I am a certified as an Advanced Rolfer® and a Rolf Movement® Practitioner, the highest levels of certification offered by the Rolf Institute. I received my initial training in 2001 - 2002 after more than two decades of experience in other bodywork and movement modalities. Since then, I have completed hundreds of hours of continuing education in Rolfing® Structural Integration and Rolf movement, as well as continuing studies in both yoga and Pilates. I have also been teaching anatomy and body-reading skills at the Phillips School of Massage in Nevada City since January, 2005. And I have co-led five day workshops at Esalen Institute in somatic pychology and developmental movement. 
One of my particular strengths as a Rolfer is that I am able to work on different levels with different
clients. Many people come to me because they have pain, in a shoulder, knee or neck,
for example. Others come to me wanting exercises to strengthen or stretch particular areas of their body or to
improve their performance in sports or other activities. Some clients have broader goals, such as improving
posture or gaining flexibility. Finally, some clients' goals have more to do with quality of life or emotional issues; they
are wanting to get more in touch with or feel more at home in their bodies,
or looking to free particular parts of their bodies in the hope of shifting emotional
patterns. I am happy to work with clients on any or all of these levels, responding to their own needs and agendas
and organizing sessions in ways that them get what they want out of the work.
