More Connections Between Emanuel Swedenborg, Ida Rolf & William Sutherland, DO
by Carole LaRochelle on January 6, 2013 in History of Rolfing® SI, Human Potential Movement, Peak Experiences, Rolfing® Structural Integration
It turns out there is more to this story about Ida Rolf, William Garner Sutherland and Emanuel Swedenborg.

Rolfing® SI Featured in 10 Page Bodywork Slideshow on iVillage.com
by Carole LaRochelle on August 27, 2010 in Articles About Rolfing® SI, History of Rolfing® SI, Rolfing® Structural Integration, The Rolf Institute®

I thought I would publish the full [...]
