Rachel Felson Rolfing

So far I have had 2 sessions with Rachel in her satellite office in New York City. I have slight scoliosis and am trying to do things to help keep my posture upright vs what had happened to my Mom as she is aging. I’ve also had some hip& knee pain & would like to remain active with Pilates (& daily walking too) without pain.
From our 1^st meeting, Rachel made me feel very at ease with the Rolfing process. So far she is excellent at explaining what is going on in my body and what she is doing to help me. Turns out some of the things I was doing to try improve my posture actually were working against me.
Rachel also gave me two simple homework exercises that I can already see helping me reduce muscle cramping and tension in my neck, feet and shoulders. One excellent prop she mentioned has really helped too (yoga tune up balls). I will be putting set in my carryon bag for my next work trip.
I already feel I am carrying myself a bit taller and have had less hip pain so hopefully that will continue.
I am saving my 5 star review until the end of my treatment to see how much improvement comes from 5 to 10 sessions a few weeks apart.

I’ve had a pain in my hip for 5 years after Chemo and she made it disappear after my first visit. I was so impressed I went for the whole series of ten. I have gone through many masseuses and got some relief but nothing that would last. She is attentive and will not push hard if you feel pain. You are in control of the amount of pressure she places on you.
Rachel works my muscles and my Chiropractor works my spine. I finally feel way better now. I walk more balanced and have no hip or back pain anymore.

I’m so glad I found Rachel. When we just started I was amazed at the difference I could feel within two weeks. After the series I knew I walked taller and more straight. A year later I still feel myself walk more erect. I wish I knew about this years earlier. She is as professional as she can be. I feel totally comfortable working with her.

«I have experienced a number of different types of bodywork, but this was profound. It can feel vulnerable lying on a table without a sense of what is about to happen, but Rachel achieved the perfect balance between talking a bit and then quietly sensing what nerves needed release in my body. I was able to focus on calm breathing while she tapped into a whole later of my body that I have never really been aware of. I am definitely interested in pursuing an entire package.»

I was in a bad car accident with extreme pain in my right side, mainly my shoulder and neck. With Rachel’s help I don’t have the discomfort I had seven months ago. Even the nerve spasms have gone down. She is an amazing rolfer and body worker and I would recommend her to everyone! If you want someone who knows what she’s doing, will listen to you, is kind hearted and open Rachel Felson is your lady. I can’t say enough good things about her.

I have never actually gotten any Rolfing from Rachel but she came to me for mentoring when she first came to San Francisco and I loved working with her. Rolfing is powerful work and in the right hands it can become magical — I have to guess that Rolfing with Rachel would be delightful. It was a great loss when we found out she was leaving our area for Connecticut — oh well, our loss your gain…

Rachel is a skilled bodyworker who creates a safe and nurturing space. I have had a number of sessions with her and have so appreciated her ability to address the patterns in my body and go deep while also taking me to a place of deep relaxation. I get off the table feeling a new awareness of my body and ready to take on life’s challenges. Thank you Rachel.

I hope you will have the good fortune of working with Rachel. I had never heard of rolfing until I was introduced to Rachel and her wonderful business. I’m a huge fitness junkie so when I was held back with a runners knee injury earlier this year I was on a mission to find something besides «rest time» that would help in my recovery. I could rave about Rachels Rolfing all day long but I’m going to keep it to the point, short & sweet. Rachel is very knowledgeable, professional and the time she spends with you is warm and welcoming. I just finished the 10 session series and its true what her website says, I feel like I’m lighter on my feet, more grounded, that I’m not over compensating to my stronger leg anymore and that I glide through my day with more grace. When I returned to running after my injury, I set a PR for my 5k distance and I thank Rachels wonderful Rolfing work for fine tuning my body to be able to do that. THANK YOU and your wonderful Rolfing business.

Rachel’s body work has changed my life! Her knowledge of the human body, and the ways in which seemingly unrelated parts are connected, astounds me! And she has a touch like no one I’ve ever known. Her Rolfing technique is truly magical! I highly recommend Rachel for anyone.

I had three Rolfing sessions with Rachel so far and I am amazed by the effects already. I am feeling so much more grounded, energized and balanced. Rachel is gentle, empathic and very gifted and talented. She fully related to the whole person. I can’t wait to go back. I recommend her highly to anybody who wants to get rid of pain and aches and anyone searching for opportunities for Personal Growth. Thanks so much, Rachel!
