Structural Integration
Structural Integration (SI) is a hands-on therapeutic approach that works with the body’s connective tissue—called fascia—to support postural alignment, movement efficiency, and overall ease. Developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf, this work reorganizes structural patterns in the body to reduce chronic tension, improve function, and restore balance in relation to gravity. Finding greater physical alignment often has a biopsychosocial impact, influencing not just how we move, but how we feel, relate, and experience ourselves in the world.
Jay Williams, BCSI, LMT
I am a Board Certified Structural Integrator specializing in Structural Integration (SI), external pelvic floor manual therapy, somatic awareness, and movement education. I have been practicing bodywork since April 2021, beginning my training at East West College of Healing Arts, before completing my Structural Integration training in 2023 at the Soma Institute of Structural Integration. After experiencing SI’s profound and lasting effects with my own chronic pain and trauma, I am passionate about helping clients develop a deeper sense of embodiment, ease, and resilience.

Tom's bodywork seeks to help clients find empowerment through embodiment as you work together on restoring balance and support to your system. Sessions are centered around supporting the client's journey and capacity for change. Tom takes a collaborative approach with an accepting and curious mindset. The manual work typically involves Tom guiding tissues while he and the client explore movement together. Clients report that the sessions are calming and the result is relieving of immediate concerns as well as transformation over the long term. What Tom loves most about his work is being a guiding, supportive presence for all of his clients as they rediscover themselves; it’s a privilege to share in that learning with them.
