Many people realize their posture needs improvement, but most don’t know the extent of pain and discomfort that can arise by being out of alignment. It also goes beyond physical pain and reaches into our psychological well being causing lack of energy and overall feeling of not feeling well.
Our sense of well-being and ability to function is uniquely tied to how well or poorly we manage and maintain our upright form in gravity. When we are out of alignment, gravity drags us down, just as it drags down a building that has lost its architectural integrity. Whether from poor posture, injury, illness or emotional distress, a misaligned body is at war with gravity. We experience this war as pain, stress or depleted energy. When the body loses its alignment, characteristic patterns of strain and tightness appear having a great effect on us.
Although many of us attempt to correct our posture feeling that something needs to change, it can be an overwhelming task requiring exhausting amounts of energy on our part as we try to sit or stand up straight. Most people just give up after awhile.
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a manipulative therapy and movement education program that releases these strain patterns allowing us, not only to stand and sit straight without effort, but also to move in a more fluid and graceful manner.
Rolfing is about enhancing the functioning of the whole body by making it right with itself and the gravitational pull. When strain patterns are released in the right order, the body rights itself in gravity and is allowed to heal itself.
If you can imagine how it feels to live in a fluid, light, balanced body, free of pain, stiffness, and chronic stress, at ease with itself and the gravitational field, then you will understand the purpose of the Rolfing process.
I practice Rolfing because I love to see real, holistic and lasting changes, not only in a person's physical structure but also in their psycological well being.
A typical Rolfing session is approximately 90 minutes long.
That depends. Rolfing SI is a 10-session series aimed at realigning and balancing the body as a whole. Each session addresses a different part of the body in optimal order building on the previous sesson. At the end of this process, the work is completed, the body is realigned.
During the 10-series, some people come once a week, some every two weeks and some once a month or every six weeks. The changes we make will last.
NOTE: Even though Rolfing Structural Integration is a series, you are welcome to try the first session of Rolfing to experience the changes that can be made.

Most frequently asked questions are covered on my website in the FAQ page.
In a typical Rolfing Structural Integration session the client will stand, move and walk so that we can discuss what is going on in their body and make a plan of what to do during that session. Then the client usually lies on the Rolfing table and the work begins.
As we work releasing different fascial shortenings, the client will be asked for small movements in different parts of the body. This helps facilitate changes and also increases their awareness of their bodies.
They may be asked during the session to stand, walk or sit on the side of the table to make sure we are on track in our process.
Rolfing Structural Integration will help EVERYONE!
Gravity is the only true constant in our lives. Days change, seasons change, but gravity stays the same. If we are out of alignment with gravity then we are fighting gravity. Rolfing Structural Integration allows us to use gravity instead of fighting against it.
Rolfing Structural Integration goes beyond pain relief. It offers a greater sense of well being and greater happiness from relief of "ailments" many times we don't even know we possess.
How good would it feel to just feel better?
Pain relief and a sense of being more graceful, fluid, and alive.

The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration
I believe that given the right opportunity our bodies can and will heal themselves.
I believe that modern drugs only "mask" the problem.
I believe the human being is a multi-layered organism and that the person as a "whole" has to be addressed for any real healing to take place.
I thought I had done all that I could do addressing my shoulder pain, hip pain and plantar fasciitis. I had gone to my personal physician, orthopedist, chiropractors, physcial therapy, massage therapists ALL with no relief. I thought, as many do, that I was just getting older and being in pain was just part of life. Then I discovered Rolfing Structural Integration.
After each Rolfing session I would drive 2-2.5 hours home spending each moment amazed at the changes that I felt in my body. I also began to be happier and was able to let stressful situations just roll off with greater ease. I knew I had to be a part of this!
Amazing also was a year after my sessions as I sat on my front porch one morning I noticed that I felt better than I did immediately after the completion of the series.
Now, as a Certified Rolfer, I find great joy in seeing others experience these profound changes. I love their expressions when they find their line in gravity and the relief it brings on many different levels.
That life truly can be better for everyone.
