I was a naval officer for 10 years, managing large telecommunications systems. Systems management turned out to be a wonderful background for Rolfing Structural Integration, as human beings are indeed complex systems and more interesting than computers.
Rolfing, discovered while looking for a way to improve my Tae Kwon Do practice, is privileged work. Helping people recover and discover themselves in comfortable, fluid movement, feeling like whole people instead of an assortment of grumpy parts, is tremendously rewarding. I'm grateful for clients who trust me to go on this journey with them.
Rolfers are educated guides in a process-oriented journey. Attending continuing education to expand knowledge and technique tool-box is essential; there is always more to learn! Here's my current list of completed courses.
