LINED VITALITY
Structural Integration
A year ago now, I encountered a knee injury that required surgery. After having the surgery, my body felt out of whack and I wanted to research ways that I could get my body feeling aligned and good again. I had heard about Rolfing before but wasn’t really sure what it entailed so I hopped online to do some research. I stumbled upon bodywork architectures website and was intrigued so I set up a complimentary consult with Rachel. As soon as I walked into the room and felt Rachel’s energy, I knew this was going to be the correct path for me and immediately felt very excited about this journey. Rachel answered all of my questions and never made me feel pressured into starting the series. We started right away and I was blown away at each session by Rachel’s knowledge, skills, and her ability to make me feel so comfortable. She has a very healing energy, and for me, that was just as important as the actual bodywork. It was a gift to have met Rachel and to have been able to go through the 10 series with her. My body feels like it’s MY body again.

I would highly recommend Rachel. Rachel brought me through a ten series of Structural Integration with each session being extremely beneficial for both my physical and mental being. One thing that made each of these sessions so special is that Rachel has a beautiful combination of compassion as a healer as well as having an exceptionally rich understanding of the human body. As each session got booked, Rachel clearly explained the session's intention and the focal point for that particular visit. My body has never felt more at home with less discomfort all around. After years of dancing, weight training and having a physically demanding job; my body now feels reset. Rachel knows what she is doing and you will be in good hands during each session with her.

Rolfing taught me what the body and mind can do once it has been opened and aligned. Series round two taught me how much deeper the fascia can be worked and the incredible effects I have noticed. My body craves movement in ways I have never felt before. At times I feel my body guilds itself on the movement it wants, to feel a natural release. I recently relocated out of state and can’t get a session nearly as often as I would like. But through listening to my body and keeping in touch with Rachel I feel I have been able to keep my progress up and I still see changes to my body. I always ask Rachel to give me my shoulders back when I have been without a session for too long.
This time through the series I really noticed improvement in my range of motion in my shoulders. Other changes I noticed were a change in increased arch in my feet, I can actually see the start of the famous “V” line above the hip I never had before. I even notice a difference in the way I laugh. With the opening of my chest I feel my laughs so much more now, deeper and more satisfying. I am blown away by how much more I fell in love with rolfing going through the same series a second time. It was completely different but still familiar at the same time.

Rachel is an absolutely amazing person and Rolfing practitioner. I'm thrilled with the results I get from our sessions. She has an infectious personality and an incredible outlook on life. I would highly recommend her to anyone !!

My experience with Rachel was like a combination of massage and chiropractic. I had the physical relief that good massage often brings and the long-term benefit that I’ve gotten from chiropractic adjustment. It’s a winning combination. I was a bit apprehensive about my first session, as I’ve had an unpleasant experience with Rolfing in the past. One of the first things Rachel did was to assure me that I would have different experience with her. She was right!
Rachel carefully explains what adjustments she will be making and how they will impact your body. She puts the current session into the context of the full 10 sessions, as well as telling you what she’ll be doing. I appreciated this element, though I’m sure some folks will be just as happy just having the work done. The session are pretty remarkable. Things “move around” in your body. I can compare it to the sound/feeling when a chiropractor adjusts your neck. You feel differently afterward. The massage element is … pretty wonderful. I always leave the sessions feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
As a result of this work, my posture is better, my sleep is better and my body feels more energized and “usable”. For someone in their sixties, this feels remarkable.

For over 7 years now, I have been struggling with not feeling right inside. Just crooked and so uncomfortable in my body, even after many treatments. I was referred by a great friend to Rachel and she understood me! Now, being 1/2 way thru the 10 series, I finally feel my body coming together and working together, like my legs, hips, feet and arms. It’s hard to put into words. When your body is feeling like all parts are not working against each other; pure happiness.’
