Graduate from The European Rolfing Association in Munich, Germany, 2002.
Certified Advanced Rolfer by The European Rolfing Association.
Since the beginning of my career I have dedicated a great deal of time advancing my skills in areas of specialty: Visceral Manipulation and BioMechanics and now Nerve Manipulation. Visceral Manipulation is based on the principle that all organs have an inherent motion and necessary range of motion; any restriction to an organ results in a misalignment in the skeletal-muscular body. BioMechanics allows one to identify and determine how to correct asymmetries in the body. As we experience large or small injuries and stressors in life, our body seeks to adapt by either exaggerating these irregularities or driving individual body parts out of pattern. Nerve Manipulation is the ability to locate and resolve irritable or restricted nerves that are so many times the source of inflexibility, ache, pulling, tingling or numbness throughout the body. A nerve can only function correctly when it is able to move freely within its surrounding structures.
My professional approach includes being able to palpate and assess with accuracy, determine what systems are involved, strategize sessions efficiently, and to work in a gentle manner.
In addition to my studies, I have been an assistant instructor in over twenty classes to Rolf Instructor Liz Gaggini, teaching BioMechanics to Structural Integrators internationally. Presently, I am undergoing a rigorous certification program in Visceral Manipulation through The Barral Institute.
