Testimonials
“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 a 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 that 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 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 it’s 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.”
“I had two wonderful sessions by Pilar. Both times were extremely thorough and healing. It was very educational as well so you take her advice into your everyday movements for the better! 10/10 recommend her session.”
“Thorough, educational, and helpful. Pilar was kind in her approach and her explanation of each treatment was great. The session helped my aches and gave me knowledge on how to stay loose and continue feeling 100%. I highly recommend Pilar’s skills to everyone. Thank you Pilar!”
“It was such a privilege to have my first Rolfing session with Pilar! Her touch and technique are strong and assured and provided much needed healing and relief. I plan on returning and would highly recommend her services to anyone interested in trying Rolfing!”
“Getting Rolf’ed by Pilar felt both engaging and rewarding. Per my request, she was happy to describe what was going on, which felt genuine and very interest-led. We had a good two-way communication and afterwards my body was feeling very much improved. I have a chronic pain which was addressed and targeted, too. I highly recommend working with Pilar!”
“A special experience with a true healer. On a literal level, my body is more grounded, connected, and able to perform the rigors of my life. On a spiritual level, I am untethered and with my truest self after these sessions. For anyone seeking massage, body work, or self reflection. A beautiful space and view as well. Thank you, Pilar!”
“Pilar is incredible. She so clearly deeply understands the body and knows how to channel and tailor that knowledge to whoever she is working with. I gasped multiple times during our session feeling patterns of tension unwind that I didn’t even realize I had. There were so many things she made me aware of in my body through expertly applied movement and touch. When I got off the table, my body felt slinky. Her work during the session made ordinary things like standing and walking feel fluid and artful in my body. I keep saying that my spine felt like it had the range of motion of a snake’s – when I took a walk after my session, everything felt smoother – my footfalls on the sidewalk, the motion of my hips, my knees, even my shoulders felt like they were resting instead of holding. I cannot recommend her enough – her work combines science, art, and movement to deliver one of the most grounding bodywork sessions I’ve ever received.”
“As someone who has a daily yoga practice, I feel I’m generally tuned into my body, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first Rolfing session with Pilar. What impressed me most was that she identified exactly where my tension lives just by looking, without me saying a word. She also gave me a simple, practical cue for how to hold my shoulders that I’ve been actively using ever since. The session itself was deeply relaxing, and the work feels subtle but foundational. Pilar is knowledgeable and genuinely gentle in her approach. I left with real, usable awareness I didn’t have before.”
