Rolfing Structural Integration: A Body, Mind, Spirit Approach to Wellness

Welcome!

Every person that walks into my office possesses a unique history and potential for health. So, the first thing I do as an Advanced Rolfer™ is listen to my client’s goals and concerns. (The spectrum of replies is vast as I work with people for all sorts of physical, emotional and energetic reasons.) I then use the Rolfing® techniques that suit the individual best while working to address these goals. Strengthening a person’s connection to a universal blueprint of health is an important theme of my work, as is enhancing alignment, balance, and ease of movement.

What is Rolfing?

Thousands of people have experienced relief from pain and stress through Rolfing® Structural Integration. Even with this excellent record it remains a mystery to many, and I am frequently asked, “What is Rolfing?”

Named after its founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that releases and balances unhealthy lines of tension and stress trapped in the body’s connective tissues, called fascia.

More than fifty years ago, Dr. Rolf recognized that the body is inherently a seamless network of connective tissue, rather than a collection of separate parts. This system of connective tissue surrounds, supports, and penetrates all of the muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. Rolfing works on this web-like complex to release, realign, and balance the whole body.

After the internal lines of tension are released and balanced, a person gains a more finely tuned shape and posture. Freedom and ease of movement are also enhanced. And with the body’s natural integrity strengthened, so too is one’s health and well being.

For many, experiencing these positive changes allows them to express more of who they truly are. It is this combination of tissue release, alignment, ease of movement, and the possibility for personal growth that makes Rolfing so unique and transformative.

I can meet with you a few times to begin to address a specific injury or complaint, or we can consider your whole body during 10 systematic sessions known as the “Ten Series.” Advanced Rolfing series are also available for those who have already completed a Ten Series.

I am more than happy to visit with you at my office to answer any of your questions and demonstrate what Rolfing feels like during a no-charge thirty-minute consultation.

Please contact me with questions or to set up an appointment.

Warmly,
