My Bio
I am a Birmingham native. While completing a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at UAB, I received the Rolfing series to help with my posture and long history of back pain. I was profoundly affected by it, and decided that I wanted to be able to give that experience to others by pursuing Rolfing as a career. After finishing, I decided to forgo graduate school and moved to Boulder, Colorado to attend the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration. After completing the training, I came back to Birmingham in October of 2005 and formed a practice.
"To stand upright is to work against gravity, and if this resistance to the pull of gravity is defined as the force of life, it can be said that those who expend the least amount of effort in holding a vertical posture have the greatest potential to direct their life energies toward some other activity."
-- Shizuto Masunanga
From the book Zen Imagery Exercises“Rolfers make a life study of relating bodies and their fields to the earth and its gravity field, and we so organize the body that the gravity field can reinforce the body’s energy field. This is our primary concept.”
-- Dr. Ida P. Rolf
