About Rolfing:

Our human structure “lives” within a matrix of connective tissue. We are imbedded within these layers and too often “live” as if buried within them, somewhat blind, somewhat groping, longing for parole, for freedom of movement, sometimes for just a breath that is not caged. Rolfing releases the binding quality of these layers to mollify our inner wars as well as heal injured limbs, back and other chronic pain. Both the old and the new are subsumed in this healing path, everything is available for renewal. One re-emerges.

How does it proceed? The client's body and mind are invited to breath into each sensation as gentle, precise, experienced hands guide you through the layers and, simply with the intelligence and energy and curiosity already there as your basic goodness, you sift and lift through the layers that had become glued and twisted upon one another. The cocoon thaws, the cocoon sheds. You walk. You awaken.

Tom did both his initial and advanced classes with Ida, this most unique and daring pioneer of the healing arts. He has practiced Vajrayana Buddhism since 1971, as a student of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, and Shambhala Training since its introduction by him in 1976. For nine years Tom also studied Huichol Shamanism with Don Lupe in Mexico and Dagara Shamanism with Malidoma Some in Burkino Faso, Africa. He has taught in the states and abroad. The healing power of breath has been the river of rhythm that has run through Tom's life as a healer.
