When clients need some TLC, you work on the holiday!

This quote came from a long-time friend but a new CFT client. This client had an extremely bad leg break requiring surgery and external fixation a few years ago, and another surgery was not related to the accident. I believe I could have spent a full hour doing detail work on that leg; it was very "talkative," meaning the fascia was shifting and moving all over. The back and neck began to release after the leg fascia was "unwound." I'm so excited to hear how the next few days go and how the leg feels in hopes that daily pain dissipates!

This was another new client who booked a 30-minute session because they were curious about CFT. I talked a good talk when they came with a group to the salt room ❤️

I love encountering healthy skepticism 😄 CFT is so very gentle but deeply impactful!

💜Clients with emotional trauma will frequently have releases that I will personally feel in a wave of sadness, apprehension, anger, or anxiety. Most often, they don't feel these emotions themselves. Today, a new client had a few emotional holdings that they did experience emotions as the trauma was released. When asked if they strongly felt the emotion or if it was more a detached experience, they said that they felt the emotion, but with the release, their heart felt lighter.

📆 book with me to help your heart feel lighter!

I LOVE client feedback!

I was asked by a CFT client if this drives me crazy having salt on the floor, so I told her definitely no! To me, this means a momma got to have a CFT session and didn't have to worry about childcare for her kids, AND they had a blast playing in the salt.

We are super parent and child friendly here for all modalities! I have done CFT while little ones are nursing, I have done CFT under my table and in the salt room for on the go toddlers. I'll meet you where you are!!!

Another day in the life of Chewy at Focus on Fascia. Chewy's mom popped in with complaints of stuffy ears. We did a few minutes of of CFT, followed by a quick salt tent session. As a Brussels Griffon, Chewy is a brachycephalic breed that is known to have breathing challenges. He does snuffle a fair bit during his momma's CFT, so I'll be curious to see how he responds!

We're back with more salty fun!

Sometimes our little buddies need work also! Chewy has a trauma history in his neck and shoulders and is seeming to enjoy our few minutes of CFT when his momma comes to see me. He sits patiently on her chest or lap as we work through her aches and pains, then receives a little special treatment himself.

We have a last minute cancellation for salty yoga!

25 mins at 125⁰ had me sweating within a few mins. My body felt more relaxed, my coughing muscles didn't feel sore. A regular client mentioned wishing there was an icy finish option post sauna so I ran with it and I have iced water and washcloths for anyone interested in that. I actually loved it more than I thought I would! Thanks, Laura Allnutt !

Now to kick back in the salt room with a little essential oil therapy and wait until my truck is done with maintenance.

Here are some benefits of infrared sauna therapy

Where does your massage therapist who had to cancel appointments go when she's sick?? To work for halotherapy and infrared sauna time. The mildly productive and spasmodic cough has been a drag, but I know salt room time will ease my issues.

This was an unexpected "side effect" with an existing client. She had wonderful gains with the 4 yr long pains that brought her into my office, but she attributed CFT to her decreased cellulite appearance on her legs.

CFT never ceases to amaze me!

Wow! This past week has been all about edema! Client 1 had a 42-year history of being an RN, which means a LOT of hours on her feet. She also had a history of multiple variscosities (enlarged and swollen veins) with surgical intervention. Client 2 had a foot injury without a significant diagnosis but had quite significant symptoms in that her foot and ankle had pitting edema daily.

After session one with client 1, she stated she had significant pain reduction and less edema, so she was actually able to be more active and get into her garden without repercussion of even more edema. Client 2 had a significant unwinding of fascia at the injury site, and today (3 days post 2nd CFT session), woke with zero swelling and was ecstatic to exclaim that she had ankle bones!

A note on the author of the quote, John Barnes developed myofascial release 50+ years ago and is world reknowned for his work. I contemplated training in this modailty back in 07, but I'm thankful for waiting for the gentle CFT modality (to my body and my clients' bodies) to become known to me!

CFT, salt or sauna opening on Saturday at 4pm (or a little earlier if needed). Let me know if you need some work!

This lovely young client, Kara (story and name used with her permission), took a pretty big fall onto her hands and knees while running. She recognized that any trauma can impact the body and nervous system. She requested that her mom make a 30-minute "tune-up" appointment with me. We worked through her whole body and revisited the "attention seeking" left arm. She stood up, moved her body around, and had this declaration!

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes, becomes inflamed or irritated. This condition is often caused by overuse, wearing improper footwear, or having an abnormal foot structure. Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include sharp pain in the heel, stiffness in the bottom of the foot, and difficulty walking or standing for long periods of time. Traditional treatment options for plantar fasciitis may include rest, stretching exercises, orthotic inserts, and pain relievers. In some cases, surgical intervention is suggested.

Did you know that craniosacral fascial therapy can actually help ease that discomfort? Through CFT, the fascia in your body can be gently manipulated to release tension and reduce pain. If you're struggling with plantar fasciitis, this therapy might be the relief you've been looking for!
