(Ep. 34) The Missing Piece to Your Health : CFT with Holly & Kim

On episode 34 of 'The Beats', Kelly Kennedy graciously welcomes Kim Sherlock & Holly Steflik. These lovely women are practitioners and instructors of Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT). Since many of us have never heard of CFT…Kelly knew it was essential to have Holly & Kim on to explain what CFT is and why CFT is likely to be the missing piece in your health journey. Although having their own unique reasons for pursuing CFT, they have both been trained by Dr. Barry Gillespie. Thus partake in the Gillespie Approach which is the union between Craniosacral Therapy and Myofasical release. They are also both licensed Massage Therapist and have trained in Myofunctional Therapy as well as other holistic modalities. They also travel the world teaching the CFT foundation training and the CFT infant training. Holly & Kim want the world to understand that Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) facilitates the release of accumulated strain to improve physical mobility and cognitive function. Unhindered movement of the brain, spinal cord, and fascial web are necessary for the well being of all newborns, children, and adults. It is a cutting edge approach to addressing many health conditions such as migraines, concussion symptoms, asthma, TMJ, back and neck issues, ADHD, anxiety, earaches, tongue tie, reflux, torticollis, inability to latch, sleep issues and constipation. But of course you will learn all of that and more in this episode..
