About Rolfing®
How can I help you? Initial Assessment
If you would like to experience Rolfing® or just want a bit more information about it please do get in touch via the contact page to request a free preliminary meeting and assessment.
You can tell me a little bit about your history and what you are seeking from Rolfing® and I can assess if I think I will be able to help you. I now conduct these initial meetings via Zoom or Skype (or over the phone if you prefer), we will need about 20 minutes or so.
Following this meeting we can book Session 1 of the Ten Series
Session 1
At the start of Session 1 some basic movements like standing, sitting, walking and raising the arms help me get to know your individual movement patterns. The rest of the session will be a mixture of hands-on manipulation and guided movements we call ‘tracking’. The theme of this first session is freeing the breath and we aim to evoke a feeling of lightness and ease.
A single session can be of interest as a free-standing event and give you a feel for what Rolfing® is about, but the full benefit of the work is achieved by doing the 10 series. After completing this first session see how you feel and ask any questions you may have before going on to do the full series, or you can start with just the ‘sleeve’ sessions 1,2,3.
Sessions are usually scheduled between 1 and 3 weeks apart but some clients complete the series over shorter or longer time frame.
What to wear?
Please wear suitable underwear for your session. For men reasonably well-fitting trunks or briefs are best. For women comfortable and simple is good, avoid underwired bras and ‘racer-back’ styles if possible. Very tight, elastic ‘shape wear’ type garments are almost impossible for me to work through so please don’t wear them!
Booking, Fees and Payments
Rolfing is £90 per session (60-75 minutes)

I offer a limited number of donation sessions each month where clients pay what they can on the day, if you genuinely need this option please ask.
All sessions must be booked and confirmed in advance. 48 hours cancellation of full fee will be charged. See below for exception.
Covid – 19
In the event of your experiencing covid symptoms or coming into contact with someone with the virus please cancel your session promptly and no fees will apply. Likewise, I will do the same.
Tiverton Rolfing Room
Tiverton Rolfing Room is my studio at Raymond Penny House. The studio is on the 2nd floor of a Georgian building up several flights of stairs. The view is lovely from up there but if the stairs will be a problem for you please let me know as it is sometimes possible to book an alternative space on the ground floor.
