Rolf Structural Integration
Rolf Structural Integration (often called Rolfing®) is a holistic approach to body alignment and movement efficiency developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf in the mid-20th century. It focuses on reorganizing the body's connective tissues (fascia) to improve posture, balance, and overall well-being.
How it works:
Fascial Manipulation
Rolfing works primarily with the fascia (the web-like connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs).
Over time, fascia can become tight or misaligned due to injury, stress, or poor movement habits, leading to pain and restricted movement.
Gravity and Posture
Dr. Rolf believed that the body functions best when aligned with gravity.
Misalignment can cause strain, leading to chronic pain and fatigue.
The 10-Series
Traditional Rolfing consists of 10 structured sessions, each targeting different body areas to systematically release tension and realign the body.
The series progresses from superficial layers to deeper structural changes.
Rolf Structural Integration is a powerful method for those seeking lasting changes in posture, movement, and pain relief. If you're curious, consulting a certified Rolfer can help determine if it’s the right treatment for you.

What is the Body Deva?
Mary Mueller Shutan is a well-known spiritual teacher, author, and practitioner specializing in energy work, Chinese medicine, and somatic therapies. One of her notable contributions is the concept of "Body Deva" work, which is explored in her book The Body Deva: Working with the Spiritual Consciousness of the Body.
Since 2014 I have trained with Mary Shutan and attained certification in the Body Deva (Inner Child and Foundational Body Deva Certification) in 2024.
The Body Deva refers to the spiritual consciousness or intelligent energy that governs the physical body. The Body Deva is not just the physical body but an aware, responsive presence that communicates through sensations, emotions, and symptoms.
How Body Deva works:
Listening to the Body
Instead of overriding or suppressing symptoms, you learn how to dialogue with the body’s intelligence to understand imbalances.
Pain, illness, and discomfort are seen as messages from the Body Deva.
Energy Clearing & Embodiment
The work involves releasing stagnant energies (emotional, ancestral, or environmental) that disrupt the body’s natural harmony.
Integration of Spiritual & Physical Healing
Unlike approaches that separate mind, body, and spirit, Body Deva work sees them as interconnected.
Healing involves aligning with the body’s innate wisdom rather than forcing it into submission.
Practical Applications
Helps with chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune issues, and trauma.
Supports deeper embodiment and self-awareness.
Who Might Benefit?
People struggling with chronic illness or unexplained symptoms.
Those interested in somatic spirituality or deep embodiment.
