Matthew Berean Rolfing

I have gone to massage therapists and received chiropractic care for many years for a variety of physical ailments. A few years ago I started working with a naturopath (after being inspired by reboot-​with-​joe dietary lessons), and she recommended seeking out a rolfer. I connected with Matthew Berean and have been extremely impressed with his approach, professionalism, skills, and most important the results. Initially his practice was more traditional with physical manipulation but it was uncanny how he seemed to know exactly which areas had pain. Pain that he relieved thru Rolfing techniques. Over time it became clear he had an intuitive ability to identify where I had physical stress. As we progress with treatments his approach has included far more energy field work which has had great effect. Pain is a physical manifestation but has many reasons for being. Poor posture, injuries, stress, and emotional trauma all contribute. My sessions with Matthew have produced great results and continue to do so. For anyone considering this method of healing, you will not be disappointed. For me it works.

Matthew is a true professional. He uses multiple methods to find the source of my body aches, then treats them accordingly. His knowledge of the bodily systems and their connections and their with each other adds up to an effective treatment. I would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone, especially those with chronic symptoms that can’t seem to be fixed. His treatments unlocked a couple elements that other practitioners had been missing, and for that I am grateful.

I have seen several Rolfers, massage therapists. acupuncturists, and also chiropractic care during my lifetime for various bodily woes. Matthew is skilled and personable, effective, and efficient. He has fervently pursued extensive advanced knowledge regarding visceral, neural and vascular involvement and how it effects alignment. This is evident in the results achieved during our session and they have stayed put. Unlike other body work that feels delightful but is without long standing effects, Rolfing, especially with Matthew, will keep.
As a physical therapist, running coach, and ACSM personal trainer, I feel like I have insight into how to change my alignment and body. After a car accident, I really needed the assistance of Karen and Matthew to address the trauma caused by the forceful impact of the accident.
I had the pleasure of working with Matthew and Karen Edwards Wagner, in a two rolfer session (whaaaatttt!!! Yes, it was amazing.) Having two skilled practitioners unlock my sternum, ribs and neck after addressing lung and artery issues has significantly improved my ability to move, run, and play after a car accident.
The work done on my legs has helped me transition back to running. I am very thankful to know these talented people.

Very skilled practitioner. Intuitive and knowledgeable, with excellent manual therapy skills. I have received work from Matthew in Rolfing classes (yes, I’m also a Rolfer) and have found his work to have lasting benefit. In particular after some detailed lung and rib work, I found that I had a lovely increase in torso mobility and a smoothness in my breathing that I have wanted for years. That was almost a year ago, and rather than feeling that the benefit has faded over time, I actually feel that the ease of breathing has continued to improve.
Matthew applies his mindfulness-​based personal meditation practice to his bodywork sessions, allowing him to read information from the body about what to treat and how to treat it. He is deeply insightful and is an excellent guide for whatever transformation you may be seeking.
