I should've left this five star review long ago! Prior to seeing Bill, I had been doing some Rolfing massage where I live in Las Vegas, but I wasn't able to keep up with them since I work in Los Angeles most of the time. I've had a bulging/herniated disc since I was 14 (I am 34 now. and have had all sorts of pain from that along with different sports injuries. I also drive A LOT, which does not help at all. Typically I'm driving about 20 to 30 hours a week. After the first session of the 10 series, I noticed a huge difference, and I could not believe how open my chest an upper body felt. I had no idea I had been that type of chop as I have always felt the pain in my lower back, hips, and hamstrings. Each session I felt better and better and I got my friend hooked on him as well. We both rave about his treatments and can't recommend him enough! I know the price seems scary, and the idea of committing to 10 sessions at that price in this economy can be really daunting, but if you love your body, and can make it work financially, it is absolutely worth it! I've gone to all sorts of bodyworkers over the years And Bill is one of the best! He is certainly the best I found in the Los Angeles area. The cost of not going for me would have been MUCH higher. It's worth mentioning that his setup is incredibly relaxing whether indoors or outdoors. It's a cute area with lots of trees and as a nature lover, I can't help but sing the praises of the atmosphere. read more

I have now completed my 6th of 10 sessions with Bill doing the Rolfing Ten Series. From the very first session I felt immediate effects. My body became more buoyant, lighter, and much more easy to move. I've accrued various injuries from sports, lifting, and life thus far and with Bill's expertise he's brought deep and lasting relief and openness to areas I was simply unable to open on my own. This is with having a 5+ year yoga, qigong, and stretching practice. Rolfing is able to do something far greater than what I have been able to do on my own and specifically Bill has done that. He is highly skilled, very knowledgeable, and has been a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Rolfing and I highly recommend Bill! read more

Bill is the best. I've been going to him for 7+ years now. I've done the 10 series and also just popped in here in there when I've needed work. He's helped me with pain and tension that most other body workers overlooked or were unsuccessful at relieving. Among many things, he was able to help me with a pinched nerve that had bothered me for a long time, and he's helped me with my body after a car accident. He is extremely knowledgeable about the body, he is strong while being gentle. He has a super calm energy. I recommend him to all my friends, family and literally anyone who is dealing with any type of structural pain. He helped my friend who had chronic elbow pain from a work accident and was seeing a chiropractor for years with no relief. After 10 sessions with Bill, it was gone forever. You are in good hands! Literally! read more

I went to see Bill for a lower back issue I was having and after just one session 95% of the excruciating pain I was experiencing is gone. I highly recommend this, such a relief. Thank you Bill. read more

In dealing with grieving, depression, and anxiety associated with the pandemic along with concave chest cavity posture due to little movement working from home hunched over a computer, my spiritual advisor suggested Rolfing which works on the fascia and musculature system versus chiropractic alignment associated with the skeletal lever system in a paradigm shift. Sessions were super easy to set up as Bill promptly followed up to my initial voicemail and the 10 series has thoroughly improved my chest cavity openness so I can breathe more deeply and easier, tweaked my head neck tension from years carrying a heavy work bag on the right shoulder, and shifted a left shoulder dislocation from trampolining as a kid. Bill is very intuitive, gets to all the muscle and nerve knots, and really knows the human anatomy as he's an ex navy seal combat medic. Very educational too in terms of conversation topics across anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, archaeology, biology, space science, botany, and current events. Venmo and HSA accepted. Highly recommended. read more

Bill is the best bodyworker I've ever had. I have been receiving bodywork since 2014 to manage my severe chronic pain and Bill is the best of the best, hands down. His knowledge is beyond anything I've ever encountered, and his curiosity is such a gift. He meets me where I am at, both physically and emotionally. He doesn't push me, he only supports and encourages in such a kind and gentle way. In the short time I've been working with him, I've made progress that I had only dreamed of making. He's helped my body find resilience. I finally feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel because of him. He's astounding. I recommend him with all my heart! read more

