Who am I?

I am a caring, sensitive, compassionate, skilled, and intuitive Rolfer with a background in Psychology, and a passion for helping people.

My Education

I graduated from the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado in 2004. Prior to that, I earned a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish from the University of Minnesota in 2001. I completed my Advanced Rolfing Certification in 2016, and I continue to further my training through continuing education, most recently with a nerve workshop in 2025.

How I found out about Rolfing® Structural Integration

My story of Rolfing SI is not necessarily one of profound healing from a specific physical pain (though I did have low-back pain from years of working as a server), rather it is one of personal growth and change.

I had just graduated from college and was experiencing what you would call a 'quarter-life-crisis'. Though I loved Psychology, I wasn't sure if I was up for the years of schooling it would require to become a Psychologist.  I once had the vision of doing one-on-one counseling, but the idea of negative energy being directed at me on a daily basis started to seem less and less appealing.

At the time, my sister was receiving Rolfing SI, after reading about it in the Yoga Journal. She mentioned to me that her Rolfer had a one year old son and was looking for someone to babysit him. I ended up babysitting in exchange for my first three sessions. Rolfing SI helped me discover just how disconnected I was from my body, physically, mentally, as well as emotionally. As my body became more organized and balanced, so did my mind, giving me greater clarity.

I fell in love with the work immediately and proceeded to pay for the rest of the series. About midway through the ten-series, I could envision myself doing this work. I remember my Rolfer saying to me as I was considering Rolfing SI as a career, "If you want to change, get Rolfing. If you really want to change, become a Rolfer". Within a year, I uprooted myself with my fiancé (now husband) and moved to Boulder, CO to pursue the training.

I moved back to Minnesota in 2005 to be close to family and friends and to eventually start a family. My practice began in St. Paul and moved to Hopkins in 2007 and later to Eden Prairie in 2018. I bring to my practice my gentleness, compassion, and intuition to support and facilitate each individual's unique process. Outside of Rolfing SI, I enjoy photography, hiking, mosaic art, yoga, playing the guitar, and spending time with my husband and two girls.

What I Love about Rolfing SI and why I am passionate about it

Having been a Psychology major, I genuinely enjoy helping people feel better. I love that Rolfing SI is a holistic approach to healing. It not only affects the physical body, it also impacts the mental and emotional body. There is an adage that the "issues lie in the tissues". As we uncover the core layer of tissues, healing of deeply rooted patterns can occur. I find this aspect of Rolfing SI particularly fascinating. I also love that Rolfing SI is goal-oriented. There is an end in sight and change is possible. The results of this work are long-lasting and are truly transformational.  I would love to help support and facilitate your journey toward health, healing, and ease in your body.
