About Aline
Certified Advanced Rolfing® Practitioner
Over 10 Years Clinical Experience
I continue to study and rigorously question my choices as a practitioner to improve my effectiveness and mastery of the skill of Rolfing. The depth of understanding of our bodies is infinitely fascinating to me and I love living into the questions that continue arising with each individual client I work with.
Alongside my Rolfing practice, I research into my own physical body through movement. I have a deep love of improvisation and exploring experiential anatomy. My teaching and performance career have helped me gain a better understanding of the importance of subtle body awareness and control.
Heartfelt gratitude to all of my teachers and peers at the Rolf Institute and in the dance community who have helped guide me on this journey, encouraging me to continue practicing and wondering. The tools you have given me are invaluable. Thank you.
And to my client community! Thank you for supporting me in my work. I wouldn’t be able to do this without your curiosity, trust and commitment. Vielen Dank!
