The Importance
of Fascia

Fascia is like a supportive net in our bodies, wrapping around muscles, organs, and more to protect them from harm. It forms a complex system known as the craniosacral fascial system, originating near the brain and spine and extending throughout the body.

 

For optimal health, this system must remain free of restrictions to allow cerebrospinal fluid to flow smoothly.

When fascia becomes tight or restricted, it can impede this fluid flow, contributing to various physical and emotional health issues.

Throughout life, we face numerous traumas such as birth complications, accidents, and emotional stress that can strain the craniosacral fascial system. These traumas create tension and imbalances that can manifest as chronic pain, headaches, and other health problems.

 

Intuitive Craniosacral Fascial Therapy helps to address these issues by gently releasing the built-up tension within the fascia. This therapy promotes better movement, enhances brain function, and supports overall well-being. By targeting the root causes of discomfort, CFT can provide relief and improve quality of life.

 

If you're searching for "craniosacral fascial therapy near me" or "cranial fascial release near me," our services are available across several states including Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

"When the fascial system is relaxed, cerebrospinal fluid can flow better properly, supporting overall health."

Meet John

John, a trained Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) practitioner in Midcoast Maine, transitioned from over a decade in critical care nursing to align with his passion and values. CFT has profoundly changed his life, allowing him to share intuitive healing with others.
 

A seasoned critical care nurse with over 12 years of experience in diverse New England healthcare environments, he was called to a holistic lifestyle in 2012 following numerous disappointments with conventional western medicine.

Despite facing challenges within the nursing field, he embraced self-improvement by incorporating holistic therapies into his daily routine. His journey intensified after the birth of his first son, prompting a relocation to Maine where he now resides on a homestead with his family.

In 2021, while seeking treatment for his youngest son, John discovered Gillespie Approach Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, created by Dr. Barry Gillespie, and recognized a significant need for practitioners in Maine. This realization spurred him to pursue starting Midcoast Fascial Therapy, marking a pivotal shift away from critical care medicine.
 
Through CFT, sometimes referred to as cranial fascial therapy, John has unearthed his genuine passion for facilitating holistic healing, tapping into the body's innate ability to heal through intuitive fascial release and the craniosacral system.
