Callai Reed Carroll,
CFT, RYT200, RPYT

I’m Callai Reed Carroll. My first name is pronounced like “Cali”.

I’ve found my own healing through wellness measures like Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, and other shifts to a more holistic lifestyle.

I’m a mother, Craniosacral Fascial Therapist, pre and postnatal yoga teacher, baby & me instructor, trained birth doula, and more. I also have a background in child development, psychology, and language acquisition. I live in Maryland with my extraordinary family.

Struggles with my first daughter after she was born sent me down a very long and winding path towards finding solutions for her. We pursued many therapy modalities including: chiropractic, craniosacral (CST), occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), orofacial myology (OMT/COM), saw several lactation consultants/IBCLCs, Speech Language Pathology (SLP), Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT), and more. CFT was one of the measures that helped the most.

I have since learned the fascial system is commonly overlooked in conventional medicine and is a crucial missing piece to restoring peace and health in the body.

I believe the infant body may experience a great amount of tension in utero and during the birth process. CFT soon after birth has the potential to mitigate many issues that are common (yet not normal) in infancy and childhood. It promotes ideal conditions for cognitive brain function, structural cranial development and structural health. An unhappy, fussy baby may simply be suffering from tight connective tissue (fascia) which can be released with CFT. Instead, parents are led to believe that many uncomfortable struggles are normal and will be outgrown.

Babies presenting with Lip or Tongue Ties benefit immensely from CFT sessions before and after releases. CFT releases the deep, restrictive fascial strain patterns that develop in fetal life associated with these oral ties.

Although my passion is working on infants and children, I also believe anyone can benefit from CFT no matter your age because we all have tension and compensation patterns in our bodies that we’ve accumulated from injuries, surgeries, traumas, sports, accidents, pregnancy, and more. Mothers benefit immensely from CFT due to the stress, strain, and structural changes created in pregnancy and from carrying/feeding babies and young children. The effects of CFT treatments may help create more peaceful, happy babies, mothers, and children which lead to a more enjoyable family environment altogether.

If you are interested in learning more about Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, I would love to hear from you and support your family’s health goals. I value this work immensely and understand how costly things can become when pursuing alternative treatment options that aren’t covered by insurance which is why I offer sliding scale/donation-based services.
