Rolfing was my original bodywork experience back in 1979. It helped me redirect the coarse of my life. Within a year of completing the basic 10 series I left my profession as a Structural Engineer in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. I realized I needed more freedom and more spaciousness to express myself. The corporate world of engineering didn't allow for such an adventurous expression.
Through the Rolfing, I had a newly attained openness that fueled my inherently curious spirit. I sought a more natural lifestyle, while pursuing outdoor interests and travel. In the wildest of places I biked, snowboarded, skied, backpacked, rock climbed and mountaineered my way into who I was becoming. Structural Integration was my goal, though I didn’t realize it at the time.
Thoroughly immersed in an alternative lifestyle, while in Asia on a mountaineering trip, the loss of my partner in a climbing accident pushed me into another unfamiliar arena,. I now had to confront myself on the deepest of all levels, one of intense emotional trauma. With more grief than I thought I could handle and a physical body locked up from the shock, personal healing became a do or die situation. My first year back in the states dragged on ever so slowly as I sought solace in alternative therapies, retreats, and meditation. Nature and the wilderness continued to be my best resource for connecting to my inner healer. My personal healing slowly progressed over the next decade.
During the millennium summer, as a 50th birthday present to myself, I completed a life long ambition of becoming a “Rolfer”. I chose the Guild for Structural Integration for my training because I felt they offered “the heart of Rolfing”. My teachers were Emmett Hutchins and Peter Melchior, Dr. Rolf's first trained teachers and her original "Rolfers", who today as "masters of the craft" continue to passionately hold true to her visions and goals.
I bring this passion, vision, dedication, and continuity to my work. My goal is to assist you in finding balance and integration in your own experiences. Structural Integration helps you to reconnect with yourself through your body. I want you leave each session feeling more empowered, confident, and courageous about the choices you make. I want you to feel good about yourself.
In addition to core structural/postural work, I work with both acute and chronic conditions such as back and neck pain, foot and knee problems, menopause, migraines, wrist and elbow problems, liver, intestinal, and kidney function, detoxing, and TMJ. I bring together over 25 years of hands on healing experience in a multiplicity of modalities.
I use the name Dr. Rolf originally gave to her work, Structural Integration. To help clear any confusion between the use of the terms Rolfer and Structural Integration, please visit

In the summer of 2004, I commenced study with another "master bodyworker", Dr. Fritz Smith, the originator of Zero Balancing. Dr. Smith is both a medical doctor and an osteopathic doctor as well as an acupuncturist and trained Rolfer. His studies with Dr. Rolf influenced his discoveries of gentler ways to achieve powerful changes in the body's structural system by engaging the client's energy body along with the structural body.
Most recently, Spring of 2006, I returned to study with my original Structural Integration teacher, Emmett Hutchins in Kauai, achieving my Advanced Certification in Structural Integration.

Each person has a unique blend of frequency signature patterns that are unlike anyone else. When these frequency signatures become disrupted, the body seeks to reveal the imbalance by manifesting symptoms unique to the individual. These symptoms are typically interpreted as patterns of dis-ease and stress that have their own disruptive frequency patterns. Because of this, it’s important to embrace the individualism of the dis-ease pattern for it is this pattern, not a particular therapy or a practitioner, that holds the code to healing.
