"it was the most profound and universally applicable teaching that
I ever attended."
Erzsebet Pitlu MS, MA
“A next step in the evolution of the profession. It builds a
framework for understanding chronic illness and how we can better
our success in treatment. It uses an integrative approach to
defining and treating the patient and their illness. Solihin is a
gifted clinician and a has a wealth of knowledge he imparts to
students."
Dr. Janice Blumer, Bend, OR
“Solihin introduced me to being able to palpate human, animal,
vegetative and material rhythms within the normal CRI. For the
first time these palpatory experiences of the dominant rhythm can
be used to initiate change, lasting and permanent, in patients. For
any osteopath who specializes in the cranial field, this course
will help us treat patient more effectively - especially those
patients in which we palliate - those with physical as well as
emotional and psychosomatic complaints."
Dr. Keith Kale, Portland, OR
-"This is the most consistently effective, profoundly
transformative work I have encountered in 22 years of service in
the healing arts. I enthusiastically recommend it for both personal
and professional evolution."
Rhonda Morando, Portland, OR
"The CFD workshops invite participants to not only learn a
protocol, but to integrate an awareness of life forces encouraged
by the protocol into their own lives. The four-part structure
allowed me to grow my awareness in a step-by-step fashion that
facilitated my own ability to integrate the material, practice it,
and witness its power and effects in myself and in others.
The workshops create a unique and supportive community for
understanding the dynamism and vitality of the CFD work. I
loved the experience of the workshops and the model it has provided
me for connecting to and allowing truly human transformation and
inner awareness."
Kelly Le Fave, Portland, OR
"The richness of this work is such that it will be with me for
life. Through this work I am able to reclaim myself, my
inheritance. It gives me the certainty that I am on the right
path and hope of real transformation."
Fernanda Moreno, Portland, OR
"I found my personal growth process to be indicative of the
progressive modules themselves. With each new level of the
life process revealed, my understanding of my own journey opened up
in richness and depth. This work is tremendously textured and
full, both in a therapeutic and in a personal context. I
would recommend the cranial series to anyone, be they a health
practitioner by vocation or simply someone seeking tools to better
understand and shed light on the grand and noble process of life
itself."
Jennifer Buys, LMT LicA, Portland, OR
"My work with Cranial Fluid Dynamics has shown me a richness and
magnitude to the capacity for human change and growth unparalleled
in eight years of psychology training and five years as a
psychotherapist. The dimensions of physical, emotional, and
spiritual shifts I have seen with patients after I took the CFD
series are remarkable to say the least. I am most excited
about the added benefit CFD will give to my patients on a
diagnostic level in my future career as a Naturopathic
Physician. This work truly "Finds the cause" of disease and
imbalance. Most importantly, learning and practicing CFD has
helped me immeasurably along the path to being a better human being
and therefore a better mother."
Christie Winkelman MA, Student National College of Naturopathic
Medicine
"This has been a very spiritual awakening for me. Learning to
aspire to my noble self and keeping me on the path has helped me
with my personal life. Putting myself in a place of surrender
when facing challenging situations as well as everyday challenges
has been a great experience for me. This is work that I can
take with me everywhere I go and touch people in a highly spiritual
and rewarding way. Thank you for sharing this work with me
and others so that we may go out and share it with others."
Michelle Baxter LMT, MD
"It is rare to come across a perspective etched in brillance, and
positive spirit that changes your world view. I felt so challenged,
uplifted and a bit changed. Thank you."
Co Carew, MO
"I have been using cranial manipulation in my practice for 17
years. However, since I have begun using CFD I have seen more
profound results in my clients - ages 4 months to 65 years - than
with any other technique."
Dana Stuart-Bullock, MS, PT
"I have been a physical therapist for twenty-nine years and have
studied and practiced a multitude of techniques, but felt that
there was something missing in my work with patients. Cranial Fluid
Dynamics has added the dimension to my work that was missing. Now I
feel that I can get to the source of my client's problems and help
them recover. The changes that I have seen are truly
amazing!"
Gene Geeza, PT
"I feel my passion and curiosity being perpetually renewed as I
integrate this work more deeply into my life."
Maj Clarstedt, LMT
"The synergy of learning Cranial Fluid Dynamics infused with the
clarity of the life forces is brilliant"
Aiko Aiyana
"When I touch another human being and have the privilege of being
shown their fluid system, I feel a tremendous validation of the
inner movement of life."
Anita Soos
"The work is an integrated model that offers the opportunity for
true change. I have experienced the changes personally, and my
patient population continues to clear the painful patterns they
have held for years. Solihin Thom is a clear, thorough, inspired
teacher and I recommend the work for all those who are ready to
"be" in their lives."
Caron M. Hunter, L.M.T.
"What I love about this work is how it supports the process of the
client becoming conscious of their own inner resources to better
themselves and I get the gift of being witness."
Beata Moreno, PT
"The CFD courses have been exponentially growth producing for
myself and my work. Understanding of the Life Forces complements
this process, widening the understanding of human nature and
evolution."
Syna Bournazos, MT
"CFD has helped me change patterns that I've dealt with all my
life. It's helped me to see where I've come from and the gifts and
challenges that it has brought me. That insight has allowed me to
choose who I am and where want to go in my life."
Kimberly Pieslak, ND
"The work is profound and subtle. It leads me to a deeper reverence
for the magnificence of the gift of life, and a gentler acceptance
of it in its complexity. And to be able to help others in this way
goes beyond words..."
Sheila Cronin, MS, LMT
"This workshop series offers tools to get to the root of illness
and dysfunction by allowing the entire being to communicate. It
helps us to look further than just the physical; for the work and
protocol allows us to 'read' the inherited, emotional, habitual and
mental aspects of someone. I see that most of us therapists get
stuck in our focus primarily on the physical or emotional, but do
not see or have the training to widen our focus."
Cheri Denise Brown LMT, Educator
"The CFD series is a fascinating in-depth way of looking at life.
All aspects of life. The work is challenging to learn but
rewarding. I am pleased to offer this understanding to my clients.
Thanks for your efforts putting this together."
Nanci Pascoe LMT
"A unique bridge between the physical and the unseen elements that
influence us. These courses should help any practitioner assist
their clients in working through their life's discomfort."

"I appreciated Solihin's positive, accepting (unconditional)
demeanor throughout this course. Metaphorical concepts of the body
as a 'house' were initially difficult for me to learn, but now have
a grasp of where Solihin and the paradigm taught, is about. The
concept and method is interesting and appealing...so it is now a
matter of practicing and becoming more familiar with it.
Thanks!"
Mark Mason, DC
"The overall presentation was excellent, even for those students
who did not have much of a medical background. The class allowed
and required student participation during each class, which most
classes do not, in my experience. This allows for expansion of
training. The class gelled during the last module, as the years
understanding took full hold, and each participant helped one
another during it, which greatly brought the sense of integration
of understanding and cohesion together. It has expanded my
knowledge, and has allowed me to understand and work with these
forces at a different level."
