Why do I love Rolfing®?

After spending ten years working in Grand Canyon National Park as a plant biologist, I decided it was time for a new direction. Now, instead of working to protect plants and enhance habitats, I focus my energy on people, enhancing the way they move and play in the world. I finished my initial training at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado in July 2017, and continue with my training there now. I absolutely love the work and am so inspired by the results I see in my clients.
I first heard about Rolfing® in college: some of the modern dancers I knew talked about how Rolfing® had helped them. I noticed they moved more fluidly and effortlessly than the rest of us. I was intrigued.
In 2012, I had my own first experience through the 10 Series. While I had a few chronic aches and pains, I was mostly just curious about Rolfing® and its transformative power. That first series was profound for me, both physically and psychologically: my chronic hip pain and leg length difference was gone, I gained more mobility in my shoulder after surgery, and my life-long habits of inefficient walking and running were re-patterned so that those movements felt more graceful and fluid. The incredible changes that I experienced inspired me to study Rolfing® Structural Integration, so that I could help others gain that same sense of freedom of movement and well-being.
