Rolfing vs Structural Integration

Jeffrey's practice is referred to as “structural integration,” which is the general term for Dr. Rolf’s work.  The words Rolfing, Rolfer and Rolf Institute are all service marks of The Rolf Institute of which Jeffrey is not a member.  Therefore, Jeffrey does not technically refer to his practice as Rolfing or his practice as being a Rolfer.

The Guild for Structural Integration

Dr. Rolf's original teachings have been passed down to many students including Emmett Hutchins and Peter Melchior who were Dr. Rolf's first two appointed teachers that went on to start the Guild for Structural Integration at the request of Dr Rolf.  Upon attending The Guild for Structural Integration, Jeffrey developed a close relationship with Emmett Hutchins both professionally and personally and moved to Kauai Hawaii in 2001 to be closer to Emmett, finding his style of structural integration to be in a class of its own.  

Training and Experience

Practitioner since 1998. On Kauai, Jeffrey did the original advanced training with both Emmett Hutchins and Peter Melchior in 2002 and again in 2004.  One of the biggest contributions to Jeffrey's work is having had over 60 sessions over the past 20 years with his teacher and mentor Emmett Hutchins.  It helped Jeffrey understand how Emmett thought and how he worked to get the kind of change he did. 

Jeffrey made it a point to visit and have sessions with as many highly-regarded Dr. Rolf trained practitioners as he could including: Emmett Hutchins, Peter Melchior, Andy Crow, Ron McComb, Jan Sultan, Harvery Ruderian, Jim Asher, Caroline Widmer, Ed Maupin, Ron Thompson, Neil Powers, Michael Salveson, Charles Siemers and more.
