More progress with my sweet 4-year-old! After just one session, his PT noticed gains. This week his hips began unwinding — which he found pretty funny! When the body releases stored tension, it can look like gentle movement or wiggling as everything finds better balance. I can’t wait to hear how he does next!

The Body’s Innate Wisdom Never Ceases to Amaze Me

A client who had been receiving annual mammograms since her early 20s shared that, in the last five years, she’d been getting them every 3–6 months due to ongoing areas of concern in her left breast. Her scans were often described as “problematic,” requiring additional ultrasounds — and she even had a metal marker placed in one breast for close monitoring.

She came to see me in the summer of 2024. During a two-week period, she received two Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) sessions. After her second session, she went in for her next mammogram — and the radiologist noted that those concerning areas were smaller.

Between December 2024 and May 2025, we continued with extensive CFT sessions in preparation for another upcoming surgery — focusing on releasing long-held fascial restrictions, improving lymphatic flow, and supporting her body’s natural balance before the procedure.

Fast forward to October 2025…
✨ The previously marked areas of concern are no longer present.
✨ She was told she could now have yearly mammograms for the first time in years.
✨ Her follow-up letter even stated that she no longer has dense breast tissue.

It’s my personal theory that what was once labeled “dense breast tissue” may have actually been fascial restrictions related to her past breast reduction surgery. Through CFT, her body had the opportunity to unwind, release, and restore natural movement, structure, and flow.

Our fascia tells the story of our life — surgeries, injuries, stress, and emotions — and when it’s gently supported, the body remembers how to heal itself. 💗

I have the sweetest 4 yr old client who has an ASD diagnosis and toe walks regularly. Corrective surgery has been brought up by his medical team, but the family is concerned for sweet F's sensory challenges and the fact that he would need long casts post op. Grandma is a regular client of mine and asked if CFT might help this little guy so we are giving it a try!!

I've been working with this sweet peanut since he was 6lbs and about 3 weeks old!! It was momma's turn to experience CFT, but babe wanted in on the action. Mom's observation was that it felt like areas all over her body were able to take deep breaths as fascia unbunched and released.

At Focus on Fascia we don't get bothered by nursing littles or littles who want to play ❤️ How could you be upset with a face like this???

I'm back to a couple of weeks wait for appointments so I am happy to take new clients again. Thanks all for your patience!

****CFT CLIENTS ONLY . I need to push pause on taking new clients for a few weeks. With an impending vacation for my 25th anniversary from Oct 6-13, I'm booking 4 weeks out and I do not feel I'm in a manageable work space currently. After vacation, I will reassess at around the 3rd week of October. Thank you for your patience and incredibly overwhelming support!***

Since the little one had his oral ties released just last week, this session was a post-procedure one. He was tired, and with his mother having returned to work, the session in my massage room wasn't progressing as smoothly as hoped. While I can usually soothe him when he cries, he was quite upset this time. I took off my shoes, and we went to the salt room, hoping for a welcome distraction. Fortunately, it worked. I placed his feet on the cool salt, we admired the pretty wall, and eventually, he settled down!

What truly impressed me about this CFT session was the remarkable amount of cranial fascia movement he exhibited compared to the previous weeks. It was an extraordinary transformation following the release of those tight oral restrictions!

A new military veteran client has been receiving bi-monthly massage and acupuncture treatments through the VA system, which provided maintenance support. However, the integration of CFT resulted in a significant reduction in reported painful days. Before CFT, the client experienced low pain levels for 2-3 days per week. Following the second CFT appointment, the client reported only 2-3 days of pain, with a noticeable decrease in pain intensity.

These stories make my day!!
