All About Amy Larimer
I am a member of the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration, and received my certification at the Rolf Institute of Boulder, Colorado, in October 2006. I have been a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) since 2002.
I have been building and maintaining my own deep tissue practice since 2001. A variety of studies, including Sports Massage, Thai Massage, and Zen Shiatsu, led me to study Deep Tissue with Certified Advanced Rolfer Art Riggs in 2003. Before pursuing the Rolf Training, I enhanced my skills and knowledge with continuing education in Physiology and Anatomy and by taking myself through Rolfing’s traditional 10 Series while building my current bodywork practice.
I have now combined my Rolfing and Deep Tissue practices to offer my clients the type(s) of treatment they want or need to become more at ease in their own bodies.
I will continue to grow and maintain my Rolfing Practice with continued education and working as a Teachers Assistant at the Rolf Institute in Boulder.
I am proud to announce that my first opportunity to assist the Rolf Institute already has presented itself, as I will be assisting John Schewe and Suzanne Picard for the Advanced Foundations of Rolfing Structural Integration in September 2007.
Testimonials
"After my first session with Amy I had my best round of golf ever! I felt more balanced and in control. Now that I have finished the 10 series I find that I want more! Thanks Amy, for your expert care and attention to all the details of my human frame. PS: Not one migraine since my sessions ended!"
»Dr. Cheryl Saxton, D.C.
"Amy is an extremely talented Rolfer. After completing the 10 sessions, I feel rejuvenated, and years of nagging pains have been corrected through her physical work and instruction. I couldn't recommend somebody more."
»Jonathan Klein, Attorney
"Since I finished the Rolfing Series with Amy, everything works better."
»Mary Nisenbaum, Swimmer, Problem Solver
"Rolfing has relieved my notoriously tight muscles as well as given me a much greater awareness of how my skeleton exists within my skin. As a result, I now walk with noticeably better balance, less pain, and diminished sounds coming from my joints."
»John Belanger, Carpenter
"The 10-series helped me reduce chronic head, neck and hip pain from years of poor posture and movement. But beyond that, rolfing helped me feel much more balanced and grounded in everything I do. I have found a solid center of gravity that has increased my confidence in all physical activity."
»Gail Ann Greely, Non-Profit Manager
"It has been a year since Amy did a ten-series on me and there isn't a day that goes by without my thanking her in my mind for the work she did. The Rolfing was profound and has hugely changed my life for the better; I am significantly more relaxed in my body and I run pain-free, twelve to twenty-five miles per week.
This really is about two things: Rolfing . . . and Amy. Rolfing is truly amazing in affecting beneficial structural changes to the body. Seemingly permanent and "stuck" elements in my body easily released. I have no need to hold my body in good posture any longer. I simply relax now. Lifelong, chronic issues melted away through the ten-series.
And Amy . . . , she is truly amazing in her ability to "read" the body, to notice the subtle ways of movement, to respond to the individual needs of the client, while riding the form of Rolfing. She inspires a deep trust and her love of Rolfing is evident in every manipulation, every studying gaze. Thank you, Amy!!"
