Testimonials

Gary Z.

Rolf Method for Structural Integration & Jin Shin Jyutsu® client

Elia helped me more in a few sessions than the practitioners I’ve seen over the past 10 years. She is so caring and intuitive that there are few who you’d ever find who possess her talent.

Julie N.

Rolf Method for Structural Integration & Jin Shin Jyutsu® client

I’ve been having problems bending and became stiff from a year of COVID and then the stress of a wildfire near me. Elia’s skill with rolfing combined with the deep energies of her Jin Shin allowed me to regain mobility of my back and knees.

Linda W.

Jin Shin Jyutsu® client

I have worked with many skilled body workers and healers over the past 40 years, and Elia and Marcelo are among the best. Elia skillfully integrates her training in Physical Therapy, Rolf Method for Structural Integration, Jin Shin Jyutsu® and other holistic practices to offer me exactly what I need in the moment. Her caring, loving and intuitive approach always leaves me feeling heard, seen and valued. Marcelo's unusually deep understanding of how energy moves in the body (drawn from his engineering background, Jin Shin Jyutsu® training and intuitive abilities) is evident every time he offers me a session.

I cherish my sessions with both Marcelo and Elia and I always leave feeling deeply nourished physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Rolf Method for Structural Integration & Jin Shin Jyutsu® client

I work in health care. All too often I feel like the western medicine has forgotten that we are whole. Our mind, body and spirit are inseparable. Treating pain as if we are an assembly of spare parts is frequently ineffective and inefficient. Elia has magic hands and a magical soul. She sees the person. She feels the person. She understands how to heal a person in a wholesome way.

Brette P.

Jin Shin Jyutsu® client

I have always loved Jin Shin Jyutsu® because my body is so receptive to tis gentle yet profound bodywork. I had no idea that it can be even better. With two sets of hands from two amazing beings, it did. I felt very safe and nurtured while my body and nervous system was able to receive and release at the same time. The best part is that my body held the healing.

Plus the added bonus, is that Elia and Marcelo were a delight working together to assist in my body relaxing and doing the work. Thanks you to two precious beings for sharing healing with our dear minds, bodies, souls and spirit. Much needed in these interesting times.

Liza R.

Rolf Method for Structural Integration client

I am a businessman always in a hurry, always trying to control everything around... I’ve never noticed that my body was always tensed. I noticed it only when you (Elia) did the sessions and all parts of me were relaxed... And the most thing that impressed me was my posture, how I stand. Before I had to tense my muscles to keep straight... but after the sessions I was standing straight , just relaxed... Just several sessions and I am completely renewed... Elia, you are really patient... You were explaining everything thru the process... Thank you for your job. I will definitely proceed with it - I need more improvement!

Cristina M.

Rolf Method for Structural Integration client

I had my first rolfing session from Elia in 2010 and I was hooked. After a very difficult birth, my body was in a lot of pain and felt weak and completely missalligned. I realized I needed something different after feeling no changes with massage therapy. Elia was able to bring my body back to normal alignment and strength. The constant pain, discomfort and weakness I had throughout my entire body resolved. I continue to see her for maintenance every few months. She is amazing with relieving muscle tightness and weakness caused by misalignment, poor posture, injury or scar tissue. She customizes her sessions to one’s needs and many times my sessions are focused on different areas of the body depending on what I need help with - hips, head & shoulders, lower back. After a session, my body feels aligned, very relaxed and I have the most restoring sleep! Elia has extensive knowledge and experience with bodywork, I highly recommend her! I’d also like to add that I am not easy to please and if something does not work for me from the first session, I don’t go back.

As a first time mom, I was unfamiliar with what help was available to ensure the best results with breastfeeding. Elia provided good education and manual techniques that have helped significantly with breast feeding my daughter.

Meet Elia

Elia is an experienced wellness and manual therapy professional, with years of experience promoting performance improvement for athletes and wellness for young adults, families, expecting mothers, postpartum mothers, and children in communities across the globe.

She got her physical therapy degree in 1996, after which she started her practice in Brasilia, Brazil. Elia believes in providing a comprehensive wellness approach to treatments, going beyond physical aspects like restoring motion, and preventing future injury or reoccurrence to include helping clients find balance in their lives. To achieve this goal, over the years Elia enriched her practice by pursuing certifications in multiple Manual Therapy modalities including Rolf Method for Structural Integration, Jin Shin Jyutsu®, Neuro Linguistic, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic, Kinesiology, and GPR (Global Postural Re-education).

After receiving her first 10 Rolf Method for Structural Integration sessions, Elia experienced tremendous physical and life transformations. As a result she decided to pursue her Rolf Method for Structural Integration certification, which she completed in 2003 at the Guild Institute, in Boulder, CO; having the honor to study with the great master of Rolf Method for Structural Integration Peter Melchior.

On her spare time, Elia enjoys experimenting with new recipes in her kitchen always looking to create new healthy and delicious recipes.

Elia is the Jin Shin Jyutsu® organizer for Boulder, CO.
