Integrative

Bodywork

My Mission is to assist your structural body into higher order, so with new length, new lift, and a fuller breath, you may enjoy inherent freedom within.

Inspired by Ida Rolf’s tradition and Recipe, Integrative Bodywork is a process of re-MIND-ing the BODY.

About Me

My practice formally began in 2019. Before that, having read Ida Rolf’s “Rolfing” and having been impacted by a diverse group of healers around the world, I was intrigued early on by the layers of precision with which one could get to know their own body, and maybe another’s.

I am certified in Structural Integration with Anatomy Trains (ATSI), and owe a great deal of credit to Ida for that initial spark; to my Anatomy Trains teachers, Julie Hammond, Tom Myers, and Wjotek Cackoski, to my Rolfing teachers, Steve Nipper and Bradon Planty, and to a host of other teachers, friends, and animals.

I am open to all paths and modalities which lead us towards a unifying system. This work, this fascial work specifically, continues to heal me, inspire me, and make every day interesting.

I am also certified as a therapist in Zenthai Shiatsu. Although I do not treat in the Zenthai style, its heart-based approach continues in my work. It humbles the practitioner in me that tries to offer language to being a physical, dense thing in an infinitely surprising, uplifting world.

I live in my hometown of Ojai California with my wife Rosie and daughter Atticus.
