Jeff’s passion for health, fitness and the outdoors led him to Boulder, Colorado where he completed the Boulder College of Massage Therapy’s (BCMT) 1000 hour training program in 1998. Jeff was first introduced to Rolfing Structural integration while still in massage school and immediately felt the benefits of the work. He had been experiencing chronic pain and discomfort for several years due to bad posture and a string of accidents and broken bones. “Rolfing Structural Integration literally changed my body. I was blown away by the power of the work.” Jeff completed a long time goal to become a Rolfer and graduated from the Rolf Institute’s 750 hour certification program. He is excited to share this transformative work with others. He specializes in complex biomechanical issues and is offering the full ten-series structural integration recipe as well as stand-alone sessions to address client’s specific goals and needs.
Professionally Jeff has had many rewarding and educational opportunities within chiropractic, physical therapy, and neuromuscular clinics. He has also had the opportunity to travel with several national bike touring companies and loves working with the specific needs of athletes of all abilities. Jeff has also been enthusiastically involved in the educational side of body work: as a teaching assistant in the anatomy department and a supervisor in the student clinic of BCMT; and as both a teaching assistant and instructor through the Spinal Reflex institute.
Jeff is a certified Rolfer, nationally certified massage therapist, a member of the American Massage Therapy Association, and is a registered massage therapist with the state of Colorado.
