Hey Everyone!

I am thrilled to announce that I was interviewed for a structural integration podcast and it’s live right here.

What is structural integration?

Irvin Eisenberg of Resilience OT explains that “the goal is to unwind the strain patterns residing in our body’s locomotor system, restoring it to its natural balance, alignment, length, and ease. Common strain patterns come about from inefficient movement habits, and our body’s response to poorly designed cars, desks, telephones, and airplanes. Individual strain patterns come from imitation when we are young, from the invasions of injury or surgery or birth, and from our body’s response to traumatic episodes”.

Based on the work of Ida P. Rolf Ph.D, this brilliant holistic system is part of helping individuals to be embodied in a free and joyful way.

I love Rolf’s reflection that ‘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.”

Irvin and I talk about the role of food in overall health. I am blessed to have gotten the opportunity to join him. I hope you will find our conversation to be supportive and informative.

As always, remember that breath is our first source of nourishment.
