“I carry the work Aga did with me in all my conscious steps” Artist / Athlete / Teacher / Mother
“Aga’s work is precise, focused, and meticulous. Much of the intelligence and strength in her hands is a product of her prowess in rock climbing, combined with many years of playing the piano. She is an excellent practitioner because she is always studying structure and movement from within. Her engineering background allows her to see and work with sharp focus. And best of all, what surrounds her solid efficient work is her warm, open heart and a sense of humor.” Patrick W. Nationally Certified Massage Therapist
“After two knee surgeries and 54 years of life, I was not happy with my legs, my feet hurt, some of my toes would not bend, and I was starting to have a knee pain again. I was truly amazed with Aga’s work. The shape of my legs is now more pleasing, my knees don’t hurt anymore, and I can bend those stiff toes. I heartily recommend Aga and Structural Integration”. Susan S., Interior Designer / Entrepreneur / Skier
“I knew the source of the pain between my shoulder blades was due to poor posture. I wanted to correct it rather than mask it. Since working with Aga, I have been pain free. I learned how to move my body efficiently and form good posture habits. I have more confidence, look slimmer and taller!” Tracy C., Quality Assurance Engineer / Mother
“By the end of the 10 sessions my collar bones were completely horizontal. This new openness allowed me to breath more freely, and eliminated the pain that I used to feel in my shoulder. Structural Integration improved my body mechanics. I feel aligned, beautiful and powerful.
Recently I was discussing with my sister and nephew who was taller. My sister noted that she was 5.4, and I said I was 5.2. Then my nephew exclaimed, “then Aunt Patti, why are you taller then my mom?” The changes in my body are much more amazing then I thought possible.” Patti T. Forestry Ranger / Hiker / Climber

Dr. Grant is had a very bad whiplash injury when she was a child, which created problems in her neck, similar to scoliosis.

I experience major changes. The most amazing thing is that I am now pain free.” Irene has been receiving Structural Integration sessions now weekly for the past two and a half years. “I am very impressed with Structural Integration and have referred a lot of patients to Structural Integration, including Scoliosis patients. Structural Integration is a wonderful method that can rehabilitate and reverse injuries.”

“Better than 90% of the brain’s output is directed towards maintaining your body in its gravitational field. Therefore, the less energy one spends on one’s posture, the more energy is available for healing, digestion and thinking.”

Ida P. Rolf Ph.D american biochemist and inventor of Rolf Structural Integration
“This is the gospel of Rolfing: When the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can flow though. Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself.”
“The balanced body does not experience weight due to gravity”
“Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity.“
“We are not truly upright, we are only on our way to being upright. This is a metaphysical consideration. One of the jobs of a Rolfer is to speed that process along. We want to get a man out of the place where gravity is his enemy. We want to get him into the place where gravity reinforces him and is a friend, a nourishing force."
