A fall in 2002 left me with a compression fracture in my 2nd thoracic vertebrae.  My adventurous lifestyle changed and I was told that I should no longer white-water kayak, backpack, or run.  I wouldn’t accept that future.  In 2006, Rolf Method of Structural Integration (SI) happened into my life.  During my first session, I found SI to be quite different than other bodywork modalities I had experienced.  I felt like I was working towards a better me…improving more than just my back injury.  My whole body was waking up.  As I continued through the series, I could stand taller without effort, my movements felt more fluid and effortless, and my life just felt easier.
