What is CFT?
What is Craniosacral Fascial Therapy?
Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is a gentle, hands-on approach centered on the relationship between the body's connective tissues, movement and comfort. Fascia forms a continuous network around and between muscles, organs and other structures, helping tissues move in relation to one another.

Moments that shaped this work
After my son developed brachycephaly, I began exploring the relationship between oral function, tension and head shape. As we supported him over time, I observed changes that deepened my commitment to understanding the body as an interconnected whole.
After a stroke at nearly 89, my uncle experienced improvements in swallowing and mobility during a period that included CFT sessions. He later returned to his seasonal work as a professional Santa—an experience that profoundly influenced my decision to share this work.
A close friend had so much shoulder and neck tension that he could not comfortably rest his head on the floor while lying down. Following approximately 30 minutes of gentle bodywork, he could—a small moment with a lasting impact on me.
