Testimonials
“Rolfing is an intensely therapeutic system of healing that we can all benefit from. Elise Purcell is an outstanding trained practitioner of this work. Get Rolfed by Elise and experience Longevity Now!”
– David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System, Eating For Beauty, Superfoods: The Food and Medicine of the Future, davidwolfe.com, thebestdayever.com, ftpf.org
“Elise has a very sweet, welcoming, and uplifting personality. Its very easy to feel safe and comfortable with her. She has a good understanding of anatomy and pathology, good connection skills, and a natural touch that is both deep and sensitive. I found my sessions with her to be very enjoyable and beneficial. If youre looking for bodywork, I would definitely recommend her.”
– Daniel Schmachtenberger, Founder of Strategic Global Solutions, lecturer, and teacher at Body Mind College
“I can’t say enough good things about Elise. The 10 series made great improvements in my posture, balance, flexibility and athletic performance. Due to chondromalacia patella, I have had chronic knee pain for over 25 years and had gel injected into my knees monthly to reduce the pain. After the 10 series, my knee pain has abated substantially, and I have reduced my injections to every other month. My pain is no longer constantly in the forefront of my mind, which is an incredible and life changing improvement for me.
As a competitive martial artist, after working with Elise I went on to win the 2009 Chinese Martial Arts World Championship. Certainly hard work played a part in my competitive improvement, but the increase in balance and flexibility played a big part as well.”
– Tai Seibert, 2009 Tai Chi Push Hands World Champion
“Great results, expertise, high integrity… After many years of totally neglecting the structure and alignment of my body, surfing and everything else had taken a toll on my hips and back… Elise was able to place everything back in its proper alignment and eliminate what had been chronic aches that I thought were just part of life. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is suffering from the pains of having too much fun without the prerequisite maintenance.”
– Paul Barnes, Division President of Shea Homes San Diego

“People say they have ‘strength’ and I want to hear ‘balance’. Strength that has effort in it is not what you need; you need strength that is the result of ease.”
– Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.
Benefits
Structural Integration is a very personal process. Each of us is our own person, so we will all have our own individual reactions, benefits, and responses to the work.
However, people often comment on the following as a result of the process:
- appearing taller and slimmer (some actually gain anywhere from 1/4″ to over 1 inch in height)
- increased and/or refined athletic performance
- reduced discomfort and pain
- better posture and stability, greater flexibility and range of motion
- a feeling of lightness and fluidity, better balance
- increased breathing capacity, energy, and awareness
- feeling more open, centered, and connected… an overall sense of well being
- greater self-confidence
While Structural Integration is primarily concerned with physical changes in the body, it affects the whole person. We are made up of emotions, attitudes, belief systems and behavior patterns as well as the physical being. All are related. Align the physical structure and it will open up the individual’s potential. Clients often report positive changes, stating less stress, greater self-confidence and improved ability to handle life’s changes. (Guild for Structural Integration)
