Rolfing® Structural Integration is a somatic practice that uses intentional touch and movement to reshape, align, and balance the body. Rolfing uses a whole-system approach to enhance ease of movement, body efficiency, and general well being.

More specifically, Rolfing systematically addresses the entire body by manipulating its network of soft connective tissue. This tissue, known as fascia, gives the body its form. Over time, gravity, injuries, and day-to-day use often cause patterns of tension and strain. Undesirable patterns can lead to discomfort and pain that range from annoying to disabling. These patterns are released as the practitioner slowly applies directed pressure through hands-on touch and cueing specific movements. The body, through its own wisdom, reorganizes! Alignment improves throughout a Rolfing series as the practitioner work client together to release and reposition the connective tissue network.

Therapeutic bodywork during pregnancy focuses on the special needs of the birthing person as their body goes through the dramatic changes of the childbirth experience. Massage therapy enhances the function of muscles and joints. It also greatly improves circulation, general body tone, and can relieve mental, physical, and emotional fatigue. Bodywork can ease pain and discomfort associated with pregnancy and is useful for folks in all stages of pregnancy, including postpartum. It enhances range of movement and circulation, reducing problems associated with swelling, including varicose veins and cramps.
