to be 32 after living his happiest, healthiest, and most prosperous life, surrounded by people who loved him deeply. Through her relationship with her son and daughter as a single mother, Dr. Couturier learned daily how precious life is, that it can be short, and how it is meant to be lived and appreciated to its fullest. She feels there can be no more powerful lesson, as every moment is a miracle and a blessing with which we ought to be continuously grateful and engaged.

The practice of CranioSacralQigong® evolved from meeting her personal needs first as a mother, caregiver, and practitioner for her son and clients.

Dr. Cloe Couturier has been practicing in Palm Beach County for over 27 years. She continues the great privilege of working with families of three generations, witnessing the power and evolution of her unique practice of CranioSacralQigong® and how people adopt and apply it to their health and wellness and their lives over the generations.