Ben was incredibly knowledgeable in his work and anatomy. I hurt my shoulder a couple years ago, got a cortisone shot a year ago and the pain came back. He was able to find and get in all of the spots. 3 days post bodywork and my should doesn't throb and ache. I live in NY and I can't wait to get back to see Ben for another session. Thank you!! read more

Bill is the real deal. It is evident upon first meeting him that he is extremely knowledgable, experienced and passionate about his work. He is also very kind, gentle, and present. My brother-in-law had seen Bill and told me great things that he had done for his body alignment, so I scheduled a ten-series having no previous knowledge about ROLFing. Right away, I trusted Bill to work on my body to a level of depth I had never experienced, and that trust was not let down throughout the entire ten series. Bill opened up and loosened areas of the body that had been tight, blocked and holding since before I can remember. I didn't know my body could feel so different. Not only did he work directly on the body, he gave me valuable advice on how to break the patterns of misalignment within my body and build new ones. I just finished the ten-series and can't wait to see how this new information and open pathways integrate more fully as time passes. read more

Incredible rolfer and I've been to a few now. I came in with what I thought was chronic pain in my hip. Having been here a bunch, my body is permanently changed for the better thanks to Bill's work. It's not one of those things where I'm needing to go all the time forever, but can just go when I tweak something or sleep weird or whatever. Bill's setup is very serene and so is his energy. Book far in advance. He's popular! read more

My last of the 10 sessions was over about a month ago and I haven't felt this good in years. Before I started Rolfing I was hardly able to walk and had pain in my lower back and throughout my legs. I could walk for about 4-5 minutes and then had to sit down due to the pain. I walked hunched-over at an almost 90 degree angle. It was miserable. Since Rolfing has been around for decades I decided to try it and I'm so happy that I made the commitment to do the 10 sessions. Bill is amazing and fined-tuned each session based on what I needed that week. From the beginning I felt better. Bill's studio is calm and inviting. On warm days you can do your sessions in his outside studio which makes it even more relaxing. Bill is so knowledgable and has the intuition that only an experienced Rolfing professional can provide. I can't recommend Bill enough. I am so happy. I walked my dog 1/2 mile yesterday and then walked for over an hour at the mall. If you have any Back or Leg pain I highly recommend you give Bill a call. It's life-changing. Thank you Bill! read more

I just finished the 10 series, and it was amazing. After getting injured in a car accident, healing, and undergoing physical therapy, my entire body was more tense than I'd ever experienced. I had shoulder tension that wouldn't go away, and I knew that I just needed a way to relieve the pain. Bill worked with me to release the tension--he's very knowledgable and skilled at what he does, and he checked in with me at the beginning of every session to address the parts of my body that needed the most attention. I also loved that he gave his full attention during every single session. The 10 series was like an epiphany. I could feel a noticeable difference after each session, I was able to return to my yoga practice with more ease, and I had more energy because Bill helped me create space in my body through Rolfing. If you've tried acupuncture, other types of massage, and chiropractors without much luck, I'd suggest working with Bill. Receiving Rolfing from him was unlike any other bodywork I'd experienced before! read more

I did the 10 series with Bill a couple years ago and the impact was tremendous. I had a emotionally stressful job at the time and was always experiencing body aches and seeking bodywork. During and for many months after-- I had no desire or need for it in the same way. I found myself walking, exercising, and even sometimes running-- most of which I'm not a big fan of, but I felt much more inclined to do so. My family and colleagues commented on the improvement of my posture and I noticed an opening up of my chest. Mostly, I felt more connected to, aware of, and in my body. As a person who has body based traumas, it was nice to feel connected and safe in my body. I did some somatic work (therapeutic tremors and CRM) and talk therapy work before and during this-- and I think that really gave context to the emotional and physical things came up, because they did. It was great experiential and intellectual learning too because I was going through a certification course about therapeutic tremors and part of that included learning about fascia. I talked through many of my sessions and asked many questions throughout-- and Bill was always patient and responsive. Bill really knows his stuff and certainly implemented it with me. As someone who is a bit weary/apprehensive with having male care providers due to past poor experiences, it was a very positive experience to have a male practioner be as kind, respectful, and professional as Bill. I liked it so much suggested it to my husband, who I knew would be apprehensive so I got him a single trial session. He liked it so much he signed up for the ten series. We don't have budgets that easily allow us to afford the 10 session, but we made it work and it was definitely worth the investment. It has been ~two years and I'm planning to get get a few sessions and realized I never got around to writing a review. It was truly a great experience and I highly recommend Bill. read more

