Uplifting Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy Testimonial Highlights
Woman Suffering From Panic Attacks, Gagging, and Back and Neck Pain Finds Breakthroughs with the Gillespie Approach
This therapy has been life-changing for me. I firmly believe it is a foundational treatment that everyone should receive at birth to avoid these issues later in life.
—A young woman
Nine-Year-Old Boy Suffering From Daily Bedwetting and Constipation Issues Experiences Remarkable Improvements with the Gillespie Approach
After our third session with Dr. Gillespie, my son was having bowel movements every other day! By our fourth session, my son had gone every day for nine days in a row! We were so amazed, happy, and impressed!
… By our eighth session, my son held 95% of his pee until the morning, but there was still some wetness in his Goodnites. We kept going to finish releasing the strain in his right groin area. After our 16th session, it was Christmas morning again! My son had made it the entire night!
—A mother
Infant With Brain Injury Experiences Rapid Transformation With the Gillespie Approach
Our son’s face shape changed after a one-hour session. His jaw became more square, and his chin stuck out more. Also, I had never seen my son be able to stick his tongue out. He had severe oral ties that hadn’t been released yet.
When we got home that day, we were able to get him completely off his thickened milk. We had been trying for weeks and nothing worked until the Gillespie Approach.
Doctors see him now and say that he is fully healed.
God has used Gillespie Approach to make miracles happen.
—Raoul N. Chandler Santiago
“The Most Gentle and Amazing Therapy”
Levi and I have spent this weekend in tears watching our son transform right in front of us. We had the best time with some amazing people. We are so grateful for every person God put in our lives this weekend to help our son! Thank you all for working with our sweet baby. Thank you for validating us as parents. 💛
—Amber Knowles
“It Has to Run Its Own Course”
No matter how quickly you want your Gillespie Approach journey to go, it has to run its own course. You can’t hurry it up. Dr. Gillespie is probably the most efficient Gillespie Approach practitioner around but even he couldn’t magically release all the strain our daughter had, as much as I wish he could have. My newborn baby had about 32 hours of treatment, and there wasn’t any way to speed up that process.
To all of you wonderful people practicing this very important work, I salute you. The world needs this work so much and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart that this work is in the world today.
—Krystil McDowall
“After One Therapy … Seizures Stopped”
Barry’s therapy has been invaluable for our family. We took our son because he was experiencing weekly convulsive seizures. After one therapy, these seizures stopped and he hasn’t had any more in three months.
My husband and I started receiving the Gillespie Approach, too. I personally was looking for help with migraines, which I normally experience every three weeks.
Every day, I feel better. All the symptoms related to the migraines such as fogginess, blurred vision, upset stomach, tiredness, neck tension and headache have just disappeared.
—Marion Ramirez
“He Is Simply Healthier All Around”
When we eventually saw Dr. Gillespie for the first visit, House’s tics went from every three seconds to maybe one tic in twenty minutes. After the second session, maybe it was one or two a night, and by the third session, they were all but undetectable.
We are so grateful that this work helped our son. Dr. Gillespie was the first person who validated my suspicion that these conditions were all related. His craniosacral fascial web was tight, and no one noticed. We are excited to see how this continues to unfold and would love to see him no longer need human growth hormone.
—Michelle Young
“She Is a Different Baby! She Is a Happy Baby!”
Things that are worth it usually take time and effort, and our daughter is still on the path to wellness, but the change we have seen in her over just 10 appointments is monumental.
She is a different baby! She is a happy baby. Her permanent scowl is now a permanent smile. Feeding is so much easier, and she never spits up. Her startle reflex is calmed, and she is not constantly in fight-or-flight mode. We are able to put her down. If you are a parent, you know how big that is! She giggles now. It is the best sound in the world.
—A mother
“It’s Like Somebody Lifted the Clouds”
Our lives have been changed in ways that no one else has been able to do and in ways that I never thought possible.
He came running into the kitchen around the three-month mark to share with me that, “It’s like somebody lifted the clouds.” I collapsed to the floor in disbelief and elation.
Even the school’s occupational therapist observed how he had gone from a child who was “struggling in four out of five developmental areas” to “a completely typical child.”
—A parent
Gillespie Approach Helps Son Triumph Over Asthma
I can’t begin to tell you how this approach has changed our lives. Today, he is an athletic 12-year-old boy. He plays soccer, baseball, basketball, and even made it to the regional finals for track. This would have never happened without [the Gillespie Approach].
Before the treatment, he would have to come off the soccer field winded several times in a game. Today, he can run longer and faster than most of the players on his team. I was so taken with this work that I became trained and now successfully do [the Gillespie Approach] for other asthmatic children.
—A parent
Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy Testimonials: A Spotlight on Babies
“My Son Went From a Fussy Baby to a Happy Baby”
“I was exhausted and felt defeated and was willing to try anything to have a calmer, happier baby. After our first visit, we were AMAZED!!! … With each visit, we saw more and more improvement. My son went from a fussy baby to a happy baby, and we would remark to one another that what we were witnessing at each visit was magic.
If you are on the fence about making an appointment, do it. You won’t regret it.”
—Erin Nishikawa Huber
“The Results Are Tremendous”
“I am writing about my newborn baby boy. After three sessions of the Gillespie Approach with Dr. Barry Gillespie, I can confidently say the results are tremendous.
… If the trauma is left untreated, the body can go a lifetime with a list of symptoms and conditions. Drugs or surgeries may just treat the symptoms to only create more trauma. Sometimes it can be so easily resolved at the beginning of life with the simplicity of the Gillespie Approach.”
—Lauren Mitchell
“Y’all, This Baby Is a New Baby”
“We took [our baby] to Philly to see Dr. Barry Gillespie to do the Gillespie Approach to help with his torticollis. What we got was so much more. … Not only was he able to loosen the fascia in his neck, but he loosened the fascia around his digestive organs.
And y’all, this baby is a new baby. He is calm, his colic is completely gone and you can just tell he is more relaxed.
As a mother, this is by far the best decision I have made for my child thus far.
—Cassie Webster

