Pacific Association of Craniosacral Therapists

PACT Membership

With the increasing availability of professional training opportunities through accredited PACT providers in New Zealand, Australia, South East Asia, and Canada, PACT’s membership continues to grow.

PACT has strict membership criteria that its prestigious training graduates must meet to become members. Clients can rest assured that a PACT member is a highly skilled and committed practitioner of the biodynamic approach.

Its members are expected to provide the following as practitioners:

• High level of knowledge and skills
• Continual professional development
• Adherence to the professional code of conduct
• Providing opportunities for professional growth and development for like-minded Craniosacral Therapists

Membership Types

Those who have completed Biodynamic Craniosacral Training at a PACT accredited school or college are eligible to join PACT. 

They may also consider applicants from internationally recognised training providers for membership if their courses meet the PACT criteria.

Professional Membership

Professional Members must complete a recognized course of study in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and hold the corresponding qualifications. 

There are different membership requirements in Asia, North America, Australia, and New Zealand depending on the legal requirements of each country.

Tutor/Supervisor Membership

This PACT membership is available to tutors teaching foundational and postgraduate training at PACT affiliated schools and/or supervisors actively overseeing PACT members.

Membership is open to teachers and supervisors who have met the qualifications and standards to become approved PACT teachers and/or supervisors.

Student Membership

Students attending biodynamic Craniosacral Schools that the Executive Committee has accredited or who are currently undergoing accreditation may join as student members. 

Student members may keep their membership for the duration of their training, provided that the training does not exceed three years.