I had been wanting to try Rolfing since a friend mentioned going years ago. I never went until now and so glad I found Bill. He works out the muscle knots and stiffness I thought all body work would do but never did. I have lots of injuries including Scoliosis so finding someone who could actually take the time to work them out was a god send. For some reason most body work I have gone to and it's been quite a lot of them ; never have I recieved the deep tissue work like this. Many reviews mention the ten session package but I can't imagine not going back after the ten pack is done . it's done too much to miss out on if I don't keep coming back. My husband also loves going and has almost no back pain anymore. Bill is the real MVP don't miss out book your appointment with him and save yourself a life of undeserving pain. read more

I knew very little of Structural Integration and the Process that I was about to embark on when I started with Bill. I wasn't aware how clear it was that I had been living with a body that was definitely out of alignment. Once I finished the 10 series course I feel lighter , more energized and there is such a difference in how I hold myself. I also started reading about Rolfing and deep diving into each step and trying to understand what I went through. I find Bill's practice to be Essentially the best thing I've ever done for my body. I highly recommend His practice . Truly transformative. read more

As one who has been practicing hot yoga for decades, I can attest that the result of Rolfing had open up areas in my body that the many years of a strict yoga practice had not - after the ten series with Bill I'm anticipating to taking my yoga practice to the next level - Bill had a uncanny ability to zero right into the areas where I had discomfort along with providing holistic benefits - that the art of Rolfing has to offer. He's very good at his trade. read more

Bill is absolutely amazing! After just one session I felt like a completely new person. My flexibility increased and the pain in my neck that I've had for 20 years vanished. Highly recommend! read more

I would recommend Bill to anyone. I've just had my third session and feel as if I'm floating along with my body. Words can't describe his magic and very intuitive hands. My favorite time of the week is going in for a session. I would be there everyday if I could! read more

Six months after giving birth to twins, I felt totally off and disconnected from my body. I was developing a hump from being slumped over and nursing all day long, and my alignment was all over the place. After completing the Ten Series, my posture is better than it has ever been and I've been given the awareness to continue working on my alignment daily. Bill is wonderful. He is knowledgable, intuitive, and really gets you to be an active participant in the sessions. There is definitely no drifting off and falling asleep here. It is hard work, but completely rewarding. read more

I began working with Bill a few months ago after experiencing a few rolfers around L.A. I am so glad I chose Bill. I recently completed my 10 sessions and I am very pleased with my experience, education and results from him. First, Bill is extremely caring and has a very centered presence. I had some emotional trouble in a few sessions and Bill was very calming throughout. Second, Bill is very educational and informative to what we are working on and how it can be integrated into daily life. Third, Bill is quite passionate about his profession. I learned a lot from him because of his knowledge and presence. I highly recommend Bill and the 10 sessions he offers as a program. As painful as Rolfing can be, I was sad when our work together concluded. I will go back to Bill again for sure. read more

Bill is great. Just completed 10 sessions and found significant improvement with chronic back pain.

