,For over 25 years, I’ve worked with people seeking relief from pain, tension, and long-held patterns in their bodies. My work is grounded, attentive, and shaped by decades of hands-on practice, ongoing study, and deep respect for the body’s intelligence.

About Rolfing
Bodies adapt to life. Injury, stress, repetition, and emotional experience all leave their mark, shaping how we move, stabilize, and protect ourselves. These responses are intelligent and necessary—but when they persist, they can limit comfort, mobility, and vitality.
Rolfing® Structural Integration uses thorough, effective soft-tissue work and movement education to address complex patterns, release restrictions, and support ease of movement.
Clients often experience:
- less pain and chronic tension
- improved posture, flexibility, and coordination
- increased body awareness and resilience
- a greater sense of ease, clarity, and stability
“When I got up, I realized the knee pain I’d blamed on turning 40 was gone. It hasn’t returned—and it’s been ten years.” — Chloe Taylor
What Rolfing Can Help With
Some people come primarily for physical concerns or accumulated stress, while others support around trauma held in the body. Many are navigating a layered mix of pain, stress, and trauma. My approach meets you where you are — listening closely to what you share and to what your body communicates — and working in a way that supports meaningful, lasting change.

Who This Work is For
This work may be a good fit if you:
- Are dealing with chronic pain, tension, or restricted movement
- Sense that your body holds long-standing patterns shaped by injury, stress, or life experience
- Want thorough, skilled hands-on work
- Appreciate a patient, collaborative pace that allows change to last
- Are curious about how structure, movement, and the nervous system interact
You don’t need to have a clear diagnosis or explanation of what's wrong—just a sense that your body could feel better supported.
This work may not be the best fit if you:
- Are looking for a quick fix or passive treatment
- Prefer a highly scripted or standardized protocol
- Are seeking intensive trauma processing beyond what can be supported through touch-based work
- Want forceful or aggressive bodywork without attention to integration
If you’re unsure, we can talk. Helping you determine whether this work is a good fit is part of my role.
