Dannette Little

After 20 years as a professional stylist, successful business owner , educator and mother of 3, I found myself exhausted. I knew there was something more.

In 2000 I began a dedicated yoga , mediation and NIA practice. This helped me get back into my body and gave me tools to begin an inward journey. During this course of exploration I found Rolfing. It not only helped my physical body but returned to me an inner strength and vitality that had been lost. I found a new way of relating to myself and others. I had old injuries and traumas that no longer limited me and I felt energized physically and emotionally. I began to cope with the demands of my life in a new way and felt more grounded, centered,resiliant and joyful. Rolfing ignited a deep desire to grow myself and to assist others in this very profound process.

I began my studies at the European Rolf Institute in Munich Germany in 2006 and completed my certifications in Boulder Colorado in 2008. While in the process of the training I studied additional curriculum in BioMechanics taking me around the country and to study in Sao Paulo Brazil. I have additionally attended workshops focusing on the male pelvis and scoliosis and in 2009 I will begin training for my certification in Rolf Movement and visceral work.

Richard Merbler

Richard began his studies at The Rolf Institute in 1990, Becoming a Certified Advanced Rolfer in 2005.

After receiving his masters degree at SMU in guitar performance, Richards first career was teaching and performing classical guitar for 13 years. After developing an issue in one of his hands and injuring his back Richard sought out Rolfing. The Rolfing process improved his back pain and playing the guitar. Rolfing had also inHis restored his vitality and his life even took on a new meaning. After watching both his wife and daughter get Rolfed and how it greatly changed their bodies and the dynamics of all three of their relationships he became fascinated with the potential of Rolfing.

During his college career he supported himself by working as a nurse technician in E.R. where the idea of studying medicine was planted though his major was already decided. So now, Richard is able to do both with Rolfing by interacting with the human body in a creative way.

Richard - "There are many dimensions to Rolfing and as we begin to bring a person towards a more integrated structure we see many more doors begin to open. We have these words, body -mind-spirit, and we think they are separate parts of our being. But you begin to realize it's all you. And when you begin to improve one aspect of your being everything else is free to jump on board.

Being a Rolfer is an exciting journey."
