Meran Cassidy
Rolfing® Practitioner Movement Therapist
At Embodying I work to help restore natural movement in your body. Chronic pain, stiffness and trauma are all addressed in my work. I also work to help people find a more refined and economical approach to movement.
People who want to improve their movement and their connection to their body will be benefited by this work. People who are in pain and feeling tight and tired will be helped. People who wish to gain a greater understanding of themselves and expand their feelings of wholeness will also be assisted.
I work with people who spend their days in front of the computer and need assistance to cope with this. I work with people who are recovering from sporting and repetitive strain injuries. I also work with practitioners of dance and yoga who are looking to refine their practice and deepen their understanding of movement, weight and space.
If you feel like this work might be right for you but are not sure, please feel free to send me an email or call me and we can discuss your needs. I am happy to help in whatever way I can.
I have been been working in the healing industry for 7 years. I have over 20 years experience in yoga and dance. I am fully Certified Rolfer. I have trained in Pilates Instruction and am qualified as a Remedial Massage Therapist.
What is Rolfing?
Rolfing is a form of bodywork and movement education. It feels a bit like massage but works on the whole body rather than just the muscles. In the sessions your posture in standing and walking is assessed in order to see what is moving and what is stuck. In the treatment you relearn how to move in the most efficient way. This means that sitting, walking, and whatever movement you do in everyday life, will begin to feel effortless. As your body gets back into balance, the strains that were causing your pain and stiffness decrease. I'll teach you any stretches or exercises that you need in order to look after yourself once you've finished the treatment.
How many sessions?
Rolfing is delivered in a series of 8-12 sessions. I want to rebalanced your whole body so that your pain is decreased as much as possible. I don't want to just give symptomatic relief that only lasts a few weeks. That's why I do a series of 8-12 sessions. You don't have to commit to all the sessions. You are most welcome to come and try a couple of sessions and see if you like it.
Each session works on a difference part of your body. Through the series your body is gradually rebalanced so that your whole body is freed from its patterns of strain and restriction. You will also learn a lot about your body and how to keep it feeling good. I can give stretching, exercises, relaxation techniques and ergonomic and movement advice so that you can keep yourself health and happy.
How can it help my yoga or dance?
I will help you rediscover natural movement. Natural movement is fluid, graceful, organic. When the movement part of the brain is speaking clearly to the body, then natural movement is occurring. It takes less effort and feels right. You will learn a variety of techniques for connecting to natural movement in whatever you do. It will give another layer to your asana practice and add to the concept of wholeness and mindfulness that is central to the yoga philosophy. For dancers, fluid movement will be experienced. You will embody weight and space, and understand how gravity and relating are foundational aspects of authentic movement.
First session $130 for 120 mins
Sessions thereafter $100 for 90 minutes
