What is Rolfing^®? 

The body is more at ease and functions most effectively when its structure is balanced in gravity. Rolfing structural integration is a whole body approach that works through hands-on manipulation and education to reduce gravity's adverse effects on the body. Injuries, accidents, stress, improper movement habits all contribute to how we move and feel in our body. And sometimes we call the aches and pains "aging", when in fact they are just a result of maladaptive patterns of movement. 

Rolfing seeks to unwind the chronic patterns of tension and strain that we have accumulated in the body over our lifetime by systematically lengthening, repositioning and integrating restricted fascia over a series of ten sessions. It leaves us feel more flexible, energetic and taller, while free us from tightness, tension, aches and pains. 

About Mary

Mary graduated from McGill University in 2008 with a Bachelor's degree in neuroscience. Her own neck and back problems from long hours of desk work led her to seek Rolfing treatment. The result from the treatment and the positive changes in her body were amazing. Her curiousity about the complexity of the human body and its potential for change, and the empowering experience she had convinced her that this would be worth dedicating her life pursuing.  She completed her training at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado, and in 2014 became a Certified Rolfer. She left her corporate job and moved back to China from Vancouver to practice Rolfer. She hopes to help people feel more flexible and comfortable in their body through Rolfing, and free them from chronic tension, aches and pains so that they can live life to the fullest potential. Mary speaks English and Chinese.
