Julian Cowan Hill developed tinnitus at 16 and struggled with it until he was 34, when it became extremely disruptive. He discovered craniosacral therapy through a family friend, which remarkably made his tinnitus quieter after just one session. This therapy caused a change in his tinnitus, making it quieter.  Inspired, Julian trained as a craniosacral therapist, and six months later, his tinnitus subsided for the first time in 33 years. He then started his practice in this field and experienced a profound awakening, tuning into subtle energetic movements within and around the body.
