🌟BIO:

✨️✨️Hi, I'm Tomer Kurman! I'm a Certified Rolfer in Toronto. My work is grounded in a deep belief in the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for transformation. I see the body as a living, adaptive structure — not a machine to be fixed, but an expression to be supported, organized, and empowered.

✨️✨️My sessions weave together precise touch, perceptual awareness, and functional movement to help clients feel more aligned, resilient, and connected. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, postural imbalances, emotional holding, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with your body, I aim to meet you where you are with clarity, care, and collaboration.

✨️✨️This work is not just professional for me — it’s deeply personal. As an athlete, mover, and lifelong student of the human experience, I’m constantly exploring how we can inhabit our bodies more fully and live with greater freedom and presence. My practice is grounded, intuitive, and informed by curiosity, compassion, and a drive to help people feel at home in their bodies again.

🌟How I got into Rolfing:

✨️✨️After years of sitting at a computer as a software developer, chronic tension and pain pushed me to look for a deeper way to relate to my body. Rolfing® Structural Integration changed how I moved, breathed, and experienced everyday life, which led me to complete my training at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® in Boulder, Colorado and open my practice in Toronto.
✨️✨️As my own structure unwound, I found a deep sense of meaning in exploring how fascia, movement, and the nervous system interact, and became committed to helping people cultivate a more aligned, resilient, and easeful relationship with their bodies so they can feel supported in the activities and rhythms that matter most to them.

🧚‍♀️ I’m Jennifer Hayes — a Certified Advanced Rolfer® and Rolf Movement® practitioner in Toronto since 1990 (Advanced training completed 1998), with a lifelong love of movement thanks to my background in theatre and dance. What I love most about Rolfing is how it helps people feel at home in their bodies — aligned, free, and able to move with ease.

💜 Over my 30+ years in practice, I wrote a book called Moving Into Alignment: Your Practical Guide to Improve Posture, Reduce Pain and Move with Ease — and it’s become a powerful tool for Rolfers to share with their clients (or use themselves) to deepen and maintain the gains from hands-on work.

📖 That book gave birth to my online movement program BodyFlow — a companion to the 10-series that blends movement practices from dance, yoga, martial arts and Rolf Movement so clients can keep improving posture, mobility and body awareness.

🌟 As part of my commitment to advancing Rolfing in Canada — as a member of the board of directors for the Rolfing Association of Canada — I’m dedicated to supporting fellow Canadian Rolfers, expanding movement-based education, and helping this work thrive nationwide.I’m passionate about helping people feel better in their bodies — moving more freely and confidently, reconnecting to their posture, breath, and movement potential. If you’re a Rolfer or a client of Rolfers curious about deeper movement tools, my book and BodyFlow are here to support you.

🇨🇦🇨🇦 I am Nanaimo's only Certified Advanced Rolfer™. I graduated from The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (Now the ​Doctor Ida Rolf Institute) in Boulder, Colorado in June of 2015, and I completed my Advanced Training in Germany in May of 2023. I am also a certified yoga instructor - a great combination for understanding how bodies move and function.

🇨🇦🇨🇦 I graduated from UVic with a B.Comm and worked for the government for 5 years, but found that it wasn't fulfilling enough working with paper: I wanted to work with people. I have always been interested in alternative therapies and helping people, and so I decided to pursue something in that field. But what? I contemplated several options (naturopathy, nutritionist, chiropractor...) and finally found what I was looking for. 

🇨🇦🇨🇦 I first was introduced to Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) when a Rolfer successfully treated my grandmother's lockjaw - a problem that conventional medicine said needed surgery to fix! My own Rolfing experience happened after bunion surgery: my toe was going numb, tingling, and turning purple whenever I would walk, run, or ride a bike. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to help. Three sessions of Rolfing and the issue was gone for good; and I had found my calling.

🇨🇦🇨🇦 I understand how debilitating an injury or surgery can be, and am thrilled to be able to help people on their journeys of healing and wellness. 

🇨🇦🇨🇦 Wondering where else you may have seen me? I am also involved in Nanaimo's Theatre scene, so you may have seen me on stage somewhere.🎭

The Rolfing Association of Canada is dedicated to offering the Basic Training each year in Canada.

If you are familiar with Rolfing, you know we need more Certified Rolfers in Canada. So many people can benefit from this modality. The science of is finally catching up to what Rolfing has focused on for over 70 years.

Offering the full Rolfing Certification training in Canada will lower the barriers for Canadians interested in pursuing Rolfing as a career to get started.

In the past all Rolfers in Canada would have had to travel internationally. Since trainings have only been offered at institutes in Boulder Colorado, Munich Germany, Brazil and Japan.
This is why Canada has so few Rolfers currently. The commitment and costs have been steep.

If you or someone you know might be interested in being apart of our training in 2026. Please add your name to our list of people interested by sending us an email to info@rolfingcanada.org

Give us a follow, and send us a DM for any inquiries!
It's important to know that you don't need any bodywork experience to take this training, however if you are an existing bodyworker we have a fast track program (shortening and lowering the cost of the first semester for you)