With Gillespie Approach Treatment, “An Entirely Different Child”
This therapy has been life-changing for me. I firmly believe it is a foundational treatment that everyone should receive at birth to avoid these issues later in life.
My daughter (first-born child) was born at 42 weeks after an unmedicated, uncomplicated, but extremely precipitous and grueling labor that lasted a mere six hours. She came out with her fists clenched, and though I didn’t know what it meant at the time, I knew it signified something deeper. The first three days of breastfeeding were grueling. I pushed past the pain and it resolved, but she nursed what felt like 24/7, choked a lot on breastmilk, and spit up or projectile vomited frequently. … By the end of all of our sessions with Dr. Gillespie, she had a brain cycle of over 200 seconds and was an entirely different child.
—Tara Allen
Grandmother: “I Thank God for Dr. Gillespie, Kim, and Holly”
There was a noticeable change in [my granddaughter’s] skull, and a very small soft spot could be felt. In addition, she was having less reflux, she was sleeping better, and she had only three episodes of the hiccups when, previously, she was having multiple episodes every day since birth. … I was so impressed with the Gillespie Approach Training sessions that I’ve taken up a collection to send my massage therapist to the Foundation and Infant Trainings this fall. I will be taking the Foundation Training as well.
—A grandmother
Baby With Hydrocephalus Experiences Improvement With Gillespie Approach Treatment
It was so amazing to be able to show the parents how touching points on a sleeping baby would produce such a strong reaction. I kept going back and then took a break, and then went back and got a weaker reaction. Eventually, it was all released, and the baby no longer experienced any tension. After all the crying for the five sessions, to end with that was so beautiful.
—A Gillespie Approach therapist
“We Noticed an Immediate Change in His Disposition”
My son was born at 32 weeks. He has been diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence (cleft palate and micrognathia) and 22q11 microduplication. He failed his newborn hearing screen twice. He was in the NICU for 67 days. … This is a phenomenal modality. If you have an infant child, and you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try!
—A mother
“Wonderful Experience” Working on a Baby
I had a wonderful experience yesterday while working on a baby. It was so beautiful! He began to unwind very slowly for a few minutes, but when I had the mother place one hand under his sacrum and one hand over his umbilicus (I was supporting his head and shoulders), his tiny body began unwinding completely.
We lifted him up and supported him while he twisted and turned. It appeared as though he was re-experiencing the entire birthing process. He unwound in a way that was like unwinding from the mother’s contractions, getting into position, and going through the birth canal all over again.
The neat thing to me was how his body didn’t really respond much until the mother placed her hands in that position. After we were done, she said: “That was the strangest feeling. I wasn’t doing anything. Just following where his body was going.” I love it when mothers get a chance to feel the magic, too.
—Lottie Bronson
“This Approach Changed Our Lives and Our Baby”
My son was born at 32 weeks. He has been diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence (cleft palate and micrognathia) and 22q11 microduplication. He failed his newborn hearing screen twice. He was in the NICU for 67 days. … This is a phenomenal modality. If you have an infant child, and you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try!
This approach changed our lives and our baby. He was tight, constipated, fussy and couldn’t be on a hard surface (anywhere not in arms) for more than five minutes. I very much ascribe to attachment parenting, but it was too much. He was constantly nursing with poor latching and just not contented.
At five months, we finally traveled to another state to stay with family for a few months and get care. After the first session, I put him on the floor, and he played there for 20 minutes. A few days later, he was crawling. His whole body went from rigid to soft and relaxed after one session. Completely changed his life and ours.
—Katrina Pearson
A Mother Tells Her Family’s Story
My son was born at 32 weeks. He has been diagnosed with Pierre Robin Sequence (cleft palate and micrognathia) and 22q11 microduplication. He failed his newborn hearing screen twice. He was in the NICU for 67 days. … This is a phenomenal modality. If you have an infant child, and you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try!
Since we were from Oklahoma, Dr. Gillespie recommended that we see Gillespie Approach practitioners, Jake and Jordan Chambers, in Kansas City, MO. On our first visit, our girls had zero-second brain cycles and displayed lots of arching. We continued making trips to Kansas City and saw improvements with everything we were dealing with. Our girls now have brain cycles in the upper 200s.
Over the past year, we have had two follow-up MRIs, which showed that there was no hydrocephalus present. Our most recent MRI showed that one of our twin’s chiari 1 malformation is gone. We are hopeful that a future MRI will show that our other twin’s chiari is gone also. We now have two happy and healthy girls and are so blessed to be where we are today. God answered our prayers.

