"I get a lot of massages that make me feel good for a day and sometimes up to a week, but never more than that. For this reason Rolfing was recommend to me. I was fortunate to have 10 series plus 3 movement sessions with Chris.
My goal, actually hope, was that Chris would be able to address the issues I was experiencing from a broken knee cap, bruised tailbone, and weak tendons in both legs; not to mention the tight muscles in my neck and shoulders. All these issues were addressed in massages, but never resolved.
Chris possesses some great skills for Rolfing but I think his greatest skill is the ability to listen to the body. I had been using my body in a frame with limited movement but he met my need for pressure to expand that framework. After each session I felt lighter from the tension Chris released from my body increasing my energy level. Chris has a magical touch that is both strong and gentle. I am now able to walk with ease, my arms have their natural swing again, and I now hold my head straight with ease as my shoulders no longer hold it up.
I am glad I decided to try Rolfing to improve my form and feel better. However, I am most grateful to have met Chris. He exceeded my expectations, and did an awesome job in resolving my issues. I now have a body that moves in a youthful way. I highly recommend Chris and know you will be as happy with him as I am."

"I'd never experienced Rolfing before working with Chris but I had tried sports massage, yoga, and acupuncture — none had helped me achieve the postural changes that I was hoping for. I stand at a desk all day long I was suffering from neck and shoulder pain.
After the 10 session series with Chris I noticed a substantial improvement in my posture which made a difference in every aspect of my daily activities. The neck pain that I had been experiencing prior to working with Chris was eliminated as a result of the postural improvements that the Rolfing work achieved.
I would highly recommend working with Chris for postural improvement and getting rid of pain as a result of repetative strain injuries. I also believe that my overall wellbeing benefitted as a result of my body being better aligned and more in sync."

"After being hit by a car while riding my bike, my body was more of a wreck than the actual accident itself. Each session with Chris changed the way I felt and moved in my body. I immediately went from being curious about Rolfing being able to work to solidly knowing that it did. Session six was one of my favorite sessions, which focused on the calves and feet. It was, as he said, “pain leaving the body.” A lot of pain left that day, but I also walked on my feet the right way without having to be deliberate for the first time in years. Ecstatic wasn’t even the word.
Chris has a really down-to-earth approach, anchored in his background and experiences with other healing modalities and alternative practices. He’s a talented and generous healer with a gift for understanding the body on multiple dimensions."

"Chris' Rolfing is deeply profound and intense work that is done with great care and respect for your comfort. I had been very hesitant to get very deep bodywork in areas of pain and chronic tension. I felt in control of my sessions and the work was paced appropriately for my body, which allowed us to work at a much deeper level than I was previously comfortable with. Following the Rolfing series, I experienced an improvement in my breathing, an increased ability to center and relax myself, and a greater level of comfort in my body. I highly recommend experiencing the ten series of Rolfing with Chris.
-Ginger, Age 32, massage therapist
I struggle calling Chris a massage therapist because that title doesn’t do him justice. He’s provided me transformative muscular therapy beyond any other “massage therapist”. This isn’t a feel good relaxing massage, rather let’s reset your body back to a neutral state.
I initially met Chris at a demo he gave at my CrossFit gym. Within the 15mins session he was able to release long term tension in an eye opening way. I had no idea how my body had become so desensitized to the dull aches, bad posture and muscle tightness. Immediately I knew I wanted to invest in his services. And I do mean invest. Unlike the typical massages I’ve had in the past I can genuinely feel long lasting benefits from each subsequent session.
His new-to-me therapy style of “Rolf”-ing is something I have been raving about to anyone that will listen. More people need to experience it and Chris is a phenomenal specialist. Not only is he great at his craft but he’s extremely easy to be around. Overall I’ve had a great experience and I’m excited to continue my Rolfing journey with him.
