About Me
I am a Certified Rolfing® practitioner in Oakland, CA, certified by the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, CO (the sole certifying agency in the U.S.). Governed by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, Certified Rolfers have extensive training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and therapeutic relationship. I have experience as a physical therapy aide and have worked as a massage therapist for many years. I hold a B.S. in Kinesiology from San Francisco State University. I attend continuing education classes on a regular basis in order to keep refing my Structural Integration skills.
I have always been drawn to athletic skill and movement. For the past 13 years this passion has been in the Martial Arts (Wingchun and Escrima) as a student and an instructor. Some time ago, I injured my hip and decided to seek treatment with Rolfing®. That was how I met Advanced Rolfer Art Riggs. After my successful rehabilitation, I was so impressed with the results that I decided to study Rolfing myself. I look forward to merge my passion of movement, bodywork, learning, and holistic health to help people just like you.