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy Experience With Tongue Tie
I’m in tears writing this. It has been a very difficult two months with this little one, but I’m so thankful that we’ve continued to pursue answers for his comfort.
Your baby doesn’t have to be colicky. Your breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt. Your milk supply can thrive. Your baby is capable of sleeping more than two hours at a time. Your baby doesn’t have to cry every time you set them down. You and your baby can thrive.
There are answers out there.
—A mother
Baby Experiencing Improvement
Baby had a lot of strain in the jaw, diaphragm, ribs, shoulders and feet. After two treatment sessions, mum reported a 90% improvement in the reflux symptoms. Now baby is only vomiting a very small amount after a comfort feed from both breasts, once every two to three days. All trapped-wind issues have resolved.
We did a third session as teeth have started to erupt. At the beginning of the session, baby was very grouchy and not very keen on my presence! But by the end, [the baby] was super-relaxed, with lots of smiles and cuddles for me.
—Katrina Pearson
“Within Minutes, the Lungs Cleared”
I administered CFT to the baby while lying on the mother’s chest and, within minutes, the lungs cleared.
Together with life-saving colostrum, which has a high oxygen content, the baby recovered nicely and had no further issues with breathing. CFT is still for me the most noninvasive technique post-birth and the most cost-effective.
—Barbara Chambers
Baby Experiences Improvement in Breastfeeding and Toe Walking
Every. Single. Feeding. Was painful. No answers from “pros.”
As a last-ditch effort, we drove 3½ hours one way to see a Gillespie Approach practitioner, Michale Chatham. After 40 minutes of Gillespie Approach, he stopped walking on his toes. That week, he said words we’d never heard him say plus he self-regulated his emotions more.
The Gillespie Approach often resolves oral restriction mimicking tongue tie or helps prehabilitate or rehabilitate alongside surgical revision when it’s truly necessary.
—Raoul and Chandler Santiago
Baby Experiences Rapid Health Turnaround
It’s really amazing what a “little strain” can do! I recently saw a 2-week-old baby boy who had still not gained any weight, hadn’t pooped without a suppository, and mom felt wasn’t getting a great latch.
… At his first visit, he released mostly some left TMJ down his left neck. He immediately latched well, ate and fell asleep. At his weight check the next day, he had gained an ounce.
… But after the second appointment, he pooped on his own, continued to nurse well and, at his next weight check, had gained 6 ounces.
—Jenni Van Dalen Sutherland
Daughter’s Torticollis Resolved
Dr. Barry resolved our daughter’s torticollis in just a few sessions. We’re forever grateful. He is just amazing!
—Myriam Mimo Jaman
“She Is So Much Happier”
I am so amazed! We are feeling so happy, so thankful, so blessed! Our little Reya was lucky enough to receive five Gillespie Approach sessions this weekend. What a difference it has made in her! She is generally so much happier, she’s sleeping better, her body is not as stiff, she’s feeding less often and I think more efficiently, she’s having more dirty diapers, she has been more alert, she lifts her head up a little more than before, and for the first time she has now been able to grasp toys and get them to her mouth!
We tried the first day of class, and she wouldn’t, and I told the therapists that she doesn’t do that yet … . On our way home, she did so multiple times! Even bringing her own hands to her mouth and exploring—she never did this before! I’m sure there are so many more changes happening in her little body, but these are what we notice right now. What a blessing to have been able to attend this weekend of therapy! Thank you to all who were there and all who helped our little girl! I can’t wait to learn how to do this myself, but meanwhile, I appreciate all of you who have taken the time and energy to learn it!

