About Stephanie
|
I am Nanaimo's only Certified Advanced Rolfer™. I graduated from The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (Now the Doctor Ida Rolf Institute) in Boulder, Colorado in June of 2015, and I completed my Advanced Training in Germany in May of 2023. I am also a certified yoga instructor - a great combination for understanding how bodies move and function.
I graduated from UVic with a B.Comm and worked for the government for 5 years but found that it wasn't fulfilling enough working with paper: I wanted to work with people. I have always been interested in alternative therapies and helping people, and so I decided to pursue something in that field. But what? I contemplated several options (naturopathy, nutritionist, chiropractor...) and finally found what I was looking for. I first was introduced to Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) when a Rolfer successfully treated my grandmother's lockjaw - a problem that conventional medicine said needed surgery to fix! My own Rolfing experience happened after bunion surgery: my toe was going numb, tingling, and turning purple whenever I would walk, run, or ride a bike. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to help. Three sessions of Rolfing and the issue was gone for good; and I had found my calling. I understand how debilitating an injury or surgery can be, and am thrilled to be able to help people on their journeys of healing and wellness. Wondering where else you may have seen me? I am also involved in Nanaimo's Theatre scene, so you may have seen me on stage somewhere. |
