West Seattle Rolfing

Jeanne has gotten me back to feeling like myself in my body. Of all the body work I have done this by far has given me the best results. There were days I walked out of there feeling immediate changes… which were lasting. It was worth EVERY cent!

Jeanne is a magician! Really, she is a body and mind magician! I am beyond grateful that I stumbled upon her and her practice as it is has impacted my life and well being 10 fold. I am a much healthier and a more functioning person due to Jeanne’s influence on my life and I am incredibly grateful to be on this journey with her. I look forward to many more great sessions and lessons!
Massage, yoga, pilates are all great for the mind, body connection but rolfing is the missing link to bring them all together. As Jeanne has cleared more and more stuck fascia, I am able to do more and more, at my workouts and in life in general.
Feeling sluggish, feeling like you should be moving better, feeling tight in places you haven’t felt it before? See Jeanne, she will get you on the road to recovery, very quickly.

Jeanne is an amazing teacher. I refer to her as a teacher because she taught me how to really understand my body and how to hear what it is telling me. I found rolfing online after researching treatments for headaches, neck pain, and back pain. I was in an automobile accident over a year ago. My chiropractor and massage therapist were great treatments but they only would last 1 – 2 weeks before the pain was back. Rolfing is about reteaching your body how it’s supposed to function. Jeanne doesn’t treat you. You work together to achieve your goals of getting your body back to a place of healthy. I was able to pay per visit and did all 10 sessions. She listened and I really felt like she addressed any concerns I had during my sessions. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment. There’s no pressure to commit. But once you go in once, you’ll want to go back.

The Unilocal page labels Rolfing as «pricey,» but I think it was a bargain. In the standard 10 sessions, Jeanne and I achieved something years of massage and chiropractic hadn’t managed to do: Fewer headaches without ongoing treatments!!! As Jeanne stressed in our sessions together, everything is related and the side effects of feeling better are continuing to have their positive effects on me.
Overall, Rolfing was a great experience for me. Jeanne is a practitioner who has extremely high expectations for herself. She is not only perceptive, but intuitive as well and was able to zero in on a few things that were causing daily aches and pains. She let me ask a million questions, helped me learn new ways of listening to my body and helped me brush up on my anatomy in the process. Jeanne brought my awareness to lots of little places where I hold tension including the right side of my jaw and the muscles associated with the eyes, both of which were partially to blame (along with my posture) for the daily headaches I was getting. Now when I feel a headache coming on, I can practically make it disappear with the techniques Jeanne showed me.
I feel awesome! Thanks Jeanne!

One of my doctor friends had suggested Rolfing might help my chronically bad posture. I went to Jeanne, whom I did not know at all, and was very relieved to find her easy to talk to and very professional. She suggested a set of ten sessions, which is standard in Rolfing, I now know, and it was much better in terms of pain than I thought it would be. All of the movements were very slow and gradual, and each session focused on a different part of the body. the most impressive thing was how it «opened up» parts of my body, particularly my shoulders. My range of motion greatly increased: I was pleasantly surprised! It’s now been a month since I finished, and my body feels pretty much pain-​free, as compared to the aches and pains I experienced beforehand. I am definitely glad I tried it, and also glad that I went to this particular Rolfer.

I had never tried Rolfing before, and tried it because I am friends with the proprietor of West Seattle Rolfing. I am so glad that I tried it!
I had surgery on one of my feet and found the whole experience to be really painful and the recovery process difficult. So when I started down the same road with the other foot I was desperate to make surgery the final option. With the help of West Seattle Rolfing I was able to increase flexibility throughout my body, decrease pain, and wear flat shoes without special orthopedics. I think that is an amazing win!
Now for some of you who might be like me and wonder what Rolfing is, well it is complicated to describe. However, for me it feels like massage mixed with physical therapy. I particularly like how as a client I got to work with the practitioner throughout each session to help heal my body. I felt like I had control and a voice in my care, and the practitioner really strived to listen and hear my needs. I’d highly recommend this service.
