I work with body structure and form which is held in place by the myofascial (connective tissue) system surrounding all muscles, bones, joints, and organs. Tight, shortened, glued together connective tissue sheaths can be manipulated into softer, more pliable sheaths that allow your muscles to glide smoothly along bones without undue pull or scars that distort your structure. My work has evolved from over 40 years as a Rolf Structural Integrator which is a 10-session process (5 sessions for Advanced work). As an Advanced Practitioner, I have the ability to recognize deviations from optimal alignment with a quick structural evaluation as you stand and move. I can easily create a custom session for you or arrange a series to meet your time and financial needs.

TRANSFORMATIONAL BODYWORK is designed to be given in single sessions, and it includes other modalities not usually included in Structural Integration. I have studied and taught Myofascial Release which I often use to introduce strokes. preparing the tissue for deeper work as surface tensions relax. This makes the work feel gentler and less painful but is still very effective. I have master level training in Medical QiGong which allows me to do an energetic diagnosis of obstructed Qi that causes pain and dysfunction. By painlessly moving the Qi with my hands much of the more intense manipulations of Rolfing can be avoided. I often begin and end a session with energy balancing that leaves you in a relaxed but energized state more balanced and integrated than when you arrived.
