Sam Johnson - About Sam

Sam Johnson

I completed my training to become a Certified Rolfer in 1989 at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado. I completed the Advanced Rolfing training in 1999. I have maintained a practice in Dallas since 1989.

My pre-Rolfing background is in psychology - I received a B.S. in Psychology from Texas A&M in 1981 and later worked in a variety of counseling related jobs.I have received advanced training at the Rolf Institute on the resolution of trauma (see Peter Levine's work on shock/trauma and its physiological effects.) What fascinates me about Rolfing is that the effects are so general - it can benefit athletes and dancers, people suffering from chronic pain, those looking for personal insight, healing, or resolution of the effects of trauma, and people who have no particular complaints but are simply interested in feeling healthier.

In my free time I can be found strapping on rollerblades, strolling on a golf course, searching for a river in which to flyfish, or heading to Austin to explore the Hill Country.
