Gentle, hands-on therapy that unwinds fascial tension to restore your body's natural movement — providing whole-body wellness for infants, children, and adults.
Understanding the System
Fascia is the thin connective tissue that holds everything in your body together — and its health affects far more than most people realize.
The Fascial Web
Fascia covers every structure in the body — forming one continuous, interconnected web from head to toe.
Fascia is a continuous layer of connective tissue that wraps around every structure in your body — muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and even the brain and spinal cord. Imagine a full-body web that connects every part of you, from your scalp to your feet, keeping everything working as one.
When the fascial system is healthy and unrestricted, cerebrospinal fluid moves freely throughout the brain, spinal cord, and body — supporting healthy cell function and clearing metabolic waste. When fascia tightens or becomes restricted — from birth, trauma, stress, or injury — that flow is disrupted, which can contribute to a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms.
✦ When fascia is free, your whole body can thriveCFT addresses fascial strain patterns that accumulate throughout life — from the moment of birth onward. Explore how it may benefit you or your loved one.
Newborns & Infants
Birth — even in the most straightforward cases — places significant strain on an infant's delicate craniosacral fascial system. Compression in the skull, neck, and body can create tension patterns that affect feeding, digestion, sleep, and overall comfort. CFT gently unwinds these strain patterns, giving your baby the free-moving start they deserve.
Toddlers & School-Age Children
As children grow, accumulated fascial tension can affect their development, behavior, and ability to thrive. From developmental milestones to focus and learning, the fascial system plays a crucial role. CFT provides gentle, child-friendly sessions that support healthy nervous system development and whole-body function.
Adults of All Ages
Life leaves an imprint on our fascia — through injury, stress, surgery, emotional trauma, and the demands of daily living. CFT works with the body's natural intelligence to unwind layers of accumulated tension, bringing relief from chronic pain, improved nervous system regulation, and a profound sense of restoration.
Women's Health
The female body experiences unique fascial strain patterns through pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, hormonal changes, and more. CFT offers a profoundly gentle approach to supporting women's health — physically, emotionally, and hormonally — at every stage of life.
What Clients Say
Real experiences from families and individuals who have found relief and renewed wellbeing through CFT.
Jacquelynn has been such a godsend to our family. We first saw her to prepare my daughter for a tongue-tie release. At the time, I wasn't entirely sure what CFT was, but I had heard it could help. With Jacquelynn's support, my daughter's procedure went smoothly, and her depth of knowledge was such a comfort to me.
We returned when my son's nervous system became dysregulated and he developed a tic. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Jacquelynn worked her magic again. My son felt relief immediately after his first session, and with continued visits, his tics gradually died down.
Now, anytime someone in my family needs support to regulate or heal, Jacquelynn is who I call. I went from not fully understanding CFT to considering it essential to my family's well-being. Thank you, Jacquelynn, for all you do.
I've struggled with being stuck in "fight or flight" and general nervous system issues, so finding CFT — and especially Jacquelynn — has been such a blessing. She's amazing at what she does, and you can really feel how much she cares and loves this work.
She also has so much knowledge about overall health and how the body works, which makes the experience even more valuable. After my first session, I felt noticeably more relaxed and calm right away.
It's been really great learning more about the benefits of CFT, and I'm excited to keep going with my sessions with Jacquelynn!
I originally saw Jacquelynn to see if CFT could help relieve some intense jaw pain I was having during pregnancy, and she ended up curing my pulsatile tinnitus I had suffered from for the last decade! The entire experience was so relaxing and I felt amazing afterwards.
She's also very knowledgeable and truly wants to help others feel their best. I highly recommend Jacquelynn and will definitely be back!
Jacquelynn has been incredible for my whole family. During pregnancy, she relieved my hip pain, tightness, and headaches. My kids call her sessions a "massage," and it's helped them become more emotionally regulated while preparing for oral expanders. She's so great with my shy, nervous kids.
When my baby was just two weeks old and struggling with latching and gas, one session made a noticeable difference. His latch improved and he slept for a few hours afterwards.
Jacquelynn's knowledge goes beyond CFT. She's a wealth of information about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fascia-related issues for all ages. I highly recommend CFT as a non-invasive therapy for a multitude of symptoms.
We saw Jacquelynn first when my daughter was just a few days old. My baby was having a bit of trouble latching. She went above and beyond for her! Jacquelynn was very thorough in her intake process, taking care to understand my daughter's birth story and our family history. She was patient and sweet with how long everything takes with a new baby, and we never felt rushed or quizzed. My son now comes along to appointments and she is kind and thoughtful to accommodate him too while working on his sister. My daughter shows immediate improvement after our appointments and sometimes sleeps through them too! I would definitely recommend Jacquelynn for CFT.
Jacquelynn has taken care of my family for over 2 years now, through newborn oral tie releases, struggling nervous systems, and a back injury. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and gifted in her work. We can't go without her!
I can't recommend Jacquelynn enough for CFT. I was given her contact info right after we had our baby who was showing signs of tightness and was very fussy. Our first session was when our baby was 2 weeks old and she was so delicate, kind and welcoming.
As a first time mom I was tired, overwhelmed and worried about my little girl — and Jacquelynn truly became a support system to me. After a few sessions, we really started to notice a difference in our daughter's ability to move her neck better and we could feel a looseness overall in her body. There were times where we could literally see the tension release while she was being worked on.
We continued to go consistently for a few months and I would do it over again! My husband and I actually did a full body session too and wow the release we both felt was amazing! 5 stars!