I went to see Bill over the summer for a 10 session program and after having my last session before October I am still feeling amazing. My posture has improved, my stride, pain I had in my knee has drastically diminished, and most importantly I am so much more conscious about how I am using my body. I have been telling my friends to go, hopefully they will soon!! It took me a while to write the review, but I'm glad I waited I wanted to see the longer lasting results. I am excited for the future and to continue using the techniques suggested to stretch, walk, and unwind my body. I will probably go back to get more work! The deep work he does it worth every penny!!! read more

I did the 10 sessions and LOVED it. I have severe neck/back pain from multiple car accidents. I've tried chiropractic care and acupuncture and regular massages but the pain is always just temporarily relieved. Rolfing focused more on correcting my posture than numbing my pain and Bill clearly love what he does and cares about your overall wellbeing. Will definitely be back for those fine tuning sessions! read more

Bill is an excellent Rolfer and helped relieve my ongoing back pain and postural problems. It was great to be educated on how to connect the ground properly with my feet - which has led to improvements in how I carry myself, awareness of my posture, and (oddly) even projecting my voice louder. I completed the 10 series along with my fiance back in March, who was stooped over at 6'3 and looked about 5'10. Seven months later, he maintains a straight posture and has fewer back issues from playing the upright bass. Bill tediously worked to find all of my knots, and work through each one. It was not pain free, but I could tell from the ultimate release and pain relief it was needed. With Bill's guidance, I was able to breathe through it all. read more

From the moment you set foot into Elemental Rolfing you enter into a calm and therapeutic environment. Bill is a miracle worker and an incredible healer. The ten series relieved me from a lifetime of carrying emotional stress in my body. I encourage anyone who is experiencing pain and discomfort with their posture to call up Elemental Rolfing. It is truly life changing. read more

I can't recommend Bill high enough. I just finished my 10 series and I am so very glad that I ventured into the world of Rolfing. I am so much more aware of how I move my body and how to improve my movement. I began a regulated workout regimen as part of the process of working with Bill and I have felt the benefit of our work. Bill has a very calming manner to him and passes no judgement on where you are with your body. He truly wants to help you achieve maximum benefit to this work no matter where you are with your weight, your flexibility etc. However, this is work and some of the muscle work hurts in that the muscle is very tight and needs to be worked to release the tension. I was not a fan of some of the leg work, but I immediately felt the benefits once the session was over. He will work with you as much as possible to make those areas easier to get through as possible but you will need to be ready to endure the muscle pain for a greater release! read more

This was the best healing experience I have ever had. After 18 years of back injuries and a recent one that left me unable to walk for a period of time I was interested to find new paths to health. Bill worked with myself and the plan my physical therapist and chiropractor had put in place and really helped my recovery. Rolfing and structural integration from Elemental Rolfing and Bill was the key to my recovery and each session I was able to make gains in all aspects of my recovery. I left the ten series with not only a rejuvenated body but with new movement patterns, habits and triggers that will keep me healthy for the long term. If you have a bad back and are scared Rolfing will hurt more than it will help, think again. Bill will help you get right. I suggest him to anyone with injuries or anyone who has spent years in a chair at a desk and needs to renew their posture and movement patterns. It truly had been a renewal process and I will continue to follow up with Bill in the future to keep my body in tip top shape. read more

Magical. Transformational. Profound. Enlightening. I work in the bodywork/ healing field. My sessions with Bill have been all of the words above, and more. I practice and teach yoga and I have a pretty good familiarity with my body, Bill has helped me connect with and work through certain limitations and pains to which I had been a little blind. My sessions with Bill are a blessing. I bounce out of his office, happy and enlightened. As a bodyworker, I feel like I am going to class because I learn so much about my body, how it's put together, how I hold myself. Bill is clear with his appraisals and the plan he develops for me, and the results are instantly obvious (which is in itself INCREDIBLE!!). My body feels great, I feel comfortable and free and light. What I love most: after years of 'working' on my body, picking it apart and trying to sooth my aches and pains, always trying to fix something that I consider to be undesirable, I can walk into Bill's office and feel that I can relax, surrender, and trust that he will take care of me-- I don't have to do anything! What a gift. I am so thankful to lay back and let Dr. Bill heal me for 90 minutes every week. I started with the idea to only do 3 sessions and I'm now rounding out #9 and I am so happy. Helpful specifics for future clients: I have had TMJ for as long as I can remember and it has only gotten worse. After just my first session with Bill I walked out with a noticeable shift in my jaw, less pain, less tension. I also have some pains that I had ignored as insignificant (neck, shoulders, hips), and as Bill looks over me and always seems to know where to work, and the pains release, I realize I have been living in quiet pain for many years of my young life. Bill's knowledge is extensive, he studies and is passionate about the work he does, not to mention he's a lovely human being. I recommend Elemental Rolfing for anyone with or without injury. I have taken my father, mother and soon my sister in for the Elemental Rolfing series. Bill can help you live a happy, comfortable life, in sync with your beautifully balanced body. It's well worth the investment. Thank you, Bill. See you soon for more! read more

