For over 45 years, I have been developing Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy and have trained many amazing people along the way. Since 2017, when I turned 70, I have entrusted my work to be taught exclusively by Holly Steflik and Kim Sherlock.
I am disheartened to see former students taking my work and changing the name. They use Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy principles but call it something different to develop their own brand without acknowledging The Gillespie Approach. This is very confusing for people who are looking for help.
If you are searching for a Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy provider in your area, please insist on asking them for their Gillespie Approach Training credentials in both Foundation Training and Infant Training.
If you wish to be trained in Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, please make sure Holly Steflik and Kim Sherlock, my only approved instructors, are teaching the trainings to receive the proper training.
For safety reasons, I have strictly instructed Kim and Holly not to teach anyone the infant work until they have successfully completed the Foundation Training. They carefully work with students and many babies to ensure safety and the best possible learning experience. We believe six days are mandatory to sufficiently learn the infant work.
Please avoid copycat and shortcut trainings. Our passionate desire for safety and a quality learning experience will not be compromised. We believe our Gillespie Approach Training will be well worth your time and investment.
