Online Courses with Beth Sanderson & Carolyn Stevens Working with Babies and Children
This autumn and winter, we’re offering a trio of rich and timely online courses designed to deepen your understanding of the human system and refine your therapeutic presence. Each course stands alone, yet together they offer a layered exploration of early imprints, complex health questions, and neurodiversity — themes increasingly present in therapeutic practice today.
Let't Talk Vaccines- A Critical Exploration for Practitioners: April 20, 27, May 4, 11, '26 (1.5 hours)
Working with Neurodiversity: June 1, 8, 15 and 22 (1.5 hours each day)
The Imprints of Conception, Pregnancy & Birth: Sept 22, 29 & Oct 6, 13 (1.5 hours each day)
Held in the evening and grounded in practical, somatic wisdom, these courses are open to practitioners across disciplines who wish to engage with depth, curiosity, and discernment.
Identifying and Working with Birth (and other) Imprints
This course invites practitioners working with babies and children to delve into a deeper awareness of the emotional, mechanical, and chemical imprints that can arise during the primal period - from conception through birth and into early infancy. We will explore how interventions and experiences within this period can leave subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) yet profound traces in the body and nervous system.
Through guided practice and reflection, you'll learn to recognise these early imprints within young systems, hold space for their expression, ask the right questions, understand some universal traits within baby body language, and the art of mirroring. Building your tools to support the integration, so that these patterns can become realised, released and not carried into adulthood.
This work supports a felt sense of the early terrain - not through analysis or story, but by cultivating presence and listening at the level where these patterns first took root. A valuable course for practitioners working somatically, therapeutically, or in any healing capacity.

Dates/Times: 6:00-7:30pm (GMT) on four consecutive Mondays - Sept 22, 29 & Oct 6, 13, 2026

Let’s Talk Childhood VACCINES!
A Critical Exploration for Practitioners
In this thought-provoking course, we take a deep dive into the history, science, and societal narrative surrounding vaccinations — with a particular focus on the childhood vaccine schedule to best support practitioners specifically working with babies and children.
Together, we will explore how vaccines are developed, what they contain, how they are designed to work, and the broader implications for health. While mainstream discourse often offers only one side of the story, this course opens space to investigate the less-heard perspectives — critically, respectfully, and with curiosity.
By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to engage in informed dialogue — whether with clients, peers, or within your community. Alongside this, we’ll look more deeply at what it truly means to be healthy, and how practitioners can best support the natural health and resilience of parents, children, and families.
This course is designed for practitioners who wish to expand their understanding, ask meaningful questions, and hold informed space for others in an increasingly complex landscape.

Dates/Times: 6pm-7:30pm (GMT) on four consecutive Mondays: April 20, 27, May 4, 11, 2026

Working with Neurodiversity
This practitioner-focused course offers a comprehensive and sensitive exploration of working with those on the autistic spectrum (primarily focussing on children). With an emphasis on presence, observation, and somatic awareness, we will explore how to identify what is happening in a child’s system and how to hold space for their unique neurodevelopmental experience.
We’ll delve into the physiological and neurological aspects of autism, including the roles of the gut-brain connection, neurotransmitters, cranial tension, the vagus nerve, and the wider nervous system. We’ll also explore emerging conversations around stem cells and their potential role in treatment, and how we can bring this into the field.
In addition to clinical insights, this course will guide practitioners in how to work collaboratively with parents and caregivers — offering practical tools for sessions, strategies for managing expectations, and ways to support the broader family system with care and clarity.
This is a space for deepening your understanding, refining your approach, and meeting neurodivergent children with attunement, curiosity, and respect.
