Meet Scott: Your Trusted Guide to Improved Structure and Function

Hi, I'm Scott, your Certified Rolfer here in Tucson. My journey into bodywork began with over 30 years of practicing Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, and meditation. These practices sparked my fascination with body mechanics and energy flow. In 2012, I discovered Rolfing® Structural Integration, which helped me heal from old injuries and greatly improved my body alignment and function. This experience inspired me to pursue Rolfing professionally, completing my basic training in 2018 and advanced training in 2024.

I am now an Advanced Rolf Practitioner with the American Guild for Structural Integration, a Certified Rolfer® with the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, and a Board-Certified Structural Integrator with the International Association of Structural Integrators. Since 2022, I have been part of REMI Therapeutic Bodywork in Central Tucson, where I enjoy the supportive and relaxed environment alongside my colleagues.

My sessions cater to people of all ages seeking relief from past traumas or injuries, improved physical performance, or enhanced body awareness. I love working with clients who have backgrounds in martial arts, yoga, meditation, or other awareness practices. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for your healing journey, helping you achieve better health and self-awareness.

Originally from southern Ohio, I spent 25 years in Oregon before moving to Tucson to be closer to family and enjoy the Sonoran Desert. Before becoming a Rolfer, I worked in computer gaming, ran a fine art photography business, and taught Arts Management at the University of Oregon. Now, I live in Central Tucson with my life partner, Julie. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, skiing, and gourmet cooking.
