When the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can
flow through. Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself.

I specialize in the Structural Integration
10-Series. This series helps people who are suffering from chronic pain and are seeing physicians for the same
(myfacial/connective tissue) problem with no resolution. Structural Integration 10-Series is the way to go, if you want
to change your life and your posture!
Structural Integration (SI) 10-Series
(also known as Rolfing) uses slow strokes and deep pressure on contracted muscles, while the client performs
small muscle movements to optimally STRETCH the connective tissue/fascia. Oils or lotions are sometimes used.
Clients may remain clothed or unclothed (usually shorts/bra or 2-piece bathesuit) to their level of comfort. In
the series, the connective tissue is released, realigned, and balanced throughout the whole body. Experiencing
this 10-Series (10 separate sessions where each part of your body will be touched from head to toe, side to side) enhances
your posture and freedom of movement along with improving your emotional perspective too. Typical sessions are up to
1 hour to 1-1/2 hours in duration.

** STRUCTURAL
INTEGRATION (10-Series) SPRING-TIME RATE **
The "10-Series" includes 10 individual bodywork sessions with each session lasting from 1-1/2
hours. The series can be completed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. However, it really depends on YOU
and your commitment to change, feeling better, and other personal goals.
Each session is at the introductory cost of $85. This can be paid in full
prior to starting the series or you can pay for each individual session at your appointment date.

Results from Clients
Here are before/after profile pictures of one of
my clients who received the Structural Integration 10-series. Notice the more erect posture by her standing more
evenly through/on her feet; her head is more uplifted to the sky; her neck is no longer collasped but lengthened;
and her lower back is lengthend which brought in her lower abdomen.

When I came to Michele 10 weeks ago, I had pain in my left
shoulder, and I could not reach my arm straight up over head. Due to tight neck, chest and shoulders, my hands
would get numb when I did small motor movements or held my hands/arms overhead. I also had pain in my neck, lower back
and left hip. My chin jutted out, my shoulders slouched, and my IT band was always sore after I walked. I wanted some
relief from aches and pains and wanted to move better and be stronger.

After 10 weeks of Structural Integration, I can now lift my
arm over my head, and my hands are rarely numb. My posture has totally improved and I feel like I am getting stronger
to maintain it. I can walk more without pain and my left hip rarely hurts and is much more open and flexible.
I feel my whole body has been realigned. I am more aware of how I use my body so that I can maintain a pain-free
body. I feel like the bodywork I just received is still lasting even though the sessions are completed. I
am constantly thinking (and wanting to be) in constant, natural alignment which helps to improve my posture, too. I
learned so much about body awareness and how EVERYTHING is related and connected.