“Dr. Gillespie Began to Help His Body Correct Itself”
My son was born in May 2019. Throughout my pregnancy, the ultrasounds showed his head down quite early with his twin brother on top of him for months. At five months of age, our pediatrician referred him to physical therapy for torticollis and a head tilt. His low muscle tone resulted in falling behind in his gross motor skills.
Dr. Gillespie made me feel heard and answered all of my questions at the first appointment. He described my son’s structural issue and began to help his body correct itself as opposed to just managing his condition.

Child Experiences Benefits in Digestive System and Range of Movements
There was improvement to the digestive system symptoms almost immediately. She hiccups very infrequently, and bowel movements are usually daily. She has a much improved range of movements. She now prefers to sleep on her left side, which was the least-favoured side.

Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy Testimonials: Children in Focus
Gillespie Approach Helps Son Suffering From Hypertropia
My son was a happy and healthy baby. He started wearing glasses to correct his nearsightedness at the age of four. After getting an updated pair of glasses at age six, his piano teacher noticed that he was having a challenging time keeping track of his place in the music and seeing the notes clearly. I was quite confused as to how he could be having these issues with a new pair of glasses. …
Having success with my older son’s issues, Dr. Gillespie agreed to work with my younger son and his hypertropia. … Upon completing his regular examination, the optometrist gave us the wonderful news that a prism will not be needed in his new lens since the condition is no longer present. I cried happy tears of joy.
—A mother
Child Making Gurgling Sound Gains Significant Breathing Improvement
From birth my son had a gurgling sound in his breathing. After many tests, the doctors said it was allergies and reflux. We have spent ten years with an allergist as our guide doing all the standard allergy medications, steroids, inhalers, and shots.
At ten years of age, we saw Dr. Gillespie for a series of appointments as a compliment to the OMT therapy we were trying. My son progressively got looser and began breathing correctly from his belly.
Currently, he is taking larger breaths and running for longer periods of time without tiring. His face does not get blotchy red anymore when he’s doing extremely active things.

Son Improves Athletically and Remarks on Mental Ability: “I Can Think So Clearly Now”
He became a faster runner and more agile in sports. He was overjoyed one day playing volleyball when he said, “Mom, I can see the ball the whole time.” He had always been getting hit in the head because he was unable to track the ball.
Eventually, he realized the benefits when he said, “I can think so clearly now.”

Parent on Child With Brain Trauma: “The Treatment’s Impact Was Immediate and Pronounced”
One of their treatments was CFT. Dr. Barry Gillespie assessed my son’s cranial motion at zero seconds. During cranial surgery, the rhythm of his brain was severely restricted. Dr. Gillespie spent the first session helping to restore better cranial motion. … The treatment’s impact was immediate and pronounced. I was so impressed that I took Dr. Gillespie’s CFT training to treat my three other children.

Yesterday, during a routine checkup, her pediatrician in Arizona exclaimed: “I cannot believe that this is the same child I examined a few years ago.

Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy Testimonials: Adults and Whole Families at Center Stage
“Treatment at Birth … Is So Crucial”
My message is that treatment at birth or within a week of birth is so crucial because, if you wait too long, the fascia is locked in and the body has compensated. That is when the symptoms start to present themselves: TMJ, tongue tie, torticollis, latching issues, colic, chronic ear infections, migraines, ADD and ADHD, speech delay—just to name a few.

Children with Learning Disorders Make Improvement
Before the Gillespie Approach, I would spend hours with him going over his homework and helping him with his reading. Those days are over! It was like a light bulb went off in his brain!
I believe that the Gillespie Approach was a critical piece of her wellness puzzle. Not only has this treatment tremendously helped her and our family, but it has given us hope to encourage her to reach her fullest potential.

“The Gillespie Approach Has Changed Both Our Lives”
I would say to you to book a session as soon as you notice any concerns or symptoms. I didn’t know anything about Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy before, but I wish I had known earlier as it worked wonders for both of us.

Training Graduate Aiding Sister
Last week, my 36-year-old sister was having eye issues and went to the ophthalmologist to get checked. The doctor sent her straight to the ER for an MRI after finding pretty severe papilledema in both eyes (inflammation of the optic nerve) and told her it could be a pseudo tumor (idiopathic intracranial hypertension), MS or a brain tumor … .
She started with a zero-second brain cycle and ended with a brain cycle of 80.

Dr. Barry Gillespie opens windows in your brain you never knew you had, getting your brain to breathe and improving cognitive function.
Dr. Loose, as he’s known, also has the magic touch when it comes to releasing strain, which can hold people back from living as they’re designed and in their purest essence. I have benefited from multiple sessions with Dr. Gillespie and learned so much about Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy during a Foundation Training I took in April 2016. I recommend Dr. Gillespie’s patient and educational services and am happy to know he’s working hard to give every newborn the best opportunity to thrive in life.

Father Finds Extraordinary Gillespie Approach Benefits in Baby and Self
Baby's Story
After one session, we noticed a positive difference in her ability to hold her milk down and sleep through the night. After several sessions, she was like a new baby, sleeping, eating, digesting and holding down her milk really well. Since then, she is a super-energetic happy girl who is cruising through her developmental milestones. She is only 1½ years old but seems older as she is developing so well. We could not be more happy or thankful for this work.
Father's Story
After my first session, I felt my body start to loosen up, and I decided to try to play Frisbee a day later. I jogged and played that day, and I was so excited that I knew I was on to something. After each session, I had less pain in my back, and my disk eventually healed and went back into place with no additional medication or treatments, only the work of Dr. Gillespie. My blood pressure is now normal, and my back feels so much better. I now live every day feeling like it is a bonus day of grace.
“I Felt 10-Plus Years Younger”
To say that I felt 10-plus years younger that morning is not hyperbole, and I may be undershooting. I had my second session … and she continued to peel the onion. My blood pressure is now normal, and my back feels so much better. I now live every day feeling like it is a bonus day of grace.
The main reason I commented was to say that our almost-19-month-old Veda, who was a training baby in Louisville, also had her first session since that training … and she absolutely loved it. She responded so well. Her overall mood and cognitive ability seemingly exploded during the session, after the session and every single day since. Her balance, general movement and the way she holds herself are all improved. Her speech is now exploding by the hour it seems. It’s been pretty amazing to watch. All that to say I 1,000 percent agree with that assessment for pediatric and adult cognition as I have experienced it exponentially as well.
Former Child Patient Returns for Therapy for Her Baby: Gas Pains, Trunk Strength and Head Control Are Improving
Although she has been to only one session so far, I already see Brooklyn’s gas pains, trunk strength and head control improving. … Thank you, Dr. Gillespie. I will forever be grateful for your work and all of the treatment and help you have given me—and now for how you’re helping my baby girl.
The Course of My Life Has Been Changed Forever
I have to say, after only three Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy sessions, the course of my life has changed forever. No one ever addressed the why behind my high narrow palate or crowded mouth. I have snored most of my life and until this year did not realize how much I was a mouth breather. I started to have more migraines this year than ever. After my third session, the shape of my face (at 34 years old!) has changed! My jaw is more forward, my tongue sits higher and my lips seal much easier.
I cannot even express the gift of this work and how it will help prevent these issues in my three-year-old, now that I know better. Thank you cannot even begin to suffice, Dr. Barry Gillespie.
—Shannon Colborne
“The Gillespie Approach Has Changed Both Our Lives”
