I am a great believer in Rolfing and have been using this method of manipulation and therapy for years. I was thrilled to find Allison in Denver because honestly you have to find that special rolfer who understands your needs, uses creative ways to work with your body and whom you can trust. Allison fit the bill in all these ways. I have had a total knee replacement and while it was successful, many of my other body muscles were so traumatized and overworked from my mis-alignment that while the knee is good, many other muscle groups were still tight and causing me pain and limited mobilty. And I want to be active! Allison worked with my body, and gave me a lot of relief during and after the sessions. But better than that, she gave me exercises and movements to do at home to continue my healing, building strength and improving alignment. I like a rolfer who helps you help yourself, and Allison did this really well. Plus she is calm, nice, funny, knowledgeable and you really feel like you are in good hands. I highly recommend rolfing and Allison. Many people are afraid of rolfing and they think it has to really hurt. It doesn't. A good rolfer will never take you further than where you are comfortable going and Allison is one of these. She is about your body, not her own agenda. She listens and gives you what you need. read more

I have been seeing Allison for her great & highly integrative Rolfing work for the past 10 years. She has helped me on so many levels with her unique ways of addressing the whole being in the physical & emotional planes of integration. I have received so much comfort & support in working with her during my pregnancy & post partum times (creating more space in my torso, pelvic bowl realignment, support for my sciatic like pain and coaching my body's tissues back to a more supported placement.) I am deeply appreciative of Allison's ever growing knowledge & how she educates me & offers suggestions in nutritional ways, breath awareness all while simultaneous helping my whole nervous system to settle in order to aid in my digestive system challenges. (Both the internal, actual GI system & the more pervasive web of digesting of life experiences as well) Allison is a prized culmination of a smart, intuitive healer, educator and deeply caring practitioner. As an acupuncturist, I am quite versed in holistic health modalities & therefore quite picky of whom I want to work with. Allison is always right on in her ways of approaching & treating the underlying source of what is out of equilibrium and needing attention. I truly treasure her. read more

I had never heard of rolfing much less been to a rolfer before seeing Allison. My shoulder had been bothering me for a couple of months and just didn't seem to be getting any better despite my attempts at rest, stretching, etc. on my own. From experience, I knew a doctor would likely tell me "take two aspirin and call me in the morning", so when a friend recommended I go see Allison I was ready to try something new. I'm glad I did. Not only did Allison "fix" my shoulder after a single visit, she also worked with me on correcting the underlying contributing causes. From there, she helped me address various other nagging injuries, aches and pains that I'd been living with. What's more, she advised me on how to tailor my work environment (sitting at a computer most of the day) to minimize the impact on my body. To top it all off, she's funny, open and overall a very pleasant person to be around. Can't say enough good things about her. Go check her out! read more

Allison genuinely changed my life. I originally went to see her for a bad nerve issue. The pain was excruciating, and she alleviated it almost immediately. We then went into deeper body work which has helped me improve my running form, limit body pain, and develop a healthy digestive system. She is truly unique and a natural healer. She also is fantastic at helping you help yourself. The visuals and the exercises she provides are incredibly effective at helping you heal yourself when issues arise. I believe my life is incrementally more enjoyable and easier due to her amazing talents. Lastly, her personality is simply radiating, which leaves you smiling every time you walk out of her office. read more

After 25 years of Nursing, knee surgeries,hiking all over the world, and just plain aging taking it's toll on my body I have been plagued with leg pain that conventional medicine kept attributing to my back - something in me knew it wasn't and finally someone, Allison, took the time to look in a new direction and her Rolfing treatments have made all the difference- not only am I validated psychologically because someone understands this pain, but I am improving physically with every session. Alison also provides a treatment plan with goals and defined sessions, but it is also comforting to know that I can come in for a tune-up to keep me healthy. read more

Before seeing Allison, I had always thought of rolfing as a rough and painful experience. The rolfers I saw in the past would have me screaming and practically crying in discomfort. I had to totally change my view of rolfing after seeing Allison. She is gentle and subtle, letting you know what is going on with each move she makes. I saw Allison in the winter of '08 and '09 for post surgery knee pain. She pinpointed some culprits that could be causing the discomfort, and after just three sessions, I could feel a huge difference. It is such a relief to be back on the right track and ready to enjoy my favorite summer sports. read more

Rolfing is NOT a painful experience with Allison (and it doesn't need to be in order to be effective.) Allison is an awesome practitioner who understands the interworkings of the body on many different levels. Her strong knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the nervous system along with her genuine care and intuition makes for a deeply effective treatment. Allison has helped me increase my awareness of unconscious patterns of how I use and hold my body in space. This awareness helps me to breath more fully and walk in a more balanced way. Thank you Allison. read more

Allison has helped me personally and I have seen her make a difference in several close friends and family's health. Her Rolfing helped me with my chronic heartburn and stomach problems. In addition she has helped where I have a torn muscle that has given me quite a bit of pain. Allison's approach not only helped relieve pain and helped me be more comfortable she also "trained" me on how to sit, walk, stand etc in a way that was better for me and left me more energetic and comfortable in my daily life. I would highly recommend Allison! read more

I work in the restaurant business and I am constantly on my feet---needless to say I have lots of aches and pains. I am a big advocate of Rolfing and I have a lot of respect for Allison as a practitioner. Not only is she enthusiastic and knowledgeable, she is also a good listener. After working with Allison I have become more aware of my body's strengths and limitations. I now stand taller and stronger than I did before meeting Allison. read more

I had never heard of rolfing when a friend/chiropractor suggested that it might help my chronic low back and hip pain. Over the past several months, Allison has helped me to reduce my discomfort by focusing not only on my problem area, but on the way my feet, pelvis, ribs, shoulders and neck all need to work together to keep me balanced. Allison has helped me feel stronger and less prone to injury while lifting weights and skiing. read more

I have been suffering from a sciatic nerve pain in my left leg for 5 years. The doctor's remedy was to give me a cortisone shot, but instead I visited Allison. In fact, after the first visit I noticed a vast improvement dealing with this condition. Now I'm pain free and owe it all to her. I recommend anyone to visit Allison before following typical western medicine practices. read more

Allison's deep listening skills are exceptional. I have seen many providers over the years to treat chronic pain in my back and neck and Allison is the first person who has helped translate the language of my body so that I can understand. She integrates my entire experience, beyond my physical symptoms and helps me feel capable and empowered rather than dependent. read more
