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!

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!

Rolfing® Structural Integration views the human form as an interwoven system where muscles, bones, nerves, and organs are all connected through a web of fascia.

Rather than treating a sore shoulder in isolation, we address how the entire system might be contributing to that shoulder pain; how tension, alignment, gravity, and fascia interact.

This holistic perspective is at the core of Rolfing® SI.

For centuries, medical textbooks claimed we knew all the organs of the human body. But in a twist that has shocked the scientific world, researchers have now identified an entirely new organ hiding in plain sight: the interstitium. This discovery is not just a curiosity. It could rewrite what we know about how the body functions, fights disease, and even spreads illness like cancer.
The interstitium is a vast, fluid-filled network that runs throughout the body’s connective tissue. Unlike the solid tissues once believed to surround our organs and muscles, the interstitium is more like a sponge: a dynamic, springy mesh of collagen and elastin fibres filled with interstitial fluid. It acts as a shock absorber, helping to protect vital structures such as blood vessels, muscles, and organs from everyday impacts and pressure.
What makes this even more fascinating is how it went unnoticed for so long. Traditional microscopic slides drain fluids from tissue samples before examination. Because of this, the interstitium's spongy structure collapsed and appeared as dense, solid tissue under the microscope. Only with newer imaging techniques that preserve fluid in living tissue did scientists finally spot its true nature.
But the interstitium isn’t just about physical support. It may also be a key player in how diseases progress. Researchers now believe it could be a highway for cells, immune signals, and even cancer to move through the body. Understanding how this fluid network functions might open up new approaches for early diagnosis, drug delivery, and even stopping the spread of tumours.
We’re only beginning to understand the full implications, but one thing is clear: even in the age of advanced medicine, the human body still holds secrets. The interstitium is a vivid reminder that scientific curiosity continues to uncover surprising truths about who we are.

New Donation-Based Class Offering

“The Movement Clinic”
Serious Play and Partner Games
Sundays 5-6:30pm @ Elemental 5

Simple games played with ourselves or with a partner inform us of and re-pattern our habitual strategies for movement. Through supportive, more-curious-than-competitive games that encourage us to gently investigate the weaknesses in one another’s structures, we gain understanding of our own bodies and compensatory patterns and learn to adapt, or lose.

See you Sunday!

Have chronic aches or pains? Need good bodywork but think massage sometimes “isn’t enough?”

Rolfing is an alignment therapy which uses deep manual techniques, body-centered education, gait analysis, and postural and movement re-patterning for greater balance and mobility, chronic pain and tension relief, improved confidence, energy levels, and psychological well-being, and ease of movement.

This week I had my first MovNat Personal Training session with a client in the park! I can’t wait to develop a personalized workout program for them to regain their Natural Movement skills 😁

Demonstrated in this video is a Balanced Foot-Hand Crawl on two 2x4s. The foot-hand crawl demands a high level of coordination, and performing it balanced on a narrow surface adds an extra challenge for shoulder and hip stability.
