Testimonials

  • Expertise

    "Aline is an extremely caring and graceful practitioner. She approaches her work with expertise, precision and enthusiasm. I'm very appreciative of Aline's thoroughness during sessions. She was very detailed in her work during my initial 10-Series and during follow up sessions. She left me feeling more integrated and with increased energy and vitality. She knows what she is doing and I highly recommend her!” — Rich

  • One word: Embodiment

    “Aline embodies Dr. Rolf's work and at the same time brings her own unique and next-level expertise and wisdom as a professional dance instructor and performer to her work.

    I have enjoyed her work personally, and I have referred several clients to her with excellent results in every case.” — Chad

  • Pain Relief

    “In my case, my lower back pain was relieved in a way that no other practice was able to solve. Aline was clear about what she was doing and how I could continue embodying the changes she made, proving each session a collaborative endeavor.

    Her support and the work itself not only transformed the way I use my body but also how I think about using it. I believe that Rolfing is for anyone and highly encourage it as something that will benefit all bodies.” — Maggie

  • Rolfing® Mastery

    “Aline is an absolute master. I jumped into the 10-series with her and was taken on an amazing journey. She has an incredible touch (always seems to know just how deep or shallow to work), a masterful ability to read your body before even laying hands on it, and a warm, inviting sense of humor.

    If you're new to Rolfing/structural integration, as I was, Aline is where you should begin—and, I'll be seeing her again once it's time for my next series.” — Seph

  • Highly Skilled

    “There are very few things more personal than a Rolfer and there are only a few Rolfers who give excellent service. I have found a Rolfer that fits my needs perfectly.

    Aline Wachsmuth is not only knowledgeable; she is intuitive and highly skilled as well. I have been getting Rolfed for over twenty years by world class Rolfers to help avoid my having to undergo back surgery and to keep me out of pain and discomfort.

    Aline takes care of that job very effectively. I have been to other Rolfers with many more years of experience and training than Aline; however, few of them measure up to her ability to diagnose, treat, and resolve complex issues.

    So if you looking for a Rolfer who can really make a difference, Aline is who you need to see. It is well worth a trip over the bridge to receive the skilled and personable treatment she has to offer. ” — Fred

  • A Brilliant Rolfer™

    “Sometimes in life, you get to work with someone who is so knowledgeable, vibrant, generous, caring, and wise that the whole world becomes lighter, clearer, and more fulfilling because of your work with him or her. Aline is one of those very very rare people that you feel so fortunate to work with, and whose unassuming warmth, glow, and generosity leaves you feeling transformed.

    She is a brilliant Rolfer, but much more than that. Rolfing, like other forms of healing, is a tool that a practitioner uses to explore and heal the body and spirit of his or her client. But, it is the energy and life force of the practitioner that works the magic.

    Aline works magic. Before working with Aline, I knew a bit about Rolfing and had an idea of what the practice was about. I went through the 10 week session her. The benefits were far beyond and better than what I expected. If you have muscular or structural problems, pain, or other problems, I cannot image a better person to work with.” — Terry

  • Real Changes

    "As a bodyworker and a competitive athlete, I am always looking for body therapies, which will produce real change in my own body. Balance is everything when it comes to your body. When your body works in balance, you feel better, move better, and perform better.

    Rolfing breaks down structural issues in the body, and then puts everything back together. Allowing the individual parts of your body to work in synergy. Aline has a deep commitment to healing, education, with a mastery of body anatomy, structure and function. She knows limits and appropriate, effective touch.

    I have never had pain as a result of my session with Aline. All these qualities are needed to be an effective bodyworker.

    Aline has made real changes in my body, allowing me to perform at a higher level. She is warm and inviting and will teach you how to keep your body structurally balanced I live in the east bay, and making the trip to Mari is well worth it to meet with Aline." —Amy

  • I Am Hooked!

    “I have always heard of Rolfing but have never tried it. I usually stick to massage or acupuncture but I went for my first Rolfing appointment with Aline the other day. I AM HOOKED! I had pulled a muscle and could barely move my neck for a few days. I am excited to say that I walked out of Aline's office and haven't felt any pain in my neck since I left.

    Aline was very thorough in her consultation and I felt like I had her full attention the whole treatment. I really enjoyed how much I got to participate in the work by following her directions of movements while she worked on my muscles. Different -but very effective! She spoke to me about ways I can be aware in everyday life to help my neck and followed up with exercises I can work on as well.

    Basically I didn't want it to end, I have booked my next appointment, and I can't wait to get back in there. I would highly recommend it!” — Andrea

  • Injury Recovery

    “Aline worked on me shortly after a significant fall and back injury. i would have never guessed that Rolfing could be such an incredible intervention during such a tender and sensitive time.

    Aline was able to work with my injury in such a skillful way~ helping my speed of recovery greatly, and also creating a looseness inside of my injury that has stayed through my healing process. Aline's sense of the body feels expert, and she has a confident knowledgable touch.” — Maria

  • Rich Insight

    “From many years of dancing professionally, Aline herself has developed an incredibly rich vault of knowledge about movement and a deep sense of body awareness. This unique insight, not found in many practitioners I've worked with, carries over into her Rolfing practice, making it a refreshing experience as a dancer to receive bodywork from her.

    She is professional, meticulous, patient, and always clear about what she is doing and why. I felt like she took careful consideration of my body's individual needs, and was able to integrate them into the structure of each session.” — Malinda
