Brooke Andrews

Brooke Andrews, Certified Rolf Practitioner

The human body is an expression of health. Some people seem better expressed then others. But the truth is we all have inherent health and movement, call it prana, chi, or life force energy it never leaves us.  Through my practice of CranioSacral therapy or Structural Integration I seek the clearest and most dynamic expression of your health. Through subtle manipulation, freedom in the tissue is restored, fluid flow is normalized and thus intrinsic healing follows.

Modalities:

  • Rolf Method of Structural Integration
  • Brooke is also training in CranioSacral therapy.

LainaLaina Solomon - Massage Therapist

Laina graduated with Honors and the Honora Lee Wolfe Community Service
Award from the Boulder College of Massage Therapy. She also has a
Certificate in Participatory Arts from Moving on Center in Oakland,
California, and a BA in Dance from Oberlin College in Ohio.

Laina’s background in dance strongly influences her approach to
bodywork: one must find one’s center in order to move out from it into
the world. In session, Laina follows her intuition and curiosity to
meet each client where they are in that moment, and to help them reach
their goals of relaxation, integration and optimal alignment.
Together, client and therapist seek inner quiet to develop outward peace and energy.

  • Pre-natal Massage
