MIKE - certified rolfer
The work you did was serious yet light hearted and you developed the proper amount of touch to really feel into what was happening with my body. I immediately felt my body opening up and moving in more natural patterns. I experienced something happening in every part of my body head to toe. But there were 2 things that are most noteworthy and I will always remember.
The first with was my ankles. With my history of sprains in martial arts dating over 15 years, I have had limitations there for many years. Realigning bones within the feet and having improved articulation at the ankle joint changed the way I not only walk but bike several times a week. My right leg no longer hits the bike frame when climbing. This in turn gives me a very balanced support from the ground up.
Then there was the third Rolf Movement session where I mentioned I have great balance but lose it when my eyes are shut. Every time. Your decision was to have me do movement blindfolded. The cues in the parking lot of how to move were spot on and felt like a missing link was now reconnected. The balance in my body has changed now that it has been 5 months (to the date tomorrow!) is the greatest it has ever been. I feel stronger, fitter, and have more confidence than I ever have had.
Sometimes people might be on the fence about treating a movement issue or any other inefficiency that they have been unable to figure out. If this is ever the case, please show them my testimonial and see if it makes sense to them. This has been a life-changing experience and I want others to know they can be free to move how they want if they let you show them.
Thank you again for a wonderful series.
CARMINE - AIKIDO INSTRUCTOR
When I went for a scarwork session with Aaron, I didn't know what to expect. The sensation was very relaxing, and I felt like I was meditating while he worked.
I had 3 abdominal surgery in 2013, and was left with skin and underlying tissue damage. In 2014, the damage was surgically repaired, using artificial fascia. Post surgery I experienced internal and external tightness and general discomfort.
When I touched my abdomen right after Aaron worked on me, it felt like it did before all the surgeries. I felt like me again. 2 months later the positive changes remain.

I have had several rolfing sessions with Aaron. I cannot wait to go back to him for more rolfing. I feel fantastic when I come out from the session and continue to feel great for quite some time. Aaron is a wonderful person and caring professional. He will make you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole session. He will answer your questions and give recommendations if needed.

Aaron does great work! I've done some sessions with him and I'm looking forward to doing more. I teach yoga and have already recommended some of my students to work with Aaron. I definitely recommend Aaron for anyone looking for quality Rolfing/structural integration.

GLENN - BUSINESSMAN AND SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER
Having some knowledge of the health and wellness world, having partaken in meditation, massage, yoga (both Hot and standard(?)) I found the discipline of Rolfing quite intriguing.
For starters, lets take my first slightly under qualified question, that being "Explain to me how Rolfing is different than massage?"
Business owner and Certified Rolfer Aaron stated "we are taught to "see" what body segment is malfunctioning or not functioning optimally in a human being as a structure". "That's why it is called "structural integration". "We are taught to "listen" with our hands and out which areas of the body are holding tension or which are not functioning properly."
This made complete sense as once we began discussing my few problematic areas, specifically my right shoulder, the pulling and stretching that was put upon me had a calming effect both on my shoulder but then on and across my body.
It was as if the movements were encouraging my body to operate in a more functional, more optimal manner as if maximizing the potential of my elasticity.
A massage to me is where the Masseuse massages all over with no real specific "road map", pressing down between the muscles, an initial feeling I do not enjoy.
I noticed that Aaron did not do kneading or hard pressing nor repeated stroking of any kind, it felt as though everything was directed on lengthening.
After the session, I felt light, I felt loose, limber and youthful -- as if I had new energy resrves for a little game of basketball. And I did and I did.

Aaron is a complete professional who really knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone needing this type of treatment. He was extremely compassionate and effective He gets a ten out of ten.

I recently had an appointment with Aaron to work on issues with my lower back and left knee and got great results. I also mentioned an old abdominal scar which bothered me and which Aaron knew how to work on--and within minutes I felt a major lessening of the scarring. He performed feather-like motions that made such an obvious change that I thought he should really consider specializing in scar reduction because so many people have nasty surgical scars, along with other wounds. The movements were gentle but effective, and the change in the appearance of the scar was undeniable.
MAGGIE - DOULA AND WOMANS’ GROUP LEADER
I recently finished a 10 series of Rolfing with Aaron and I have been amazed at the positive changes in my body over the course of these past weeks. I came in with serious pain levels in my neck, back, and shoulders and I wasn't sure how helpful the bodywork would be since I had been in pain for months. My doubts were quickly dispelled as after each session the pain was always significantly less. The sessions build upon each other and I felt guided through a complete resetting of my musculature and nervous system. My neck and shoulders are now pain free!
I enjoyed working with Aaron because he's skillful and knowledgeable about his work, but also because he's smart, funny and humble. We laughed a lot during each session which for me was a big part of the healing process. He knows when to go deeply into the muscles and when to use a more soothing and balancing approach. I am so grateful to have done this 10 series with Aaron. Thank you!
When I started the 10 series with Aaron I was in a lot of constant pain. The Rolfing that we did was so helpful in relieving that pain, and it also made me realize how much I was ignoring my body. Committing to the 10 series and starting that work with Aaron was the impetus that I needed to take a hard look at how I was treating my body. It allowed me to seek out the help I needed to make changes in my self-care routines with things like supplements, diet changes, exercise and sleep habits. Aaron was encouraging and had helpful suggestions the whole way. It's been an amazing healing time!
