About Rolfing
What it is and how it works
What Rolfing does very well is to look at the overall body, seeing it as an integrated system, rather than focusing on just one area of current discomfort. It is in this way that we discover new (or perhaps old) levels of freedom and ease in the body, more than just relief from current pain.

What my Clients Think
He is a very down-to-earth, flexible healer with a great energy and is willing to work with me on prices since I am a student. This is an amazing thing for professional healers to do – offer affordable healing to those in need. I can’t wait to get my body worked-out!!. – Lauren
Douw is a magical and amazing healer. I have worked with him for several months; this process has really helped transform some ongoing issues with pain. I’ve experienced major problems with my knee, plus some really bad lower back spasms. Rolfing is super intense, but Douw is excellent about listening and can adjust anything he is doing if it is too much. It feels incredibly relieving and relaxing to have rolfing done, but most importantly, it helps to re-shape patterns in your body that cause chronic pain or recurring problems. – Christine
Good news! The infamously painful rolfing of the 1960’s has been replaced by a kinder, gentler, but no less intense approach. Thumbs still ply forearms and elnows press thighs tenaciously, but hands also hold the neck subtely, patiently couraging change. Pain? More like moments of brief almost delicious intensity leading to release. – Susan
