“Gravity is the therapist”

- Dr. Rolf

About Olaf

After years of searching to no avail, for a massage therapist who could get to the root of my physical discomfort, my best friend referred me to try Rolf Structural Integration. My first session had lifted so much weight off, my body I felt like I was floating with effortless movement as I left his office. In one session I had advanced lightyears beyond the physical pain and discomfort I had come in with. I continued to go monthly for a couple years until I had reached a point where it had not only completely transformed my body, I also experienced psychic and spiritual realignment through the sessions.

Philosophy

"Body and mind are two sides of the same coin, and so the results of working with the body reach into the emotional, behavioral, even spiritual life of the individual."

-Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

Change is not limited to the body in part because the physical condition is a manifestation of the subtle thoughts and feelings that influence the posture. These attitudes subsequently crystalize in the form of the typical spectrum of physical patterns that are formed in a person’s lifetime. These patterns can all be cleared out while the nervous system is also re-educated to learn healthy movement.

My initial training took place at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork, with advanced training at the European Rolf Guild. In addition to formal training I have spent countless hours in continuing education with some of the best Structural Integrators and Osteopaths in the world. I believe in diligent study of technical skills and knowledge, as they are the tools that serve the intuition.
