fascia & freedom
✧ only CFT provider in the Portland area ✧
Craniosacral fascial therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, bodywork & root cause healing.
a cornerstone in collaborative care
CFT is a supportive modality that enhances the productivity & efficiency of your pre-existing work. Such as:
AIRWAY CERTIFIED DENTISTRY - PHYSICAL THERAPY - OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY -
CHIROPRACTIC - HYPERBARIC - ACUPUNCTURE
everything changes when we get the brain breathing.
Getting the brain to gently oscillate between expansion and contraction is one of the main focuses of CFT.
⤷ We do this by unwinding the tension in the fascia that is creating the constriction.
This soft movement moves the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the body which is essential for your health + detoxification.
have you ever wondered why the adjustment from a chiropractor feels great but only for a day?
The answer? Fascia.
You can think of it as a beautiful and intricate web that surrounds your entire body, not only holding everything in place but also giving it structure.
Our bodies are incredibly resilient and have the ability to adapt. When we have an unhealed or unresolved pattern in the body, the fascia will tighten, yet the body will learn how to move and live within its new limits.
& fascia has memoryWithout correct intervention, fascia will habitually pull the dysfunction back into place
— even after being adjusted since the underlying pattern (fascia strain) isn’t be released. Just like how you have to keep going back to get massages? Without addressing the fascia dysfunction, the musculoskeletal system can’t stay in its rightful place.
My services
Craniosacral Fascial Therapy
Trained in the most forward thinking and innovative bodywork: CFT - The Gillespie Approach. The system is built on the foundation that the Fascial Network and the Craniosacral Network are not separate and when worked on simultaneously - the body can release strain and correct itself quickly and efficiently.
Think: Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) + Myofascial Release Therapy combined
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Trained under the most brilliant mentors and doctors for the last 10 years, Dr. Laura Stuve and Dr. Janet Galipo
Body Consciousness
The body remembers and has a story to tell.
Root Cause Healing
My practice is built on a few key foundations. One being: work smarter not harder.
everything begins & ends with fascia
the fascia:
soft connective tissue that surrounds every organ, muscle, nerve, gland and the oral structures.
Did you know?
The tip of your tongue is connected to your big toe through fascia lines
The body is intricately connected and any tension or tightening of the fascia creates a ripple effect throughout the entire system. Different strains can manifest in many different areas creating pain and limited flow of circulation - including blood, CSF and lymph. Restriction slows down the healing process of the body and creates patterned patholoigcal living. Once we open the lines by releasing the fascia, the body has the support to recorrect itself and heal.
