ROLFING® 
STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

What is it?

Rolfing SI is a  body-oriented method developed by Dr. Ida Rolf that enhances and eases body movements, restores postural balance and encourages a sense of physical well-being. It does this by aligning and integrating the structure of the body with the force of gravity.

Rolfing® will lead an individual to discover a more efficient posture, and how to feel 'centered' along a flexible and adaptable axis. Rolfing will enhance an easeful alignment and improve agility.

How does it work?

10 sessions
Rolfing uses connective tissue manipulation along with movement and perceptual coordination education to achieve results. The traditional process evolves within 10 sessions with your Rolfer, who works with you on a massage table. After the first intake of 110€, one Rolfing session of 95 Euro incl. VAT takes between 60 and 75 minutes. 

Movement sessions
Along with the ten sessions, there are also movement sessions, where you can more specifically address specific movement patterns or exercises which can benefit your personal needs. Movement sessions for 75 Euro incl. VAT take between 45 and 60 minutes. Movement sessions will be available soon.

 

who is it for?

  1. Wellbeing
    If you look for long-term improvements in order to generate a serene reorganisation of the body and mind, if you seek for having more energy in daily life, Rolfing sessions enhance flexibility, mobility and promote physical balance.

  2. Letting go of habits
    Our bodies reflect our stories, traumas, view of the world, cultural and physical habits. By using the Rolfing method, we can overcome our limitations. Our perception of the world becomes more holistic and we feel more confident and connected.

  3. Chronic pain
    If you suffer from chronic pain, long term injuries or postural issues, Rolfing is a very good tool to help the body reorganise. Long term chronic issues can be resolved. Positive outcomes have shown with neck- and back problems, sciatica, RSI, plantar fasciitis, migraine, shin splints, fibromyalgia, to mention a few. The body becomes lighter, calmer and balanced in its posture.


About your practitioner

Since beginning my dance and movement studies I have been intrigued with underlying movement patterns, dance&health, which brought me to Rolfing. Rolfing SI did not only support my physical wellbeing and growth in my artistic process, it also helped me as a human. Now I want to contribute to the wellbeing of the human community.
During my further trainings within the Rolfing field I specialised in Somatic Experiencing, Scar Work (by Sharon Wheeler), and Source Point. In my treatments I like to include this knowledge and resource upon these approaches as well. I am happy to help anyone who wants to improve their performance, as well as people with strain like recovering mothers, people with fatigue or chronic pain seeking for support.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

‘I have rarely met a practitioner that is so focused and yet open and welcoming. Anastasia listens and explores together with you and as such she easily creates positive energy that allows to transform. I have felt the long term benefits her treatments have given me and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to be treated by her. I can recommend to anyone interested in Rolfing to seek her out and try for themselves.’ Jasper

‘Anastasia is amazing. She listens at a deep level to your body, and knows what it needs for excessive tension to be relaxed. She helped me with many complaints where regular science (physiotherapy, a general practitioner) couldn't relieve my physical complaints.
As a professional dancer, I know my body very well. Its such a relieve to work with someone that believes in power sharing in the healing process. And draws upon the knowledge I have of my body.’ Marloes

‘Very impressed with the work of Anastasia! I recently finished the full 10-sessions of Rolfing and I see and feel great changes in my body: very aligned, connected and grounded. Anastasia has a great talent of using her knowledge and intuition at the same time, in a safe and caring atmosphere. I felt comfortable and relaxed during all sessions. I definitely recommend her!’ Sanne