Bill is incredible. Truly. He knows what's he's doing and his hands are incredibly powerful. I felt safe and confident in his care. This work has done some amazing things to my body. If you are on the fence, go see Bill! read more

Rolfing will change your life. I had fallen off a skateboard and injured my shoulder last December and wasn't able to lift my arm for months until i tried Rolfing. I have been having Rolfing sessions and I see improvements every time I go. Bill is professional and really knows what he's doing. I highly recommend him. read more

Excellent first session and I'm returning for a second. Bill is focused and fully present, knowledgeable, and a calm, non-judgmental presence. The Rolfing work made a big difference in my upper body, and I've not had any shortness of breath for 3 weeks since the first session. This has made a noticeable difference in my fascia and I'm really looking forward to what it can do for my low back and entire body. Rolfing is healing and helps me feel more in my body. I highly recommend working with Bill. read more

I had frozen shoulder for more than 2 years. The range of motion on the shoulder and arm was not only restricted but painful. Prior to Rolfing I tried physical therapy and acupuncture they were somewhat helpful but did not alleviate my shoulder condition. My shoulder was so sensitive to any pressure and stretching. Bill was gentle when working on my shoulder and neck muscles, the discomfort and pain was minimal. after the first Rolfing session, I did have some soreness in the area but the range of motion was greater. I was impressed. I sign up to take the 10 Rolfing session series. It took 3 sessions to get my shoulder to function better than before the "frozen shoulder" started. Doing the 10 session has done wonders not only for my shoulders but my posture and body movement. I highly recommend Bill. read more

I highly recommend Rolfing to anyone who is a product of contemporary life. As someone who spends too much time tied to a desk with hunched shoulders and low back pain, Bill's approach and technique has vastly improved the quality of my life. Bill is extremely calm and patient and his laid back demeanor is soothing as he thoroughly works out various tissue build-ups. It is painful at times but the feeling afterwards is so beautiful--I actually feel my body again. It's amazing to think about how much numbness or pain we live with as part of our daily lives. Being able to run and to move again is such an unbelievable gift. I give Bill my highest recommendation. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind and gifted in his approach to bodywork. I'm sad my ten sessions have ended, but am thankful to have a better understanding of how my body moves and works and how to take care of it as I sit for so many hours of the day. This is one of the best forms of care you can do for yourself. read more

I came in with a sore muscle / pinched nerve in my left hip. I was not expecting much from my first Rolfing session, but shortly after leaving, I was relying less and less on my cane. It's definitely challenging at times, akin to a rough massage, but the results make the experience incredibly worthwhile. read more

Bill is worth his weight in gold (as an amazing rolfer) and I highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, professional, and has fixed me up again and again. I've purchased many individual sessions and more recently a 10 session package. I've had a combination of issues from adventure/crashes, endurance running, and sitting at work 10-14 hours a day. Bill has been able to fix the issues I have identified, as well as identifying and fixing issues I did not mention and did not know he could fix! Just a few examples below: I went off a jump and landed on my head downhill mountain biking and he was able to re-align my neck and give me full pain free mobility. I struggled with this for about 1.5 years before finding Bill. I previously had upper back and shoulder pain from sitting at work for extended durations hunched over a computer. Bill made some exercise and stretching recommendations and he was able to open up my shoulder posture. I did not think what he did was possible! From one session to the next, I see dramatic improvements and am now pain free. I previously had occasional left hip pain when I would run. Bill identified a misalignment I didn't know about and fixed it. No more hip pain running! More recently I trained for and ran 100k race and had some Achilles problems which Bill is helping me through. I've seen a huge improvement so far. A few times I've had knee pain. When I've mentioned it to Bill, he has been able to re-align my kneecaps and fix me. I cannot say enough good things about the positive effect Bill has had on my life. He keeps me pain free as I work and adventure in excess. read more

