This is one possible patient/client explanation about the philosophy of our work: The basic principle of CFT is that the body knows best how to heal itself. Professionals need to define their specific role in facilitating the body in healing itself. Our piece is noticing that the body (specifically the craniosacral fascial system) is tight due to trauma. If the Baby Brain Score is not perfect, we can do CFT to help the body free up and function better right from the start. This can correct the root cause of a future health problem and prevent a lifetime of suffering. We can also help facilitate the loosening of tight children and adults for better physiology and health.
