The Rolf Method of Structural Integration
"We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves."- Norbert Wiener
Pioneered by Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Structural Integration began it's inception and development by IPR in the 1940s. Then later in the mid 1960s the Guild for Structural Integration was formed. The Rolf Method of SI, also called 'Rolfing", is a holistic system of sequential soft tissue manipulations combined with movement education and awareness coaching that organizes the entire body in gravity. Clients of the work experience dramatically improved structure, resiliency, function, balance, and integrity. It is not the aim of SI but a common result of it to ease pain. The Rolf Method addresses chronic stress, compression, scoliosis, movement/holding & compesation patterns, and improves performance in everyday activities and mood. Initial sessions are given in a 10-series recipe format, allowing the imprint of new information to form while eliminating inefficient patterning. Advanced sessions to maximize potential can be sought after the "basic blue print" is operational.

Testimonials
"I have been a Rolfing client since 1980. During that time I have undergone Rolfing or Structural Integration on a fairly regular basis, and have been Rolfed by a number of Rolfers in different parts of the United States. I have an extensive background in anatomy and physiology and martial arts all of which has given me an additional appreciation of the ability of Rolfing to positively affect the anatomy and function of the human body. I've been a client of Leesa Gray for the last several years on a very regular basis. Because of her innate capabilities and her extensive background in Rolfing, massage, and yoga she is extremely good at both the analysis of structural imbalances and the utilization of the Rolf Method technique to normalize both structure and function. I would rate her at the highest level and would recommend her without reservation to anyone who is interested in Rolfing."

Nutrition
Would you put macaroni and cheese in the gas tank of your car? Sounds like a silly question, but we have a point. Your body is a specimen of biological and evolutionary genius, and it can perform like a finely tuned machine if you pay attention. The misconception is that it is necessary to only eat boiled chicken and plain brown rice with boring broccoli to accomplish optimal health and that is false! Nutritionally rich foods and meals can be absolutely divine while delighting the palette and body. You don't have to do a detox juice cleanse for days to enhance proper muscular, intestinal, and brain function! Sign up for meal plans and meal prep, subscribe to our recipe and cooking blog, or hire one of our partner chefs to cater a phenomenal and inspiring meal for you and your guests.
