Deborah’s Clients Talk About Rolfing^® and Deborah

Chris Janke, Basketball Point Guard:: “I had high hopes going into Rolfing^® work. But my hopes were surpassed. It is hard to explain to someone who has never had this done exactly how it has helped. So now I either say ‘go get it done yourself’ or ‘I have a new body.’” I feel like I felt when I was 10 years old, limber and with no tightness. Living life puts one discomfort on top of another. Rolfing^® resets this cycle. It has turned back the clock. Deborah has mastered [Rolfing^®] and I would recommend her to anyone. If nothing else has worked, Rolfing^® will. Deborah not only has a handle on the Rolfing^®, but conducts the process in a way that is inspiring to watch. She works with integrity and respect.”

Mark:: “I’ve gotten a lot of body work in my life and it’s a relief to be in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing.”

Candy Soles:: “I feel more balanced physically and emotionally, a balance I’ve never felt before.”; “My Rolfing^® experience has been very positive. I experienced relief from chronic neck pain after my first session with Deborah, and I continue to benefit after each session! The most notable change is the fluidity in which my body moves — I feel well organized, integrated. I’ve noticed a more balanced appearance in my body. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Tim T., RN, ANP:: “Working with Deborah over 10 sessions has been a wonderful process of discovery for me. She has an exquisite sensitivity to areas of tension or anxiety and employs a wide range of techniques to encourage or coax the client to open up to these areas, encounter them, and, hopefully, to embrace them. She is careful to only go as far or as fast as I can allow her. As with all learning, the more commitment to exploration and change the client brings to the work, the greater the rewards. I found our work together extremely rewarding and satisfying.”

Jim Rossi:: “I searched online and found a Rolfer [Deborah Weidhaas] located in Los Gatos. I continued to search online in an attempt to understand what ‘Structural Integration’ was. However, I was never able to understand it until after receiving several sessions, and it became very clear to me. My practitioner explained that she was willing to take me to whatever level I was willing to go. I felt reassured and was willing to allow myself to become vulnerable to change. She explained that the structural integration process typically required at least 10 sessions. It was quite a significant financial obligation to make. However, she further explained that my body may require 50+ sessions based on her experience. That response rang true for me and was honest.; The second session focused on my lower legs and feet. The experience was intense. My feet are flat, and I often felt pain while I would walk. Deborah was able to alleviate approximately 85% of the pain that I was feeling. I was shocked and grateful.; I would highly suggest Rolfing^® as a source bodywork for a majority of our society. Deborah’s intuitive and caring approach to Rolfing^® allowed me to feel safe and release holding patterns throughout my body. I hope that by sharing my experience that others may also benefit.”

Melissa:: “I felt wonderful and for the first time I slept without grinding my teeth. My jaw feels great and my ear pain is gone as well.”

Kim:: “I think of you and how you touched my life. When I walk. When I breathe. When my fingers speak to the middle of my feet—because they are starting to know they are connected. Thank you. It is a gift for which there are few words.”

Victor Sy:: “Rolfing^® has definitely relieved me of the aches and pains from my neck, shoulders, arms, and low back. However, the personal skills and knowledge of Deborah has contributed much more than just Rolfing^®. Her making me aware of values and traditions has helped in reducing many of my problems.”

E.S.:: “Rolfing^® Structural Integration work is a journey and experience unto itself. But working with Deborah has turned this all into an adventure. I learned a lot that was new and I learned a lot that was old. But what made it all exciting was that the new was the old and the old was new after all. Feeling safe from judgment of any kind allowed me to explore and integrate different aspects of myself even as the session was going on. But the best part is that I truly understood that there is always movement in my body as well as outside of my body, so that even the mental and emotional parts of me would always be in movement. And because I felt safe enough, I allowed myself to move in new ways, which felt good (or not), remembering that I had a lot of options to choose from. And so, I continue to do so in my daily life carrying all the lessons I learned with Deborah and remaining open to whatever new ones may come my way.”

RL:: “You’ll possibly never know just how much I appreciate your working with me. Thank you from the inside of my heart.”

Jean Libby:: “If anyone said I could have three wishes, instead of praying for humanity, I’d wish for every adult to go through this Rolfing^® process.”

S:: “You were one of a handful of people that helped to make my year. The last Rolfing^® session that you gave me did me a lot of good. Thank you. You are an inspiration to me.”
