Philosophy

 

My life has taught me that a natural approach to addressing health problems, focusing on the entire person – not just the illness – and emphasizing prevention plus lifestyle education, are the cornerstones of true wellness and vitality.

 

All of my Rolfing® work is centered on the following core principles:

 

  • Foremost Do No Harm
  • Belief in the natural Healing of Nature and the Human Body
  • Find the Cause, don't Fix the Symptom
  • Practitioner as Health Partner & Teacher
  • Treat the Person not the Part
  • Emphasize Preventive Care
  • Develop and Sustain Life-Long "Best Health" Practices

 

In my relationship with each client I make every effort to integrate my life experience as a consultant, executive advisor/coach and health practitioner, thus there are key elements I bring into my work with others:

 

  • Every Client is Unique & the Center of my Attention
  • Open & Active Listening
  • No Judgement
  • Being Present in Each Moment
  • Hearing, Feeling & Receiving what is Not Said
  • Developing Empathy & Resonance with Every Individual
  • Intuition-based Inquiry
  • Creating & Maintaning a Therapeutic Relationship
  • Monitoring the Healing Process
  • Natural & Complete Closure

 

Our common goal is to help you discover your body’s innate healing abilities and intelligence, to explore new possibilities for awareness, movement, health & well-being;  ultimately, to empower you to create and maintain wellness in your own body not just today, but for the rest of your life.

Testimonials

   

"The tension and pain in my jaw is gone.  I sleep better and wake up with more energy since starting my Rolfing sessions."

 

"Yesterday, I went for a hike and could not stop walking... the pain in my back is com-pletely gone.  Credit to Rolfing for helping rid me of the pain and giving me this new way of moving."

 

"I came to you for pain in neck, shoulder and arm. My Golfing instructor however, wanted to know who I worked with to improve my swing!  Clearly Rolfing has had effects beyond my expectations.  Pain gone. Improved Golf swing... quite a bargain!"

 

"My Yoga instructors have asked me what I am doing differently... I say Rolfing. I'm surprised that they see me as a completely different person since I started my sessions with you."
