Integral Bodywork® is a method for the Transformation of Human Consciousness. It is about re-connecting to the Infinite Potential of Being.
Integral Bodywork is a 10 session series of hands-on deep bodywork aimed at releasing tightness and pain experienced in your body or in your thoughts and feelings. The intention is to allow the individual to flow more naturally through life.
This method focuses on freeing the matrix of the body’s connective tissue. Special attention is given to the pelvis and core, seat of our deepest emotional and energetic blocks.

Integral Bodywork structural integration draws upon the influences of Western bodywork pioneers such as Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, Lauren Berry and Dub Leigh, in addition to the insights of yoga, zen and the martial arts.
 

Integral Bodywork can result in:
  • rejuvenation
  • reduction of pain
  • improved posture and alignment
  • increased mobility and flexibility
  • increased breath capacity
  • increased awareness, lightness, space and freedom in the bodymind
Integral Bodywork can be beneficial for:
  • spinal conditions: scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis
  • depression
  • fibromyalgia
  • trauma and abuse issues
  • life transitions
  • bodymind disciplines: yoga, martial arts, meditation, dance, etc.
  • creative endeavors: music, vocal quality, fine arts
The 10 Sessions can be experienced either one-on-one with a practitioner or by participating in one of our certification trainings.

If you are seeking to go deeper in your journey, Integral Bodywork may be right for you.
In Gratitude
Integral Bodywork is dedicated to our teachers, without whom this method would not exist. We are often filled with a sense of awe and wonder at how blessed we have been to have trained under them and to have received so much.

Tanouye Tenshin Rotaishi who showed us the Way and insisted that we realize our True Potential.

William “Dub” Leigh who shared Ida Rolf’s 10 Session method with us and inspired us to explore deeper in the bodymind.

Toyoda Tenzan Rokoji who supported the development of this work and who provided us with a living example of “a natural man”.

Hosokawa Dogen Roshi who patiently fostered our ripening “zen mind” and who provided validation for our own developing understanding of “hara”..


We also acknowledge with deep appreciation:

Audrey Nakamura who through her example, instruction and tireless support of and collaboration with Dub Leigh helped Zentherapy coalesce and develop.

Bruce Loebach who was my business/practice partner for 10 years. Our trading bodywork, sharing insights and mutual support have been instrumental in the development of Integral Bodywork.

Ximena Prudencio who has been a steadfast pillar of support and collaboration during the formative stages of Integral Bodywork®. Without her help on so many levels the sharing of this work would not occur.


We also dedicate our efforts to future generations of both practitioners and clients. May we all come to realize that our lives are Rainbows.
