I came to Rolfing like many people, as a last resort years into recovery from an injury. There came a point when I could no longer do what was required of me without chronic pain and I wasn’t able to engage in the activities that brought my life meaning.
In college, I tore the labrums in both hip joints playing volleyball. Those injuries initiated a journey of suffering, imbalance, surgical intervention, and ultimately wholeness and healing.
Since 2017, this modality has been and source of transformation and wellbeing. After seven years of being a client and experiencing a variety of incredible practitioners, I finally found myself at the Rolf Institute following in their footsteps.
Rolfing has helped me feel more at home in my body. A sense of safety, comfort and connectedness blossomed within me as I received this sacred work.
Walking and being upright became easier, the aches and pains reduced, old tensions melted away, and I felt like I could finally breathe. Whether I was dancing, laughing, or laying on the couch, I started to experience the delights of embodiment.
After the Ten Series, I felt more like myself than I had in a very long time. The present moment became increasingly accessible. This effect was repeated after receiving the Ten Series a second time. Now, with each session, whether as a client or practitioner, I feel that much more grounded in my own being.
I believe the essence of Rolfing is embodiment and coming home to ourselves. Along with addressing misalignments, aches and pains, this forms the core of my approach. I look forward to serving this community through the legacy of Dr. Rolf’s work.
