Welcome to Nectar and Nurture, mama! I’m so glad you’re here!
I am Amanda, an RN, CLC (certified lactation counselor) and bodyworker trained in the Gillespie Approach— Craniosacral Fascial Therapy.
The Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy is founded by Dr. Barry Gillespie, based on his theory that the craniosacral and fascial systems are one interconnected system.
The craniosacral system includes structures of the brain, spinal cord and sacrum that gently pumps cerebrospinal fluid. The fascia is a continuous layered web of connective tissue that surrounds and protects all structures of the body and brain. It also influences the function of cranial nerves and the central nervous system. Physical and emotional traumas have the capacity to tighten the free-moving craniosacral fascial system by exerting pressure on nerves, muscles, organs, blood and lymph vessels, and bones.
The goal of craniosacral fascial therapy is to gently unwind and release fascial strain because releasing tight fascia allows the cranial bones and sacrum to correct, allowing for optimal mobility and better brain function. Releasing tight fascia facilitates the cerebrospinal fluid to flow optimally, giving the body space to heal, as the body is self-healing and self-regulating.
while I mostly see babies ages 0-12 months old, currently accepting children up to 6 years old!
