teaching and workshops
Upcoming Craniosacral Thereapy course Fall 2023!
Dear seeker,
I have been teaching and mentoring massage therapists in craniosacral work since 1999 when I joined the staff at the Swedish Institute for massage therapy in NYC.
At the time Craniosacral was the new kid on the block, and students were still struggling with the energetic concepts which today are naturally practised and accepted in many forms of meditations, body and spiritual work.
I continue to offer craniosacral therapy training privately and in massage therapy schools as a continuing education provider.
I am approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a continuing education provider and accepted by the state of NY and other states for LMT license renewal.
Please visit the website often as I add new classes and updates.
Thank you and see you in class!

“Was so wonderful meeting you and taking your course this past weekend. I enjoyed myself so much and look forward to coming up there again and getting a session from you!”
Joanna, licensed Massage Therapist
“I was re-reading my notes from last week’s class with appreciation. This workshop was very interesting as was the last I took with you earlier this year.”
Marie Claude
“Nurit is a responsible and wise teacher as well as an experienced healer. She is very clear and knows how to transmit and express the materials of the class I took. In the two-day intro course, Nurit guided us with confidence and love; it's very important to feel safe because you can disappear for 30 minutes at a time (which only felt like 10min). I recommend taking a class if you are interested in learning this wonderful modality”.
working with your dreams class
letting mystery in with dreams and imagery
I teach dreaming and imagery based on Sapphire. The work is being initiated and carried forward at the School of Images in NYC under the guidance of Catherine Shainberg, PhD.
One of the greatest challenges of working with dreams is the ability to open oneself to the mystery. Dreams are magical.
Today we are used to getting rational and analyzed answers to most questions we have through the technology at our fingertips. As a result, our imagination suffers. Very little is left to the imagination.
Opening yourself up to mystery is opening yourself to dreaming, imagination, and creativity. To form a relationship with your dreams, you need dialogue and conversation.
Your dreams have the power to tell you so much about who you are, what’s blocking your journey, and how to transform.
in this basic dreaming class you will learn:
-
how to remember your dreams
-
the different kinds of dreams
-
the key levels and key elements when looking “to open” a dream
-
a series of steps to be used individually or in groups for working with your dreams
The class is experiential. We will work with one dream that will be selected by the class participant. Having completed this class you will be able to open and get to know better your own dreams and their meaning.
For groups of 3 or more, I can schedule a custom dreams class at a time convenient to you – email me to discuss options.
working with cancer and chronic illnesses
a masterful program to help gain control over your health
You know how it goes... you get that diagnosis, and everyone and their brother is filled with advice.
"Take this, do this, this worked for me." It's exhausting.
You can't even say hello anymore without someone asking you how you are feeling and giving you their solution. And deep inside resides your truth, which includes:
- What you need
- How to access healing
- What will be most beneficial to you
reclaim your health!
I am offering you a unique healing program based on the work of the late healer Colette Aboulker-Muscat, designed to remind your body of its healing potential within, and address the physical, emotional, and spiritual sources of the illness through the limitless power of the mind.
After all, recovering from cancer isn’t just about your body - it’s also about healing the mind, the body, and its belief systems as well.
Discover incredible spiritual tools and invaluable support and mentorship:
Twice a month we will meet as a group (virtual is a possibility) and you’ll master truly holistic mental imagery cancer reversing exercises. Throughout the month you will be given plenty of time to practice your chosen imagery exercises to deepen your experience.
As your powerful self emerges, you’ll be lifted and celebrated.
