Aline N.

Business Owner

An Advanced Rolfer, in practice for over 25 years, Aline served for many years as Chair of the Board of the International Rolf Institute. She holds her BA from Johns Hopkins University and her MA in Education from the University of Toronto.

Aline has many years of experience with body-​oriented approaches to psychotherapy as well as meditation. She also studied cranio-​sacral and visceral manipulation and energetic osteopathic techniques.

Her interest in movement has led her to explore various paths from yoga to tango to basketball. Through a Rolfer’s eyes Aline integrates movement principles with structural manipulation, bringing the insights of yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates into her approach to Rolfing.

In 2005, Aline developed the Physical Intelligence Program at MIT with the coach of MIT’s gymnastics team. Aline’s research and writing interests span the range from the effect of touch on the brain to the parallels between Buddhist thought and the perspective of Rolfing.
