As a former gymnast, acrobatics instructor, biologist and International educator in the sciences, the current fascial research coming to light and the common sense claims that the philosophy and principles of Rolfing are founded on is what makes me a strong advocate of this holistic bodywork practice.  I am convinced that optimization of natural athletic performance, structural and functional development of the mind-body and grace in aging can be found with Rolfing.  Dr Ida Rolf’s brilliant 10 series recipie will bring better physical efficiency which helps build resilience and confidence.  I wish I had a Rolfer as a young gymnast, I think many of my later injuries could have been avoided and I would have corrected some of my structural limitations while developing in my sport.  Still, at this point in my life I have made this my second career because it will give me meaningful work, helping people heal or bringing themselves to an improved state of being in whatever capacity.
