Navigating insurance billing for your Rolfing® sessions can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure it out alone. Join us this September for an interactive session as part of our DIRI Member Speaker Series.

The purpose of these sessions is simple: to answer your specific questions and share practical tips on billing insurance for your clients.

Rather than a formal lecture or a basic how-to class, these one-hour sessions are structured entirely as an open Q&A. This format lets us skip the basics you may already know and focus directly on the real-world billing scenarios, workflows, and practical solutions you need most.

Session Details & How to Prepare
To get the absolute most value out of these meetings, please bring a handful of your specific questions about insurance billing, claims, or client reimbursement!

Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM MT

Duration: 1 Hour
Format: Live Interactive Q&A
Bring your questions, pick up actionable billing tips, and learn alongside fellow practitioners!

Touch isn't just about technique—it’s about presence, listening, and deep relational trust.

During Phase I of our Rolfing® Certification Program, students step outside the classroom and into a unique sensory exercise. Paired up, one student wears a blindfold while the other guides them silently around our campus grounds using non-verbal touch alone.

This foundational exercise lays the groundwork for how our students listen through their hands long before they begin working at the table.

What a wonderful weekend at our Lafayette campus! 🐾✨

A huge thank you to Jim Pascucci and all of our human and canine participants who joined us today for our Introduction to Myofascial Release for Canines workshop!

Jim walked us through the foundational basics of a custom 5-session myofascial release protocol tailored specifically for dogs. From live canine structural evaluations to hands-on fascial techniques, it was incredible to watch our four-legged friends relax and respond so positively to the work. Guardians are leaving with clear, practical plans to support their dogs' mobility and well-being right at home. 🐕🌿

Thank you to everyone who brought such great energy (and wonderful paws!) to Classroom 1 today.
