Rolfing is a holistic treatment that promotes self-healing. Named after its founder Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing is a healing art that can effectively relieve pain and discomfort, improve your posture, and catalyze personal transformation.
Rolfing helps the body release physical and emotional suffering so you can flourish in life, move without pain, and continue to grow with simplicity, intelligence, and grace.
This process aims to align, release, and restore your body.
Realigning bones and joints in the feet, legs and pelvis can create a feeling of being grounded and stable. As a result of this support, your spine is less likely to spasm or “go out.”
Releasing strains in the body makes it easier for you to breathe. Increasing the amount of oxygen that flows through your body brings more nourishment to your cells strengthening your immune system.
Craniosacral therapy may be used to release lesions that prohibit the flow of your cerebrospinal fluid. This release can cultivate a new awareness of your body.
Restoring order and function to muscle and nerves allows them to do the job that they were meant to do. This frees them from having to compensate for other muscles and nervous system functions that have become stressed, confused, overworked, or gone “off-line.”

“The pressure of my massage can be as strong as an elephant’s leg, but it can also be as soft as an angel’s robe brushing against one’s cheek — it just depends on the situation.” –Soken
Soken came to this work after completing 10 years of monastic training as a Buddhist monk. Upon graduating, his 105-year-old teacher suggested that Soken study Rolfing to make his way in the world as a monk. Soken started his Rolfing practice in San Francisco in 2009 and has been Rolfing in NYC since 2016.
Dr. Ida P. Rolf (May 19, 1896 – March 19, 1979) was the creator of Rolfing, Structural Integration. Dr. Rolf, biochemist, and medical researcher, continues to be recognized as a pioneer and leader in soft tissue manipulation and movement education.
