What is Rolf Structural Integration? 

Also called β€œRolfing,” this integrative method of bodywork is designed to help your body stand tall and move freely through hands-on soft tissue manipulation and movement re-education. 

About Sarah

Sarah’s bodywork study began over a decade ago in NYC, where she studied with Alexander Technique and Cranio-Sacral Therapy instructor Karen Coe, Bodyworker Tara Thompson, and Rolfer and Gyrotonic teacher Megan Frummer. Sarah completed her 500 hour Pilates Instructor Certification in 2023 studying under Robin Serwatka and her Pilates apprenticeship with Sydney Craig in Chattanooga, TN.

Sarah experienced her first Rolfing Ten Series while studying opera in NYC. It was a transformational experience that reshaped her voice and relieved years of vocal tension and strain. After 8 years of teaching voice, Sarah knew she wanted to learn more about body mechanics and the fascial system in order to help singers who, like her, had struggled for years with unwanted physical and vocal tension. Sarah’s training took her to the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in Colorado, where she trained in Rolf Structural Integration and the principles of Rolf Movement. She is now a Certified Rolfer in Nashville, TN. She specializes in working with singers and instrumentalists, helping performers find free and easy movement.

β€œI’ve been working with Sarah for a few months now and can already see drastic changes in my voice. She incorporates new techniques each lesson that help not only with my vocal strength and sound, but also with my breathing, posture and releasing body tension. She’s helped increase my knowledge level around breath and body work through her teaching, and has helped strengthen my speaking voice and singing voice.
