Settling® is a unique set of simple,  body-oriented skills that helps you discover your own Inherent Health in order  to resolve the effects of stress and trauma in your nervous system. Settling® uses gentle touch, perceptual awareness and guided exercises to discharge excess nervous system energies and  bring about deep relaxation and balance.

Gary Peterson is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST ®) who has been teaching and practicing body-centered energy therapies for over 30 years. He teaches Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy trainings and Polarity Therapy trainings at various locations around the United States, as well as classes in Settling, birth imprinting and other therapeutic work for the nervous system. His teaching and private practice are inspired by his strong desire to understand and alleviate the deep causes of suffering brought about by stress and trauma to the nervous system.

Gary’s book, Settling: Simple Ways to Calm Your Nervous System, will be published in 2015. This self-help manual gives you a set of vital skills for regulating your nervous system to experience balance and relaxation. Gary and his wife Bonnie have 3 grown children and live in Petaluma,, CA.
