The Upledger Legacy

Founded by visionary osteopathic physician Dr. John E. Upledger, the Upledger Institute has trained over 125,000 therapists worldwide in CranioSacral Therapy—a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s ability to self-correct by releasing tension deep in the central nervous system.

For over 40 years, our techniques have been used by osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, sports instructors, coaches, midwives, and energy workers alike. Our commitment to clinical excellence, trauma-informed care, and somatic intelligence remains unmatched.

Why Bali,
Why Now?

Bali has long been a hub for global seekers, wellness practitioners, and holistic innovators. But until now, formal CranioSacral Therapy training was not available in Indonesia.

We chose to open our first school here because we believe in the power of place and the deep healing energy that flows through this island.

Upledger Institute Bali is not just a school. It’s a sanctuary for learning, unlearning, and becoming.
