Rolfing Resilience
About
I have been Rolfing for 10 years, currently working towards my Advanced certification. I have had many clients with EDS who have benefitted from my work and recommended I join this site. Rolfing is the pioneering work with fascia, which is more of a philosophy than an exact method or protocol. Understanding that fascia is what holds the body together and must be worked with as a whole system, I apply deep tissue bodywork, as well as movement and awareness exercises to address chronic pain, with an emphasis on holding compassionate space for my clients to gain more understanding of their bodies. Often this can include assignments to be completed between sessions such as strengthening or awareness exercises. In my practice, I find the few super tight places that are doing all the work of holding you together, and work to distribute that strain across more of your musculature by waking up dormant muscles, so that your system has more ease and sustainability. I have been teaching meditation for 15 years, so this can be a resource in sessions as well. I also practice Sourcepoint energy work, which is great for those with more severe EDS who need a lighter touch.
