Background

In practice since 1974, I am a Rolfer and chiropractor. Additional focuses in my practice are cranial and visceral manipulation, and the treatment of pelvic floor imbalance. All of the systems which I utilize in my practice are manual therapies: I use my hands as my main treatment modality. The therapies I utilize work with and through different fascial/connective tissue networks: myofascial, cranial, visceral/organ, and joint. All operate on the principle that balanced, integrated structure leads to balanced, integrated function, and on all levels---physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. I work with people who don't feel good and with people who feel fine. I work with people whose primary issues are physical and I work with people whose primary issues are emotional.