After my serious mercury poisoning years ago, my body, muscles, and flexibility never felt the same. Even after I had gone through many heavy metal detoxes, I still had a lot of tightness and my whole outer skinsuit did not feel aligned with the rest of my body. I literally felt uncomfortable in my own skin. I've been to chiropractors, tried Pilates, massages etc..nothing helped me with my issues. Then I found Bill. Bill is a trained rolfer from the Rolf institute and his rates are very reasonable for his time and skills. I purchased the ten series to get the maximum benefits of rolfing and it really paid off! Bill is very focused and deliberate on what he is trying to get accomplished in each session with you. Right away I could tell after my first session when I walked, my legs and feet felt more rooted and grounded to the floor. Another time, a few hours after my appt with Bill, I felt shifts on the side of my head where I would get frequent headaches. It felt like my fascia used to be all knotted up and it was finally untangling which will help my circulation and free up the pressure on my head. Throughout my ten series, I was feeling all kinds of positive changes happening with my body. This rolfing thing is no joke. Oh, another thing Bill helped me with is my breathing. I used to breathe more with my chest which was tight and he released some pressure points under my ribcage and that helped me breathe deeper and better with my stomach. Bill has also helped me WAKE UP and strengthen weakened muscles I couldn't feel. I told my friends about Bill and they love love Bill now too! He has helped them relieved their issues too. You can tell Bill genuinely wants to help people and I know I will be seeing him for maintenance in the future. read more

I've been to 5 rolfers in my years, seeking relief from 15 years of scoliosis related back pain. I just finished a 10 series with Bill and I can safely say he's the best I've experienced. Compared to massage this is SO worth the money if you have any kind of back pain. read more

I've had extensive body work done in my life- including years of rolfing (done the 10 step +), chiropractic work, shiatsu, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, ect... I feel like I've tried it all! Bill is the BEST I've found so far. My first session today, and I've seriously already greatly improved! My posture is better, I can breath deeper, I understand my body more, and I can more effectively (even as I'm typing this;) address my issues! Bill is extremely knowledgable about every aspect of the body and how it ALL works together AND he's also brilliantly intuitive~ He is physically capable of moving/training even the most stubborn muscle group into more favorable positions. He's also super generous with advise on how to address your specific concerns so you might self-improve. I feel SO much better already. Thank you other yelpers for turning me on to this! read more

I just finished my 10th session with Bill and I have to say he is AMAZING. I can't recommend him high enough. I sit for long hours every day (commute, work, school), which has left me with a lot of neck and shoulder pain. I tried massages, acupuncture, and yoga to relieve my pain but nothing quite worked. Bill has really helped me manage my pain and I will definitely be coming back for tune-ups. Just go see him; you will not regret it. read more

Bill has a tremendous and vast knowledge of the human body. Rolfing is an amazing deep tissue massage that is like no other, and Bill is a master at the art. I've had neck and back pain for 20 years and a recent shoulder injury. I did the "10 series" and it worked wonders on all of my ailments. My alignment and posture has improved drastically and my shoulder is much much better, even from the very first session. Most deep tissue massages treat the symptoms. Bill's rolfing treats the cause and seeks to correct your body's relationship to itself, making the connections between parts of the body you'd never even think possible. I whole-heartedly recommend Elemental Rolfing to anyone seeking to improve their body's health and pain management. Bill's treatments are nothing short of miraculous. read more

This is not a relaxing massage though it does feel really good if you like deep tissue massage. At the beginning he asked me questions about my lifestyle and where I had pain, then he had me walk around the space wile he looked at my alignment. It almost felt like I was a puzzle that he was working on to put back together. I liked that. At times he had me actively stretching during the massage. The day after the massage my muscles felt sore as though I had worked out, but also looser and more open. read more
