Testimonials

“Working with Jen through Rolfing was a mindful and nourishing way to gain a better understanding of how I hold myself within my body. As a lifelong athlete and someone who's been very attuned to my bodily systems for a long time, I originally came to Rolfing hoping to gain better habits for aging and posture. By the end of our 10 sessions, I also walked away with better intuition, appreciation, and recognition of what my body was trying to tell me and how I should respond to it. 

Jen has the most calming, peaceful presence and approach, and I thought of these sessions as a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (starting to recognize and make changes to existing bodily behaviors) and physical therapy (working to deepen understanding of certain sore points within the bodily system). Jen is a talented practitioner who will not only coach you through the integration process, but delight in your discoveries along with you.” — Naomi B.

“Jen said my body would reveal the work that needs to be done. In my body, I was most concerned about tightness in my hips. I remember one session where Jen did work around my shoulders. I distinctly remember when she asked me to breathe after she had finished. And I was so surprised that I could breathe deeper and longer, because I now had increased movement in my back. Later, when I got off the table, I was also surprised to find that I feel much more grounded in my feet -- and I distinctly remember Jen didn't do ANY work around my feet. Once this movement was possible in my back, I began to have more ease in my movement overall.

Jen's movement sessions helped me significantly with everyday movements, like bending over, and with targeted exercises.

From my work with Jen, I learned to find ease in my body. And, I learned how impactful it is to find ease in my body at various moments throughout my day, and especially before exercising. Jen was right - taking a few minutes to pause before I move makes a tremendous difference.

Jen's understanding of the human body is remarkable.” — A.C.

I left my session feeling enlightened by my first experience with Rolfing, guided ever so compassionately by Jen. Jen is a thorough, present, and collaborative practitioner - one whom is grounded in their training and its application while remaining open to feedback, creating a sense of trust and communication. This safety allowed me to surrender to the process and fully embrace the healing, within the container Jen thoughtfully creates.

One of the most nourishing aspects of my session was its holistic approach to wellness. While the primary focus was on physical alignment and tension relief, I also noticed subtle shifts in my mental and emotional state. I felt more grounded, present, and attuned to my body's sensations, leading to a profound sense of overall well-being. The benefits continued in the days following my session: I felt more aligned in my posture, my movements were more fluid, and the chronic pain I have accepted as inevitable was noticeably reduced. I highly recommend Jen Wenz Somatics for anyone looking to experience an embodied shift in their physical and mental states. — Mary G.

I am delighted to share a testimonial for skilled Rolfer, Jen Wenz, whose expertise has brought about a meaningful transformation in my life. Before embarking on this journey with Jen, I was largely unaware of the intricacies of my own body and the tension that resided within it. I wanted a stronger connection to my body, to avoid injury as I grow older, and to understand, and change certain stress patterns.

Jen's skillful hands and insightful approach to Rolfing guided me through a process of self-discovery. From the very first session, she created a space that fostered trust and relaxation, allowing me to delve into the layers of my physical being. With a gentle and intuitive touch, Jen not only addressed the muscles I was aware of but also expertly released tension in areas I hadn't even realized were holding on to stress.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience with Jen is the heightened awareness I now possess regarding my body. Through her guidance, I have developed a deeper connection with my physical self, learning to listen to its signals and respond to its needs. I am genuinely grateful for the positive impact Jen has had on my overall well-being.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jen to anyone seeking not just relief from physical tension but also a transformative journey towards greater self-awareness and relaxation. — Ruthie O.
