The fundamental Rolfing® approach is called the Ten Series, a holistic and intentional progression through the entire body to realign structure and optimize function.
- Each of the ten sessions is 90 minutes long and the entire series can be completed in 2-3 months.
- There’s enough flexibility in the process to allow for your structure’s particular needs and process; occasionally this means adding a few extra sessions to honor that process, but in general the sweet spot is 10-12.
- I advise scheduling sessions 1-2 weeks apart at the outset while we discover how your system responds to the work and what pace matches your financial, physical, and energetic resources.
If Rolfing® has sparked your interest, I strongly encourage you to invest in Ten Series. I also offer a Ten Series Plus (see Rates & Specials) that includes 3 additional sessions to ensure you’re equipped and empowered to reinforce your realignment in your daily routines and favorite activities!
IS ROLFING® PAINFUL?
It really depends on your body and on the Rolfer®. Some bodies are very sensitive to hands-on work. Others are not. What is painful for one person may feel like heaven to another. Many people often say Rolfing® elicits a sense of “good pain” – an intensity that signals the release of pent up tension or the awakening of a dormant structure rather than just a lot of hard pressure. If the intensity is ever too much, let me know and we’ll adjust the approach to better suit you body so our work together is effective.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN A SESSION?
A session will typically start with some pre-assessment where I’ll have you stand, walk, tune into certain things (i.e. breath, movement, ease, limitations), and give me some verbal feedback to accompany my observations of your structure and movement. Then we’ll start in on the work! Sometimes, during a session, I’ll have you get up or tune back into something to sense if there’s any changes in your body.
Every session will end with integrative work at the cranium and sacrum, as well as standing work called tracking to help you bring the changes upright into gravity. Your skills in communicating about what is happening for you will be crucial and your input/feedback is always welcomed.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR A SESSION?
Dress for sessions is typically athletic shorts or underwear for men and bra/underwear or a two-piece swimsuit for women. In general, and particularly for the first session, however, please no sports bras. Occasionally, depending on the session and what we’ll be working on in your body, you can wear more but it’s best to plan on the minimum. All of that said, your comfort is paramount to effective work – so if this recommendation doesn’t sit well with you, you can wear what you want to to remain comfortable!
HOW TO I GET TO YOUR OFFICE?
BOULDER: My office is located at 2955 Valmont Rd #100. This building is on the north side of Valmont Rd, just east of 29th St—it is called Centennial Square and you can park right in front of the building. Once parked, walk past the outside staircase and down a few steps to the lower level entrance. Once inside, proceed down the hallway across from you to the door at the end on the left. This is suite #100and you can let yourself in to the waiting area to have a seat. If the door is locked, please text me to let me know you’ve arrived.
SUNSHINE CANYON: My home studio is located 3.5 miles from the intersection of 4th St and Mapleton St at 3472 Sunshine Canyon Dr. Head west on Mapleton to enter the canyon, where the address correlates to the mileage. At the driveway entrance, there is a green-bordered sign with six addresses on it including mine (3472). At the top of the first hill, as you arrive at the parking lot, stay to the left then take the first, sharp right down the hill. Follow the small signs for 3472. You will come to a small parking area with a sign that says “Visitors Please Park Here” out in front of a large beige stucco house with a green metal roof. Park, then come through the gate and up to the front door on the porch. I will meet you there!
