Stephanie Brossard is a Certified Rolfer in Nanaimo

I am Nanaimo's only Certified Advanced Rolfer®. I graduated from The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration® (Now the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®) in Boulder, Colorado in June of 2015, and I completed my Advanced Training in Germany in May of 2023. I am also a certified yoga instructor - a great combination for understanding how bodies move and function. ### ### I graduated from UVic with a B. Comm and worked for the government for 5 years but found that it wasn't fulfilling enough working with paper: I wanted to work with people. I have always been interested in alternative therapies and helping people, so I decided to pursue something in that field. But I contemplated several options (naturopathy, nutritionist, chiropractor...) and finally found what I was looking for.  ### ### I first was introduced to Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) when a Rolfer successfully treated my grandmother's lockjaw - a problem that conventional medicine said needed surgery to fix! My own Rolfing experience happened after bunion surgery: my toe was going numb, tingling, and turning purple whenever I would walk, run, or ride a bike. I had tried everything, but nothing seemed to help. After three sessions of Rolfing the issue was gone for good, and I had found my calling. ### ### I understand how debilitating an injury or surgery can be, and am thrilled to be able to help people on their journeys of healing and wellness.
