Since 1980, I have been a Rolfer, a person trained in the bodywork process of Structural Integration developed by Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D., over 60 years ago. I limped into it. Reconstructive knee surgery in 1975 left me with a stiff leg, so I originally went to be Rolfed just to stand up straighter and not walk so weird. I'd never heard of Rolfing before; had no idea of the power of this particular type of bodywork, no inkling that the work itself and the people associated with it would change my life so profoundly. My training was completed in 1980 at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado. I became an Advanced Certified Rolfer upon the completion of my Advanced Training in 1985.
Dr. Rolf was a brilliant woman and a pioneer in the ideas of transformational bodywork. What she really wanted to do was create a more functionally efficient human being, one that would last longer, look better and feel better while lasting. The web of connective tissue throughout the body (called fascia) was her mode for affecting deep and lasting change in the human structure. Because of its malleability, Dr. Rolf oftern referred to the human body as a "plastic medium", one that could be brought into proper alignment at almost any stage of life. Over time, she developed a ten-session series designed to do just that and, later, developed the five-session Advanced Series.
I have rolfing practices in Portland, Oregon; Dallas, Texas; and Tulsa, Oklahoma. I also do occasional rolfing in Roseburg, Oregon. I travel to Dallas and Tulsa every 6 to 8 weeks and group the sessions in a particular way, usually seeing each client twice while I'm in town. The cost per session is $100. Contact information is listed below. Please contact me for the current schedule.
