Craniosacral Fascial Therapy
Gentle Healing, Profound Results
Gentle enough for babies, powerful healing for adults.
Imagine experiencing transformative improvements in your well-being – without invasive procedures. Sometimes, the most profound changes come from the most subtle movements. That’s the beauty of Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT), a gentle yet highly effective treatment that’s particularly ideal for infants and children.
Your brain and spinal cord send cerebrospinal fluid through the fascial web, a connective tissue network that links every cell and organ in your body. Physical or emotional trauma can disrupt this fluid’s natural flow, causing the system to tighten. This tension can create immense pressure on nerves, muscles, organs, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and bones, leading to a wide range of health challenges.
At the Well of Life Center, our therapists use the Gillespie Approach to CFT, a method pioneered by Dr. Barry Gillespie. This approach integrates the cranial osteopathic principles of Dr. William Sutherland, the myofascial release techniques of John Barnes, P.T., and Dr. Gillespie’s own expertise as a periodontist.
The Gillespie Approach employs gentle, hands-on techniques to release fascial restrictions and restore balance. Free from the need for medications, supplements, or surgery, CFT facilitates natural healing through precision and care. While it’s highly effective for adults, its gentle nature makes it especially suitable for infants and children, promoting wellness from the earliest stages of life.
A fully functioning brain, spinal cord, and fascial web are essential for your health and well-being at any age. Discover how Craniosacral Fascial Therapy can support your journey to optimal health!

“I see a world where every newborn is free from a lifetime of suffering due to birth trauma.”

The Gillespie Approach
Dr. Barry Gillespie believes that the effects of fetal trauma and birth trauma can be mitigated at the beginning of life to create optimal brain function, prevent many diseases and avert a lifetime of suffering. In 1980, while working with children who had TMJ and headaches, Dr. Barry Gillespie discovered that craniosacral fascial restriction in the respiratory system caused pediatric asthma.
In his asthmatic clinical research, which spanned 20 years through the 1980s and 1990s, he also discovered that many other childhood diseases such as chronic earaches, headaches, learning disorders, ADHD, rhinitis, colic, reflux, scoliosis and strabismus stemmed from dysfunction of the craniosacral fascial system.
Because of the potential global magnitude of the discoveries he made, Dr. Barry Gillespie left his periodontal practice in 1997 after 22 years to devote himself full time to this work. He published Healing Your Child in 1999 to educate lay parents about the natural care concepts and, in 2000, published Brain Therapy for Children and Adults as a teaching manual for his students.
