Infant research project - Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

The Infant Research Project

I just wanted to comment on the infant research project posted on the Birth Professionals page. We accepted every fussy baby, no matter the difficulty of his/her situation. There was no fee for any visit. The parents came without cost until CFT was completed.

We did not cherry pick the low hanging fruit of the “easy” babies for this project. There were many babies we treated for 4 or 5 visits and their mothers saw no improvement. We realized that infants had many layers of trauma in their  onions and asked the mothers to be patient until we could help them become strain-free. Most mothers complied.

The most difficult babies often resulted in the breakthrough discoveries, i.e. what happened on that 11th visit that cleared him/her and we connected the dots to discover the answer. As I have said many times, this was the best six years of my life. As someone who was going to be a periodontist, it was more than I could ever have dreamed of. I’m very blessed to have that experience.
