"As your body finds integration and relief from pain and tension, so do many other aspects of yourself."

Structural Integration
What is it?
Structural Integration is a field of bodywork growing since the phrase was first coined during the life of the founder of this work, Dr. Ida P. Rolf.  The work differentiates itself from other systems of manual therapy such as chiropractic, osteopathy, and massage therapy.  That main difference lies in the essence of the process.  Structural Integration organizes the fascial matrix of the body in a systematic way over the course of time.  Rolf's genius observation was that gravity becomes the most potent therapist between treatments, so that the time between appointments is part of the efficacy of the work.  
​For example, a client will receive a session aimed at providing more support in the body through the arches of the feet.  As their body moves with these changes overtime, a new shortness can reveal itself in relationship to the new alignment of the legs.  Perhaps, more tissue bunches in the torso as a result.  Then, the client can go in for some work and have their torso lengthened which leads to the next part of the process, and so on, until the work is complete.  Each session builds upon the next until ideally, the body resolves its own complaints by moving within the improved arrangement.

My bodywork approach

I have trained in many modalities of bodywork, and continue to advance my study.  I include all of what I learn in the Structural Integration process with clients.  The main process that I use is called the Series or "The Recipe."  Traditionally, it is 10 sessions with a particular goal for each appointment.  I use the Series as my template, and I deviate from it as necessary.  However, I always stay in relationship to the Series as a reference point.  For example. if a client schedules a session because of an ankle injury, I'll help their ankle feel better of course.  Then, together we decide if a Series is a useful strategy for a more complete recovery.  When we have an injury, especially a chronic injury, the Series is a brilliant solution to expedite the body's process for healing.
