Gary Gurney, Certified Rolfer ^â began his journey to Rolfing in 1992 when he began practicing yoga. His yoga practice led to an interest in bodywork, and he subsequently studied Polarity Therapy, shiatsu and therapeutic massage. Gary became a licensed massage therapist in 1998.

In 2004, Gary received Rolfing and was deeply moved by the profound benefits. His normal levels of stress and anxiety decreased considerably, and he felt a consistent level of ease and comfort in his body.

Gary decided to devote his full energy to starting a Rolfing practice, and he received his training and certification at the Rolf Institute for Structural Integration in 2006. Gary is delighted to offer this profound, powerful bodywork and education system to the greater Portland community.
