About Stephanie

I am Nanaimo's only Certified Rolfer™. I graduated from The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado in June of 2015. 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.

"Rolfers make a life study of relating bodies and their fields to the earth and its gravity field, and we so organize the body that the gravity field can reinforce the body's energy field. This is our primary concept."
Dr. Ida Rolf (Ida Rolf Talks About Rolfing and Physical Reality)

"Stephanie - I feel very fortunate to have had you as my Rolfer. You are very good at what you do. You have changed my life - Thank you."
