Release Pain. Restore Alignment. Move with Ease.
A whole-body approach to lasting change through Rolfing Structural Integration™.
Rolfing Structural Integration is a hands-on approach to realigning your body so you can move with ease and live without pain. Unlike massage or chiropractic work, Rolfing addresses your body as a whole system, looking at how each part relates to and affects the others.
How It Works
Rolfing focuses on fascia, the connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, bone, and organ in your body. When you're injured, have surgery, or live with poor postural habits, fascia contracts and thickens. This pulls your body out of alignment, restricts movement, and creates pain.
As a Rolfer, I use slow, carefully directed pressure to lengthen fascia and release restrictions. Sometimes the work feels like pleasant stretching. Other times there's a warm sensation as tissue releases. Many clients experience relief and greater freedom of movement after the first session.
What Makes Rolfing Different
If you come to me with foot pain, I don't just work on your foot. I look at your entire body. I watch how you walk. I track how weight transfers from your hip through your knee and into your ankle. Pain is rarely isolated. It's part of a pattern, and that pattern shows up throughout your whole structure.
When pain is addressed in isolation, it usually returns. The body compensates for injuries to maintain balance, which throws other areas out of alignment and creates new problems. Rolfing eliminates these compensatory patterns and restores order to your overall structure.
What is Rolfing?
What to Expect
Since each person's bone structure is different, there's no single idea of what a perfect body should look like. Optimal alignment is unique to you.
Some conditions resolve in just a few sessions. Others benefit from the full ten-session series, which addresses your entire body in a carefully sequenced progression. The goal is to make lasting changes over weeks or months, not temporary relief that fades in days.
After completing a Rolfing series, many clients return periodically for tune-ups or to address new issues as they arise.
Meet Diana
I graduated from the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado in 2004 and completed my Rolfing Advanced Training certification in 2009. I have also studied cranial sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, energy medicine, and Rolf movement.
I understand that bodies hold stories. Past injuries, surgeries, and unprocessed experiences can live in your tissue, affecting how you move, breathe, and feel in your body. My approach to Rolfing is rooted in respect for your body's wisdom and your pace of healing.
You are always in control of your session. I work collaboratively, checking in frequently, adjusting pressure and pacing to what feels right for your nervous system. I create a space where your body can begin to release what it's been holding without forcing or pushing through.
Healing isn't always linear, and sometimes the body needs to move slowly. My goal is not just to address pain and restriction, but to support you in finding new possibilities in your body - more ease, more freedom, and a greater sense of home in yourself.
Does Rolfing Hurt?
This is the most common question I get. Rolfing developed a reputation for being painful back in the 1970s when it was first popularized, but the work has evolved significantly since then. My approach is gentle and responsive.
Everyone's tissue is different. Some people experience no discomfort whatsoever. Others might feel brief moments of intensity when we're working through areas of restriction. I work in constant communication with you, adjusting pressure and pacing throughout the session. You're always in control. If something doesn't feel right, we change it.
What Happens in a Session?
When you first come to see me, we'll talk about your goals and health history. Then I'll have you undress to your comfort level (underwear or athletic wear) so I can observe how your body is aligned when you're standing and walking.
Most of the session happens on the massage table. I'll use my hands, forearms, and sometimes elbows to work with your connective tissue. Throughout the session, I'll have you get up and walk so we can both feel and see the changes that are happening in real time.
How Long Will the Results Last?
Rolfing creates lasting change because it addresses the underlying patterns of restriction and misalignment in your body, not just the symptoms.
That said, how you use your body matters. If you work at a desk fifty hours a week with a keyboard that's too high, a monitor at the wrong angle, and you're slouching forward, patterns of tension will likely return. Part of my job is to help you understand how your daily habits contribute to pain so you can make adjustments that support your body long-term.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Rolfing is not covered by insurance. However, you may be able to pay with pre-tax dollars through an HSA or FSA account.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Many people experience significant relief and greater freedom of movement after the first session. Some conditions resolve in three to five sessions. Others benefit from more work.
The Rolfing "Ten Series" is a carefully sequenced progression designed to address your entire body and bring harmony to your whole musculoskeletal system. The goal is to create lasting change over weeks or months, not years.
After completing a series, many clients return periodically for tune-ups or to address new issues as they arise.
How Often Should I Space My Sessions?
If you're in acute pain, I typically recommend weekly sessions until the pain pattern has been properly addressed. For other work, most clients schedule sessions one to two weeks apart. We can adjust the pacing based on what your body needs.
