"So many therapists are striking at the pattern of disease, instead of supporting the pattern of health. One of the things that you as Rolfers must always emphasize is that you are not practitioners curing disease; you are practitioners invoking health. Invocation is possible by an understanding of what the pattern is, the structural pattern of health."
/Dr. Ida P. Rolf

Eighteen years of experience of touching people fuels my passion and curiosity to understand this human form. I am mesmerized by its breath, expansion and contraction, the blueprint pattern underneath. I am amazed by the potential of our function. There are many perceptual lenses to view this human form. I feel most excited and challenged to understand this through the Rolfing paradigm coupled with our inherent movement patterns. I believe these theories of thought speak truer to interpret, translate, and heal the self.
I want to help you live with ease.
I want to help you live better in your body.
