Holding Trauma In Your Tissues? Understand CFT For Moms After Giving Birth, How Pelvic Floor And C-section Scars Are Affected, Interview With OT, Dominique Owner Of Newborn Flow

Hi friends! In this episode I interview my friend Dominique, an occupational therapist trained in the Gillespie approach for CFT and owner of the mobile practice Newborn Flow. She is local to the west valley in Phoenix Arizona. I'll have her information below! We cover a lot of ground in this episode including:

• what is cft, when we would benefit from it, what does it feel like?
• how long is a plan of care? what do you feel like after cft?
• understanding your fascial system and how your pelvic floor is affected with trauma
• working on your csection scars, hysterectomy, laparoscopic scars, how that relates to bladder leakage and urge incontinence
• where is the research? is holding emotion in your tissues a myth?
• are deep tissue massages good for us?
• DIY at home project so you can understand why the fascia needs to be worked with so gently

Stay tuned next week for part 2 all about your babies/kids!
