what is rolf/structural integration?

How to prepare for your Rolf SI treatment:

• Schedule a free 20 minute verbal consultation with me

(email @jennarae82@gmail.com) 

• Keep movement/exercise to a minimum before & after our session
• Arrive prepared with or wearing boxer briefs/gym shorts or a combination of bikini/underwear/sports bra, gym shorts/bikini top/ bra as we will be working together over the sheets, undraped and will begin, check-in and end with a body reading with me
• Avoid topical body moisturizers before sessions
• Pre-hydrate! This will make the work easier and more comfortable for both of us
• Arrive with food digested as some of the work is very abdominal specific
• Plan on moving and staying alert during our session. I will ask you to move your body in ways to emulate how you exist in gravity.
• Physical, mental, energetic and emotional releases can happen in the forms of crying, laughing, yelling, disassociation and more during our sessions. While I do my best to hold the space for my clients, I am aware that some folks express re-patterning in ways I have not experienced. The more you share with me before, during and after our session, the better.
• Take the rest of the day off if you can! I know this isn't always possible but if you can I suggest minimizing the intake of sensory stimulation
• You may be uncomfortable. In order to remind the body that it has options, we must introduce new patters of movement, of holding, even of thinking, relations to emotions and different ways to breathe. The newness can be uncomfortable! Do your best to stay with the discomfort as this is part of the work.
• Notice your intake of inflammatory foods, beverages and stimulants during the time of our work. If and when possible, take in what you know feels supportive to you and your being.

I cannot wait to work with you on your path of structural integration!

Sincerely,

Jenna Minnes
