Cathy Pliscof Holway, PT
Cathy Pliscof Holway is an internationally recognized physical therapist, educator and author in the healthcare field of craniosacral and integrative manual therapies. She has taught and lectured throughout the United States to beginners as well as advanced students. 
She received her BS and Certificate in Physical Therapy from Russell Sage College/Albany Medical College School of Physical Therapy, Troy, NY, in 1979. She received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Boston University in 2008. She began her craniosacral studies in 1984 and completed through the Advanced II levels of both (Upledger) CranioSacral Therapy and (Barral) Visceral Manipulation curriculums.
As Program Administrator for the Upledger Institute Intensive Programs, Mrs. Holway directed a multi-disciplinary team of therapists, coordinating daily treatments for patients receiving intensive CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release, acupuncture, massage, counseling and other adjunctive services. Her work with medically complex patients led to her development of manual techniques for the mouth and throat, which grew into her own form of craniosacral work, Sacred Spaces Bodywork, in 1998.
In 1999 she began teaching the Advanced Mouthwork (now Essential Mouthwork) class and founded Sacred Spaces Seminars. Since then the curriculum has grown to 10 different Sacred Spaces classes, each synthesizing outstanding medical education with the art and spirit of healing. All Sacred Spaces classes are based on the principles of "Profound Neutral," a key element in respecting the mysteries of the healing process.
Cathy continues to flow with the evolution of the seminars, integrating clinical work with research, development and instruction in Sacred Spaces Bodywork.

in engineering and information systems provides an excellent foundation for presenting the scientific principles of craniosacral therapy.

Robert is the Seminar Coordinator for Sacred Spaces Seminars, teaches the Flow of Health class and co-teaches the NeuroSensory Flow and Field Trip classes. Exploring the healing potential of the body through Sacred Spaces Bodywork is the realization of his life-long dream. He looks forward to sharing the potential of this work with fellow therapists.
