“I approach bodywork as a partnership between my client and myself using breath and movement to address holding patterns and discomfort. My intention is to find where you are holding tension in your body and help you recognize it and release it through fascial manipulation. I see Rolfing Structural Integration as a way of reminding the body of its full potential to move more freely which increases ones vital energy throughout the body/mind system. Freeing the breath and finding greater freedom to move is an integral part of the process. I seek to provide an environment for your mind/body to find its own equilibrium.”
