		<description><![CDATA[This work has been life-changing for me &#8211; when I first started getting Rolfed 10 years ago on my daughter&#8217;s suggestion, I had constant pain and a lot of concerns over the progression of my scoliosis, which is somewhat severe. My chronic pain went away within the first few sessions and the flareups I would [...]]]></description>

Sometimes after a dramatic session, they will come back for the next one and tell me that a funny thing has happened in their life&#8230; They will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When clients ask me whether their problems are just part of getting older I reply that my guess is that the problems we associate with getting older are perhaps 40% due to physiological changes and that 60% are due to the accumulation of years of compensations, binding and habitual use patterns. In my opinion, this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I began thinking of how I wanted to open this journal, I came across some notes from an experience I had with my daughter's 5th grade class. Her teacher had decided to build a walking labyrinth in the garden of our Waldorf charter school. We went on a field trip to Grace Cathedral in San Francisco to walk its labyrinth, which was a replica of the famous labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France. I had an image of it as a kind of metaphor of our ongoing journey to our own center and back again out into the world. The instructions I had read did not usually include walking the labyrinth with 23 fifth graders thoughâ€¦]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once when working on a particularly tough and braced spot in a client&#8217;s ribs, it occurred to me that often I am working with muscles and fascia that are compensating in a way that was once a dynamic and intelligent response to a difficult and perhaps irresolvable situation. It may not from the outside seem [...]]]></description>

I wonder if anyone in your family would be interested [...]]]></description>
