I did not initially pursue Craniosacral Fascial Therapy with the intention of opening a practice. I began as a mother determined to better understand and support her children.
A difficult pregnancy, followed by circumstances that placed extraordinary stress on our family, sharpened my interest in how the body responds to challenge—and how we can cultivate a sense of safety and stability for children even when life is unpredictable. Motherhood transformed my curiosity about health into a sustained commitment to asking better questions, understanding contributing factors and seeking thoughtful solutions rather than relying solely on temporary fixes.
When I first encountered CFT, its gentle, whole-body approach resonated immediately. My children had experienced tethered oral tissue (TOT) concerns, and I pursued training in CFT and TOTs-related assessment and support initially for my own family. As I applied what I was learning, I became increasingly interested in the relationship between physical tension, movement, comfort and the body's ability to adapt.
Several personal experiences strengthened that commitment. I observed changes in my son's head shape over time while we were addressing his brachycephaly and related concerns. Following a stroke, my uncle made meaningful gains in swallowing and mobility during a period when he was also receiving CFT, eventually returning to his seasonal role as a professional Santa. And during a visit with a family friend, I witnessed an immediate improvement in his ability to rest his head comfortably on the floor after a brief session.
What began as a mother's search for answers became a commitment to making this gentle form of care more accessible. Through Fascia Foundation, I bring together training, curiosity and respect for the body's complexity to offer thoughtful support to individuals and families.
