How did you become involved in the practice of Structural Integration?

I first became involved with Structural Integration while working as a Colorado Outward Bound Instructor. I spent a lot of time ferrying a heavy backpack through the mountains, and after a few seasons, my back was killing me. A friend recommended Structural Integration and I found that a ten-series took the pain away. I continued teaching with Outward Bound, got into doing Yoga, and kept getting more SI sessions. After a few more years with Outward Bound, and a subsequent knee injury, I realized I needed a change. I come from a family of doctors, so the healing arts have always been a big part of my life, and I felt compelled by the art of Structural Integration to make it my life’s work. I studied with Emmett Hutchins and Peter Melchior at the Guild for Structural Integration, located in Boulder, Colorado, and graduated as a basic practitioner in February 1997. I went back to school to study with Peter, Nilce Silvera, and David Davis, and graduated as an advanced practitioner in August 2002.
