I spent my childhood in physical pain from scoliosis. By chance, I stumbled upon an article about…read moreRolfing when I was 18. I found a wonderful Rolfer named Cathy Holler in West Covina, Ca. She opened my eyes about how fascia and your nervous system are all wrapped together. By changing your fascia, you are releasing pain patterns and emotional pain. Within a year of continuing to receive sessions and then deciding to attend the Rolf Institute, my spine had changed 10 degrees (out of the danger zone of needing surgery) my foot grew a shoe size and my back pain was gone. Rolfing has been a huge part of my life, helping me to believe in change. Not just in bodies, but my relationships with people.

Just when I thought I had not been chosen a fateful email reached my in-box. Having a long history and journey through various ailments I'm overjoyed to be a part of my student's journey. Many of my injuries have stemmed from my posture and while I've tried my darnedest to self correct I've come to the realization that there is only so much I can do. Upon arrival at the Institute for my first visit I was greeted in the lobby and provided a tour of the amenities including changing rooms and lockers (with locks) where I could leave my personal belongings. Each clinic attendee has a robe with their name on it to change into for their comfort. It was not long before the students came out to greet us and introduce themselves. My student and I spent time discussing about my medical history as well as any ailments or injuries I may currently be struggling with. From there we took some before photos and videos (I'm beyond excited to see my journey in photo form) and proceeded into the first session (of 10) which was wonderful. As this is a student clinic there is a large room with several comfortable tables (much like massage tables). While there is one student Rolfer assigned to each clinic attendee, there is also an additional student observing and at times providing input. I felt safe, comfortable, and at ease during my session. My student talked me through the entire process and was very receptive to my input and feedback regarding sensations I was feeling during the session. I left feeling taller, calmer, lighter, and happier. I'm totally amazed at the positive changes I already see and feel in my body. I cannot wait to return tomorrow for my second session. I highly recommend exploring this modality. Want to learn more? Check out the videos on their website. If you are comfortable in a group setting definitely take some time to explore their clinic offerings. You'll be glad you did.

Don't be surprised if this review is met with a defensive, minimizing, or manipulative reply - my personal experience predicts this will be the case. I have seen the director Michael on Facebook telling parents not to pay attention to the Colorado Shines website to me that should be a Red Flag they not only have something to hide but are actively working to hide it. For a school that has been around since 1970 you would think they could pass an inspection by now without manipulation or paying someone - see photos.

The Little Red School House, as Children's House is so lovingly referred to in our family, has been…read morethe only preschool I've sent my children to (once they reached 2 1/2) upon arriving in Boulder, from an inner city environment 4 years ago. My oldest, who is now going into 1st grade, was in need of a lot of stimulation outside of the home when he was little. He was one of those very active, curious kids always seeking out new adventures and interests. The education staff took great care in feeding that curiosity from the first day. Their story book journey curriculum is a tested and proven method (see Ashley Merriman's and Po Bronson's, Nurture Shock) for early childhood education success across all areas of learning, whether it be speech, pre literacy, social awareness, personal development, gross/fine motor etc. My husband and I beamed when our 3 year old son came home with books on sharks for us to read to him from the school and started memorizing facts and reciting them to friends and relatives. It seemed he had met his match. As an elementary age kiddo he has flourished into a very kind, loving, enthusiastic and confident student. I give a lot of credit for that to Elaine, the director at Children's House. Our youngest son will be starting his final year at CHP in the fall. He has developed so much from their care by learning self confidence, self reliance and finding his own voice. He is now looking forward to being a leader for next years students and I know he will continue to thrive in this loving, nurturing environment. A point worth making is that it is a one room school house meaning the children are of mixed ages together throughout their day. I can only speak from my family's experience but it has been wonderful to watch our children flourish as they get older, growing first from silent observer, to active participant and lastly to confident leader. The one room serves as a wonderfully safe and creative environment to explore through play, art, music, and pre literacy story telling. While it is a very active and diverse classroom, each child really does find their own sense of peace and space to grow within it. Children's House Preschool has been a very, very positive experience for my family.

Upon expressing my frustration, and then my intent to posts reviews about the interaction I had with the CO-OWNER, of all people (maybe that's why he thought he could just treat me like that), these are the emails I received from Bruce: This a response to the owners response: he wants me to feel badly about someone who had a heart attack- someone I don't know- instead of realizing we had a business agreement and feelings don't factor into business. Why the course was postponed is no concern of mine. The fact that I paid for the class MORE THAN A MONTH before it began and I didn't get what I was promised is the problem. Instead, this man continually tries to belittle me and make me look bad (he says I registered for the class less than a week before it began. I've included my email receipt so you can see what a liar he is). He's obsessed with trying to make me feel badly about a health situation his friend/employee is going through, and apparently he wanted me to mention this in my initial email. When I failed to do so and focused solely on our actual business transaction he took it as a lack of empathy and still continues to bring it up in EVERY correspondence (I don't think all 3 emails I posted are showing- he sent 4 so if they do appear I'll add the 4th). It's too bad he had a heart attack, but the fact that they didn't have anyone to step in or take over teaching a certification program for adults, who all have busy lives, is bad business. Period. As for the rest, Bruce's emails speak for themselves. If you want to give your hard earned money to people like this, have at it. There are way too many other programs out there who will treat you with respect and dignity, regardless of the situation. AND who know how to conduct business.
