Upright Rolfing

Kate is an incredibly gifted healer, with a great deal of knowledge about how the body works as well as incredible intuition and feel for her clients specific issues. I’m 6 sessions into the 10 series, and the transformation is remarkable. The pain relief that brought me to see her was addressed in 2 sessions, and from there I’ve seen dramatic improvements in all other areas– I seriously feel like I have a new body– and in some way that’s true; my body is learning new, more gentle and structurally sound movement. Kate really puts you at ease, with her gentleness and humour. She is also a queer and trans aware practitioner and provides a respectful and informed space.
I have been to countless massage and other bodywork practitioners and have not come close to experiencing this level of pain and muscle tension relief.
I can not recommend her enough!!!

Kate is awesome. I had never heard of rolfing until I stumbled upon this Unilocal page and saw Kate’s glowing reviews. If you have any sort of posture issues or chronic joint/​muscle pain, or just looking to feel like a brand new human, GO SEE HER

I have been truly lucky to have met Kate as a rolfer. In my profession everybody has chronic back problems and I have been living in the chiropractors’ and massage therapists’ offices for over a decade with not a very long-​lasting relief. Things have totally changed after I went through the first few sessions with Kate. She is skilled, knolwledgeable and a very warm person. A patient for life!

Kate is great! I had my first session with her today, and I feel like I have a new head, neck and shoulders. I feel taller, more fluid and balanced. As I sit here and I type this review it feels easy to sit up tall with an upright posture. Kate is very engaged in her work, and is present and curious. The session felt very much like a partnership between us, and I loved it!

Through the 10 series with Kate, I was able to rediscover running. Her work on my chest and lungs helped with my asthma, and her focus on my gait allowed me to discover running did not have to be painful — my goal was to lose some weight and run a 5K. Last month I completed a half-​marathon and lost 30 pounds — way beyond my initial goal. I really do think I was able to do this because of the way the 10 series transformed the way my body moves. Thank you, Kate!

Kate is a wonderful healer with a deep understanding of how to transform chronic pain. I feel like she understands how the body moves and works better than any other body worker I have ever seen. I have worked with Kate as a rolfer and also for one-​on-​one yoga instruction targeting my particular pain issues and both have been amazing experiences that really changed how I move in my body and reduced my pain. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pain from an injury, overwork or stress. Kate is also a queer and transgender aware practitioner who provides a welcoming and respectful space.

Kate practices with a sureness of hand and a twinkle in her eye. Her sensitive, joyful humor puts you right at ease.
I can’t say enough about her. I’m in less pain and have fewer «bad back days.»

I’ll admit, I had some misconceptions about rolfing before trying it out. Turns out it is not the painful experience that I had imagined!
I have been working with rehabilitating my ankle after a recent break & surgery. Kate’s gentle, yet deep approach to rolfing has helped me to find more motion in my ankle & flexibility in my foot. I can’t tell you how much this has improved my progress walking with a more normal gait!
I am a chiropractor & I send my patients to Kate Bradfield when they have persistent muscular of soft tissue issues.
Highly recommended! Many thanks to Kate for her skill, patience & kindness! Her space is also quite lovely. :)

I have been seeing Kate during m y last trimester and it has been transformative. I have chronic back issues and she has stabilized my low back while also working on the various aches and pains that pregnancy brings. At the end of each session, I feel straight, my pain is gone and I feel amazing. She does really great work on the neck as well. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially during pregnancy!
