About Liz Gaggini, M.A.
       

       

 
       
“Liz is an impressive instructor with an incredible depth of knowledge, perception, insight and understanding. And she is funny, accessible and engaging. A lot of intense learning goes on, but you also have fun and come away with enormously valuable and practical new skills. Her teaching has deeply informed my work."
                                                                                                                                       - Sue Boatwright, Charleston, South Carolina
         
       

Synthesizing various bodywork approaches into a holistic system, Liz provides a totally fresh way of looking at the entire connective tissue and myofascial network. Her approach, rooted in the work of Dr. Ida Rolf and the practice of Structural Integration, goes beyond basic biomechanics and visceral manipulation to create a reliable system of work that restores maximum health and function to the whole body.

A psychotherapist for 10 years, Liz practiced in traditional therapy settings as well as practicing and teaching meditative and body-centered approaches.

Her interest in somatic work began in 1978 with studies in bioenergetics and psycho-physical learning. She began training in massage, cranial sacral work and visceral manipulation in 1985, making the final transition to being a full-time body worker with her Structural Integration training in 1989. Liz completed her Advanced Rolfing Training in 1993 and became an instructor with the Rolf Institute in 1994. She has been teaching her own continuing education courses since 1997.

She has published several articles on Visceral Work, Biomechanics and Structural Integration.  

In addition to her teaching work, Liz has a private practice in Structural Integration in New York City, Ridgway, Colorado and Las Vegas, Nevada.

         
       

"I so appreciate your teaching style that made the learning situation very safe,
supportive and non-ego centered.”
