Robyn's intuition, skill and compassion all come through in her work which was amazingly helpful to me. Robyn worked on me when I was in pain from a reoccurring lower back problem. The session not only relieved the pain and discomfort completely, it also helped me to be more connected and aware of my body and how I hold myself.

I have received many different types of bodywork over the past several years. As a practitioner Robyn really stands out in several ways. First of all, she is extremely present with you and you can feel that she really genuinely cares. Secondly, she has a high level of precision and skill which I could feel through out the sessions and with the lasting relief of my lower back pain which still has not returned.

I originally had pain in my right shoulder, it increased to the point of not being able to rotate my arm behind my body or lift my arm higher than my shoulder.  Visits to the doctor, physical therapy, and chiropractic services reduced but did not eliminate the pain and the pain had by then spread to my left shoulder. At this point, I tried cortisone shots with no lasting success.
I was starting to feel that the pain would never go away. During a session with an acupuncturist, she recommended I contact Robyn and see if Rolfing would improve my shoulders.  I completed the 10 sessions with Robyn this October.  Each session focused on a different part of my body, with deep massage.  My shoulder mobility has increased dramatically and my pain level is below a "one" most days. I am sleeping the entire night without awakening in pain and I am back at yoga (with much better balance).  The changes while subtle each session accumulated over the 10 sessions and were amazing.  In additional to the shoulder healing, I feel my balance is better and that I walk with more ease.

Losing three inches to bad posture was a shock. With no standard treatment that could guarantee a correction, Rolfing has been instrumental. I was unaware that Rolfing not only helps you to gain better posture and sensitivity of yourself, it teaches you and your body to restore their natural state of balance and grace. The learning is both conscious and unconscious.

I've noticed that many of my bad posture practices have disappeared on their own. Robyn's skill has surpassed anything I could have hoped for from standard medicine or chiropractic services. She has managed to move fascia and muscle back to their natural locations, allowing me to freely traverse in a easy natural rhythm. After just the standard ten session treatments, I've gained almost an inch of my height back. Thank you Robyn.

I have been seeing Robyn for Rolfing sessions for over two years.  She is a very warm, interesting person to talk with, and I am always rather surprised that the 1 1/2 hours are over so soon. 
 
I can honestly say that every session has resulted in a positive outcome of some type:
  Easier movement when walking
  Greater flexibility when turning my head
  Reduction of the pain from an aching joint
 
For me the greatest benefit has been the improvement in my posture, which I believe is at the core of Rolfing.  I have had quite a few people remark that I seem to stand straighter and look less hunched.  The best concrete example I can give is that my head and neck were hunched so far forward that I had to ask my dentist to put a pillow between my head and the head rest, but now I can say, "I don't need the pillow anymore".

An intuitive and compassionate bodyworker, Robyn offers a unique blend of subtlety and strength. Her hands have a way of finding and activating just the right triggers for relaxation, release and healing. She takes the time to listen to a person and their body, assessing the approaches best suited to that person's needs. Rolfing with Robyn is a multi-layered experience that provides immediate release as well as long-term benefits on the physical and energetic levels.

~Paola B., Professional Dancer & Movement Educator  

I have been an instructor of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong for over 30 years. I’ve taken classes in yoga, Pilates, gyrokenesis and lifted weights at a gym for many years. These classes as well as regular Thai massages have kept me mobile and going for over 72 years.

Always curious and interested in wellness and wellbeing I committed to Rolfing’s Ten-Series with Robyn. 
Because of being over enthusiastic in sports in my younger years, I have torn my anterior cruciate ligament in both my knees and have seriously sprained my left ankle. My specific areas that I wanted to address with the Rolfing were my knees and left ankle as well as my posture. 

During the Rolfing Ten-Series, I learned how plastic and malleable the body was and how Robyn was able to manipulate the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to align parts of my body. Robyn was continuously assessing how the manipulation was working and would have me get off the table for a look-see and then have me back on the table for more adjustment and alignment work.

After completing the Rolfing Ten-Series, I am happy to report that all my primary concerns were addressed and more. My knees and ankle are more flexible and I have more mobility. My posture is straighter and I feel lighter and more grounded.  Furthermore, I have a new friend and healer, Robyn, who knows so much about how the body works and how to manipulate it to bring about body alignment and integration for good health, wellness and wellbeing. I am fortunate to be so blessed to have found her. I am looking forward to additional sessions with her.

As I was walking, I was observing something that I had learned from our sessions and reflecting on how life-changing the experience of the 10-Series truly was. What surprised me was how much of what had shifted in my body was on the energetic level, beyond the physical changes that were occurring. One of the biggest pieces came from the way in which you spoke about where I lead from while you had me walking during our sessions and how it drew my attention to unconscious patterns. Now while I'm walking, I notice how if I consciously change my attention of where I am leading from, my entire position shifts to allow me to lead from that different place. And it was such a profound shift that happened in one of our last sessions, so it was almost like it brought together all of the work in the prior sessions. I also notice that my neck hasn't gone out since our work together and that was something that had plagued me for well over a decade, so I know that what you did was incredibly impactful to help that situation to change. I just wanted to acknowledge your talent and skill and the genuine gift that you have and the gift that you gave me working with you.
