“My mission is to create a safe space for us to work together. When I work with someone I give them my undivided attention, attuning to where they are and where they want to go. At the end of each session my hope is you feel simultaneously lighter and grounded, spacious and curious about your inner environment, as well as how you relate to others.”

Originally developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf in the 1950’s, Rolfing is an in-depth, hands-on form of bodywork that reorganizes the body’s connective tissue to help relieve people of pain. A session involves a Rolfer™ looking at the client, evaluating how they stand and move, and then proceeding with the actual session.
