Experience the transformation from chronic pain and limitation to structural freedom and embodied vitality
Hellerwork Structural Integration is a sophisticated approach that releases fascial restrictions systematically, restoring your body's natural alignment and allowing suppressed emotions and energy to flow freely.
Unlike approaches that treat symptoms in isolation, Hellerwork recognizes your fascia as an interconnected web that affects every aspect of your being. When I work with tension in your leg, we're also addressing how that pattern influences your spine, your breathing, and even your emotional responses.
• Chronic pain patterns that haven't responded to other treatments
• Structural imbalances affecting posture, movement, and energy
• Emotional trauma stored in your body's tissues
• Movement restrictions limiting your physical expression
• Nervous system dysregulation affecting your ability to relax and recover
• Breathing limitations from fascial tension and protective patterns
• Energy depletion from fighting against your own structure
• Disconnection from your body's wisdom and signals
Hellerwork Structural Integration builds upon Dr. Ida Rolf's groundbreaking discoveries about how to live in optimal relationship with gravitational space through the systematic release of fascial adhesions and restrictions. Joseph Heller expanded Rolf’s work by adding the therapeutic dialogue component—recognizing that our emotions, thoughts, and life experiences are held not just in our minds, but in the very tissue of our bodies.
This integration of fascial release, structural alignment, and somatic awareness creates lasting change because it works with your body's natural intelligence rather than against it. Each session allows time for integration, and I provide personalized movement practices to support your transformation between sessions.
This isn't quick-fix bodywork—it's a systematic approach that honors Dr. Rolf's precise methodology while embracing Heller's understanding that true structural freedom requires addressing both the physical restrictions and the emotional patterns that created them. The changes that emerge through Hellerwork become part of your body's new normal, supporting you for years to come.
Working deliberately through eleven sessions, fascial restrictions are released layer by layer to restore optimal alignment and natural balance within gravity's field.
Through guided awareness practices, inefficient movement patterns transform into conscious, easeful ways of moving that support rather than strain your structure.
The exploration of emotional and psychological patterns held within your body’s tissues creates space for deeper release and integration, honoring the life experiences held in your body.
This work is particularly powerful for those who:
• Experience chronic pain that hasn't responded to other treatments
• Feel disconnected from their body or struggle with body awareness
• Hold trauma or stress in their physical structure
• Want to improve their posture, movement, and physical performance
• Seek a holistic approach that addresses body, mind, and emotions together
• Are ready for profound transformation rather than temporary relief
Your gateway to understanding how Hellerwork can relieve your pain and transform your relationship with your body, unlocking patterns that may have been limiting you for decades. This comprehensive introductory session is designed for discerning individuals ready to invest in lasting structural change rather than temporary symptom relief.
