Inspiration to train in Rolfing®

“Right from the beginning, I was impressed with the work and the approach of Rolfers, particularly the way Rolfers think in large-scale contexts and deal with the physical fundamentals such as gravity, tension, leverage, etc. I was familiar with these concepts already of course from my previous work as an engineer. However, applying these abilities to the human body really opened up a whole new world for me.

Our body perception can significantly influence our posture, our movements, our emotions and therefore, our entire presence and well-being. The Rolfing experience and the conscious sensing of the body immediately struck me and still inspires me to this day.

Being able to support people, to help them find a better relationship with themselves, to feel at home in their own bodies and to take their feelings seriously… This makes me happy and really drives me. It is so good to see the changes and developments in my clients and to see this reflected in their happy faces.”

Teaching Method

“It is all about relationships…. It is about setting segments of the body and tissues in relation to each other. It is also about establishing that open and trusting relationship with others.

To become a good Rolfer, you need to balance a strong intuition with a sharp mind… and to really care about people and want to support them.”
