Every Session, Tailored to You

Structural integration (also known as Rolfing) is a systematic approach to realigning the body's connective tissue — called fascia — rather than just relaxing muscles. While traditional massage focuses on relieving tension in individual muscles, structural integration addresses the whole body's architecture. It corrects postural imbalances, releases chronic holding patterns, and creates lasting change in how your body moves and feels. Erin is one of very few massage therapists in Vermont with formal training from the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration.

Rolfing is the trademarked name for structural integration developed by Dr. Ida Rolf. It works with the fascial system — the web of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, bone, and organ. Modern Rolfing is not the painful experience it was once known for. Erin uses a skilled, sensitive touch that works with your body rather than against it. Most clients describe the sensation as "productive discomfort" — like a deep stretch — followed by a profound sense of release and ease.

Many clients notice a meaningful difference after just one session. For chronic pain, postural issues, or structural imbalances, a series of sessions typically produces the most lasting results — Erin will discuss a personalized plan during your first visit. For relaxation and stress relief, a single session can be deeply restorative on its own.

Yes — prenatal massage is safe and highly beneficial throughout pregnancy when performed by a trained therapist. Erin uses specially adapted positioning and techniques to support the changing body at every stage. Prenatal massage relieves back pain, reduces swelling, eases hip tension, and provides deep emotional support. Always let Erin know how far along you are so she can tailor the session appropriately.

Cupping uses silicone or glass cups to create gentle suction on the skin, lifting tissue rather than compressing it. This reverse-pressure technique improves circulation, releases deep fascial restrictions, and supports lymphatic drainage. It feels like a deep pulling sensation — unusual at first, but most clients find it deeply relieving. Cupping can leave temporary circular marks on the skin that fade within a few days.

Your first session begins with a brief consultation so Erin can understand your goals, health history, and any areas of concern. She'll then design a session specifically for you — drawing from whichever modalities best serve your needs that day. Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes. You'll be draped with a sheet throughout, and Erin will check in regularly to ensure your comfort. Most clients leave feeling lighter, looser, and deeply relaxed.

Erin brings over 25 years of experience and a uniquely broad skill set that very few therapists in Vermont can match. She holds national NCBTMB certification, has formal training from the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration, Level I Reiki certification, and a licensed aesthetician background. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all session, Erin draws from 8+ modalities to create a treatment that's genuinely tailored to your body and goals.
