About

Meet Kalei

Kalei Tompkins is a native of Berkshire County. She began dancing as a child, and teaching as a teen. "Movement just kind of fell into my lap, and has always found it's way to me, whether it was dance, yoga, or bodywork". As a teenager dance & Yoga helped her cope with anxiety & disordered eating. As an adult, experiencing trauma & loss, teaching movement classes not only brought joy to her and the community, but helped her heal from within. As she was finding her path in this crazy world, waitressing, nannying, studying Midwifery, and continuing to teach and learn all things movement related, she found a passion for facilitating healing through fascial unwinding. CFT (Gillespie Approach).

Kalei was trained in CFT in North Carolina with the creator, Berry Gillespie himself. This is where she learned the art & science of movement through the fascia and the unwinding process and where it all came together for her. Being a dancer, it made sense not only in her mind, but in her body too. That is when she knew her calling was growing. There is so much power in the body telling its story and with facilitated unwinding the stories come out. Kalei has since taken more courses in bodywork and life coaching to better assist her clients and their healing. The job of the facilitator is to remind clients along the path of healing that the power is within, and they must trust themselves first. You are the expert of your body, you just have to drop in an listen to it's guidance.

Kalei continues to educate herself with self-study, workshops, and courses. Continuing to offer only the best care for her clients. She is CPR Certified, Yoga Certified by the American Fitness Association, a Certified Life Coach by Transformation Academy, a Certified Loss Doula by SBD University, a Movement Instructor ,CFT Facilitator & Owner of Movement Matters Healing Arts.

"It is my mission & passion to hold the space for people to heal from within, educate about the fascia and bring everyone back to their innate wisdom. Our bodies were made to move, and that is where the healing begins. "
