I began my journey in bodywork as most people do, with an injury. After years of being a competitive cross country skier, mountain runner and soccer player, I had a knee injury that just didn’t get better, even though I was working in a physical rehab setting at the time. I had done all the stretches and exercises, and even had surgery, but still I had knee pain and weakness. Finally, I found Rolfing, and after just two sessions, I was back in action. I continued the full series of ten sessions because I just loved discovering how good I could feel. A few months after that, I was in my car, driving from Anchorage to Boulder to study at the Rolf Institute (now Dr Ida Rolf Institute). I enjoy sharing this work, and have studied broadly so that I can bring a range of skills to help people heal.

I became a Certified Advanced Rolfer, Rolf Movement Practitioner, and Board Certified Structural Integrator. I served on the DIRI faculty from 2005-2017. During those years I learned from master teachers and practitioners. I particularly enjoy teaching from a place of curiosity and affirmation. Prior to embarking on the field of structural integration, I was a scientist and technical writer. You can read some of my articles and thoughts in the links below.

In addition, I have studied the fascial systems of the viscera (organs), the nerves and the cranium in order to include these structures in the work. This allows me to work sensitively with the body’s nervous system and allow the work to permeate deeply and to be, thereby, integrated into everyday life.

I have also been a SourcePoint Therapy practitioner since 2008. SourcePoint Therapy facilitates all my work. SourcePoint helps by facilitating an assessment of the main events for each session and integrating the work very quickly, enabling greater function with every intervention.

Currently, I am living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, because the mountains have called my family to come ski. I have also lived and practiced in Anchorage, AK, Boulder, CO and Middlebury, VT.
