PILATES
Pilates is a full-spectrum method of excercise that teaches you what integration feels like in your body. Whether you want to get in shape, or are looking to find a powerful way to manage pain and joint problems, Pilates may be your next best paradigm for true fitness. The use of specialized equipment helps tone muscles, as well as balance muscular forces at the joint level and stimulate circulation by facilitating muscular flexibility, join range of motion, and proper alignment. All of these attributes combine to prevent injury and to reduce, or eliminate, chronic pain.

ROLFING® STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION WITH STEFAN KNIGHT
Seasonal Residents & Visitors $200 (10 for $1800)
Year-Round Residents $150 (10 for $1400)
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a philosophy that works with soft tissue and joint mobilization coupled with perception-based movement education designed to release chronic strain patterns in the body and nervous system, thereby relieving pain and stress. Rolfing® has an extraordinary ability to improve your posture, structure, and overall physical and mental energy. Rolfing® creates a more efficient use of the muscles, conserves energy through better coordination, increases balance, and generates a sense of flow in the body and mind. Learn more about our Ten-Series, in which we work together to systematically balance and optimize the structure and function of your body over the course of ten sessions.
FIVE-ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE
55 MINUTES $150 | 75 MINUTES $200 | 90 MINUTES $250
Five-Element Acupuncture is an integrated system of acupuncture that works to first remove blocks to treatment through various acupuncture protocols. Once clear, treatment begins, and nature guides the practitioner through his or her senses to maximize your energy and overall health. The practitioner supports nature and the body in doing what it does best: to heal.
CRANIO-SACRAL THERAPY
55 MINUTES $150 | 75 MINUTES $200 | 90 MINUTES $250
Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body, relieving pain and dysfunction, and improving whole-body health and performance. Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams —about the weight of a nickel—practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system.
ZERO BALANCING
55 MINUTES $150 | 75 MINUTES $200 | 90 MINUTES $250
Zero Balancing focuses primarily on key joints of your skeleton that conduct and balance forces of gravity, posture, and movement. By addressing the deepest and densest tissues of the body, along with the softer tissue and energy fields, Zero Balancing helps to clear blocks in the body’s energy flow, amplify vitality, and contribute to better postural alignment.
MASSAGE THERAPY
55 MINUTES $150 | 75 MINUTES $200 | 90 MINUTES $250
Massage Therapy alleviates pain, reduces post surgery adhesions and swelling, helps stimulate immune system modulation, and reduces depression and anxiety. Additionally, one can expect more restful sleep, fewer muscle cramps and spasms,better energy, and improved concentration. Massage also provides emotional balance that can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.
GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS®
Seasonal Residents & Visitors $95
Year-Round Residents $85
GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® exercise sequences are composed of spiraling and circular movements that flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetition with corresponding breath. Each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move through a natural range of motion without jarring, or compression. These carefully-crafted, and healing, sequences create balance, efficiency, strength, and flexibility.

THE BODY
The foundation of my practice is based on the principles of Rolfing® Structural Integration, a form of hands-on soft tissue and joint mobilization therapy and re-education designed to restore normal motion and function in the body. Clients experience this work as deep, yet gentle, focused, and specific to the treatment of both acute and/or chronic pain. When appropriate to the individual's healing process, I incorporate other hands-on modalities like Neural Mobilization and Cranio-Sacral Therapy.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Increasingly, I am incorporating a Functional Medicine framework to support clients with underlying health challenges including nutritional deficiencies, toxicity overload, immune disregulation, gastro-intestinal problems, and hormone imbalances. Functional Medicine, in brief, is a systems-oriented approach that engages both practitioner and client in a therapeutic partnership. By shifting the focus from a traditional disease-centered approach to a more patient-centered approach, we work together to address the whole person, and not an isolated set of symptoms.
