DIa's Story

In 1974 at Stanford Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California, while attending my infant daughter I made a vow to dedicate myself to the pursuit of answers about the meaning of life and death, health and disease. I began studying nutrition to try to cure cancer. Already a practicing metaphysician with an understanding of subtle energies, I began seeking initiations with eastern gurus, to ease my emotional pain and confusion. When I was no longer a mother I returned to college studying anatomy, to complete my degree in Occupational Therapy.

Dia Lynn was studying at the Rolf Institute for Structural integration in Boulder CO. while Dr. Ida P. Rolf was still conducting classes. Dia was deeply impressed and imprinted with Dr. Rolf’s vision for creating, one Rolfed body at a time, a more orderly and well-balanced society of humans who were operating in harmony with the earth’s gravitational field. She was privileged to serve Dr. Rolf’s personal needs in 1978 when she was in California for treatments. Dia returned for Advanced training in 1981 and spent 40 years in private practice as a Rolf method Structural Integrator.

During this time Spirit guided me to my next teacher and modality, Holotropic Breathwork® and Dr. Stanislav Grof. During 1988 I participated in monthly experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness exploring retained birth trauma through Holotropic Breathwork®. This aspect of transpersonal psychology answered my lingering questions about birth and death, leading to profound understandings and acceptance of the death of my daughter and loss of a son who was adopted at birth. With three years of training and traveling to Marin county I was certified by Dr. Stanislav Grof as a facilitator in Holotropic Breathwork®. I have since lead groups in Hawaii, Prague, Czechoslovakia, California, and Colorado.


While at the Pacific Coast Church with Dr. Bill Little, I undertook the two year Fundamentals of Religious Science training, then entered Practitioners training followed by two years of Ministerial training. The church is a theological seminary, associated with Emerson Institute in Oakhurst, California where I received my Masters’ and Doctorate of Religious Studies in 2010.
