Kind Words from Our Students & Clients

Body Therapist & Mother“Gary conveys the daily living principles of biodynamic craniosacral and polarity healing modalities in every step throughout his classes. You will not find a more profound learning experience both in class and during private sessions.”
C. A.
Psychotherapist“One thing I deeply appreciated about Gary as a teacher and mentor was his willingness to hear, indeed, solicit diverse points of view. He was never stuck on one dogma, rather, he was eternally curious and desirous of inclusion of all possibilities. This made the ‘space of BCST classes’ with Gary always feel alive! With deep gratitude.”
