Rolfing

The main form of bodywork I practice is called Rolfing®.

Rolfing® was created by Ida Rolf, in the 1930’s. It is a hands on therapy and movement education that address the body’s structural integration.

Ida Rolf stated, Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created.

Our bodies are brilliant compensating machines that can endure years of inefficient organization before it will give signals of disharmony. It is important to strive for optimal posture to prevent unnecessary stress on our bodies. This is important for conserving energy and living a vibrant, healthy life.

Rolfing® involves a combination of slow, applied pressure, and gentle movements. Optimal structural integration is best achieved by the accumulative progress of multiple sessions.

Clients may choose the classic Rolfing® 10 series or a tailored series.

“I trained with Nikki for three years, not only was I in the best shape in my life but she was also amazing at bodywork and helped to keep the stress my body accumulated in check. She is irreplaceable. Over the years I have met many wonderful trainers but none like her who combined such an eclectic repertoire of exercises from kettle bells to pilates and yoga along with skills in Rolfing® and massage. If only Nikki had stayed in New York! My friends and I truly miss her!”
