“As a fabricator in the movie industry I put a lot of strain on my body working long hours doing manual labor. After each Rolfing session with Pilar I immediately noticed less tension and pain particularly in my lower back. I’ve tried other forms of body work/massages before but never experienced as beneficial of an impact and improvement on my overall physical well being as from the Rolfing program. I felt totally comfortable with Pilar working on me and her studio is a lovely environment, she is truly an amazing healer!”

“If I was only allowed to choose one word to describe Pilar and her practice, it would be “generous”, but luckily I’m allowed to use more than one word, so I’ll throw in some more! Pilar, as both a person and practitioner, is so genuinely kind, attentive, and skilled at creating a space that feels safe to do healing work in. As someone completely new to Rolfing, I really appreciated how generous Pilar was with the time she spent answering my questions and explaining this practice thats she’s so passionate about. I’ve experienced a lot of different body work from different types of folks, both good and bad, and my experience in Pilar’s care was really lovely. I think my favorite thing that I took away from our first session was the emphasis on gentleness. Healing doesn’t have to be an intense or arduous and our bodies and their pain doesn’t have to be seen as dysfunction. I learned from Pilar that patience and gentleness alone can do wonders. Not to be totally cheesy, but I do believe in callings and its like Pilar was made to do this work! I can’t recommend working with her enough and am so honored to have had the opportunity to be an early client of her’s. I can’t wait to see her practice blossom.”

“As somebody who had not previously tried Rolfing, I found Pilar’s attentive, supportive, and calming demeanor reassuring. She consistently checks in with me and adapts her focus and pressure to accommodate the particular needs and sensitivities of my body. I’m really looking forward to the rest of our sessions together, and I couldn’t recommend her practice more.”
