A big and heartfelt THANK YOU for supporting my practice in 2025!
Wonderful clients, YOU keep me in practice. You keep my hands warm, my eyes keen, my mind, body, and soul fed, and my heart full. Thank you!
Because of you, 2025 was truly a year to remember.
Continuing Education
I was able to take not one, not two, but THREE Continuing Education workshops from the Rolf Institute in 2025, as well as earn my Corrective Exercise Specialization from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
ENERGYWORK AND SOMATIC MEDICINE
At the Rolf Institute, I learned a subtler approach to Rolfing® which primarily uses body awareness, somatic movement, and light, informative touch to release and re-educate the body toward higher order. I later took a workshop to learn to apply the Ten Series using this technique for individuals who prefer a lighter touch or a more energetic, awareness- and movement-based approach.
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES FOR HEAD AND NECK
On the other side of the spectrum, I took a course in November on Advanced Techniques for the Head and Neck. This was an extremely detailed course which taught specialized techniques to work on the muscles and connective tissues of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, and cranium, as well as the neck’s fascial connections to the heart, lungs, and diaphragm.
CORRECTIVE EXERCISE SPECIALIZATION
With the National Academy of Sports Medicine, I took a Corrective Exercise Specialization which taught techniques to identify common postural distortions and joint imbalances and the under/overactive muscles in each, then enhance postural balance (or on a more specific level, balance the disproportionate forces pulling a joint out of alignment to restore its natural movement and positioning) through targeted rolling, stretching, and exercise.
Business Updates and Expansion
I added two new offerings to my arsenal in 2025 in the form of Rolfing® *Energetic* Integration and Corrective Exercise, introduced a sliding scale to maintain accessibility while raising my prices to reflect the rising value of my work, and onboarded a new employee: Head of Client (r)Elations, Chunder!
The Year Ahead
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
I’m very excited to announce that I am implementing a Scholarship Program for Youth Rolfing® Ten Series and Adult *Energetic* Ten Series designed to provide access to therapeutic bodywork for those who need and cannot otherwise afford it.
One applicant from each category will be awarded a full Ten Series, which will begin in February and must be attended on a weekly or semi-weekly basis. Applications are now open until the end of January and are for new clients only. Please share with anyone whom you think would benefit!
*Apply Here* for Youth Rolfing® Ten Series (ages 12-21) or Adult *Energetic* Ten Series (21+) Scholarships

I am hoping to offer another round of scholarships in the Fall and am looking for ways to make this project sustainable long-term. If you or anyone you know has ideas for how to fundraise, local businesses who may want to sponsor a scholarship, etc. please let me know!
DISCOUNTED ROLFING FOR YOUTH
Recognizing the remarkably transformative power of Rolfing® Structural Integration for youth, as well as how difficult it can be to provide bodywork for oneself—let alone one’s children—I have decided to offer ongoing discounts for all youth Rolfing® sessions. (Embodied) Children are the future!
– 60min Rolfing® Sessions for Youth Ages 12-21 - $100
– 30min Rolfing® Sessions for Youth Ages 0-11 - $50 (contact to book)
Parents are required to be present for all sessions with children ages 0-11. Ten Series are only appropriate for youth ages 12+ and parental presence is required for Core Sessions (4-7).
IT ONLY GETS BETTTER.
So far, I plan to sharpen my skills at the Rolf Institute with at least two different Continuing Education workshops in 2026, titled “The Mediastinum, Respiratory System & Hands/Arms: A Visceral & Deep Fascial Approach to an Upper Girdle Session” on March 21-23 and “Spinal Biomechanics: Scoliosis” on May 1-3. Catch a Rolfing® session with me right after one of these workshops to get my hands hot off the tuning block!
