WORKING WITH THE ENTIREbody as a whole
(rather than focusing on specific areas of tension
like in a massage) Rolfing restores the body to its
natural order. It uses gravity as its ally in finding
the ultimate postural alignment, leading to new,
healthier movement patterns and a greater sense
of ease and grace in everyday life.

A deeply integrative therapy, Rolfing invites the
participant’s awareness into the body, creating
a greater sense of ease and freedom, and
relief from the busy-ness of the mind. As this
happens, shifts in perception begin to occur—
resulting in relief from stress and anxiety, and
enhanced confidence and emotional expression.

Rolfing can be a deeply moving and
transformational experience for anyone seeking
to improve their body awareness or physical
performance—from yogis and athletes to
musicians and dancers. It can also be hugely
healing for anyone suffering from pain and
discomfort seeking to rediscover freedom and
ease in the body and mind.

“I choose Rolfing because it has been the
most effective way for me to get out of my
head, into my body and in touch with how I
am really feeling. As someone who tends to
go all in with my commitments during the
week, I find this work has been incredibly
helpful. I feel much more grounded,
integrated and resilient.” — Martha T

I had a few sessions with Celeste and they
were great. My body was very tense and
sore when I went to see her and I did not
seem to be able to let go and feel relaxed.
Through her expertise, Celeste slowly
re-balanced my body and I started to learn
a new way to relate to it. She knows
what she is doing and makes you feel
safe and relaxed. So relaxed in fact that I
fell asleep during one of her sessions.
Highly recommend her.” — Lola P

Together with yoga, Rolfing has ‘woken
up’ ‘dead’ parts of my body and released
deep tensions. Rolfing is both dramatic
and subtle in the way it balances and aligns
the body, sometimes with a sigh,
sometimes with a tear. The body can then
settle into its natural shapes and flows with
ease. I have also experienced stress
reduction as old tension was released. I did
the 10 sessions with Celeste. It became a
journey of discovery to see how my
posture changed in surprising ways. The
changes have lasted and even grown and I
feel like I’m growing younger and more
energetic. — Marc R

The body isn’t meant to be ‘fixed’, it’s meant to be freed.
