Why I Became a Rolfer®

"I often feel I came into Rolfing to be a bridge, between
races and cultures, and to help establish a foundation
from which to move forward - for my clients and myself."

Marekah Stewart — DIRI Diversity and Anti-Racism Committee Member

positively transform lives. Hear how they have shaped stronger wellness futures, for
