Gillespie Approach Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

have you ever wondered why the adjustment feels great but only for a day?

The answer? Fascia.

& fascia has memory

It tightens around everything your body hasn’t let go of. The injury. The hard birth. The grief you never had time to feel.

Work on only one side of the coin? It pulls right back.

That’s why I work with both
and you choose the layer.

the body keeps the score. the fascia is where it writes it down.

Fun
Fact!

the tip of your tongue is connected to your big toe through fascia lines.

it’s all connected

what makes CFT different

two therapies, one session.

CFT is the marriage of Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release. Most people seek out one or the other but the magic really happens when you work with them in tandem.

Craniosacral Therapy

focuses on cerebrospinal fluid + flow, the spinal column and the brain

Myofascial Release

focuses solely on the fascial web

CFT

the whole system rather than a part

The fascial web is deeply interwoven with the craniosacral system. When it tightens, so does the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Addressing one isn’t enough.

Are you running in circles and everything feels just.. too much?

You aren’t alone. Anxiety is the most common thing people see me for in my private practice & the most popular somatic release session in Somatic Sanctuary for good reason!

Emotions are stored in the body until we process and release them. This is my speciality.

what I help with

When the fascia lets go, the body corrects itself. When the emotion underneath lets go, it stays that way.

you can choose the layers: just the fascia, just the somatic piece, or both

For adults

  • Stored emotion + trauma

    anxiety, overwhelm, grief, depression, trauma healing. If you can’t talk it out, it’s in your body.

  • Head + brain

    migraines, headaches, concussion, TBI. Migraines are what brought me to this work.

  • Mouth + airway

    TMJ, airway, sleep issues, snoring + sleep apnea

  • Body

    neck, hip, back + nerve pain, whiplash, scars, digestion, limited range of motion

  • Recovery

    post-surgery, injury rehab, ongoing wellness

For infants

  • Feeding

    tongue tie, lip tie, latch + sucking

  • Digestion

    reflux, colic, constipation

  • Body

    torticollis, head asymmetry, birth trauma, tightness

  • Wellness

    sleep, fussiness, developmental support

  • CFT for infants

CFT for infants

gentle enough to heal

Healing doesn’t have to be hard nor forceful. CFT is about precision rather than power: finding the exact spot of fascial tension and inviting the body to unravel, like a gentle knot coming loose.

Infants show me this in every session. They’re so in tune with their bodies and they release and move accordingly. They don’t have the layers and decades that adults do living in their bodies yet.

Meet your provider

hi, I’m Mason.

At 11, migraines took my vision. The neurologist only offered meds. My grandmother took me to a BodyTalk practitioner and within a few sessions, they were gone.

I knew healing was possible because I lived it. I started certifying at 18 and never looked back.

10+ years in, I kept seeing the same thing. Release the emotion and the fascia softens. Release the fascia and the emotion comes up. So I stopped separating them.

You are meant to feel good. Your body is meant to feel free.
