I am a Birmingham native. While completing a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at UAB, I received the Rolfing series in 2002 to help with my posture and long history of back pain. I was profoundly affected by it, and decided that I wanted to be able to give that experience to others by pursuing Rolfing as a career. After finishing, I decided to forgo graduate school and moved to Boulder, Colorado to attend the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration. After completing the training, I came back to Birmingham in October of 2005 and formed a practice.
