What is Hellerwork?
Hellerwork Structural Integration understands the inseparability of body, mind, and spirit through the integration of mechanical, psychological, and energetic principles.
Eleven themed bodywork sessions take you through a transformative process that creates space for new possibilities; physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.
Hellerwork incorporates deep tissue bodywork, somatic dialogue, and movement education to address and release tension, stress, and pain in the body.
Hellerwork and the Fascial System
Hellerwork specifically addresses the fascial system.
Fascia is the body’s connective tissue; it is an interwoven system that provides a framework for our bones, muscles, organs and blood vessels.
Fascia forms to function, so every movement you make affects how your framework is built.
Fascia is also protective by nature, therefore if you have an injury that did not heal properly, your entire framework is affected by this compensation. Addressing this unique and complex system allows a “re-structuring” of this framework to improve overall physical alignment.
This hands-on approach with your fascia, allows the fascia to change and be “re-molded” to an optimal state. Clients often notice less tension, increased energy, more fluidity and ease of movement, improved flexibility, increased energy and overall improvement of well-being!

Testimonials
Hellerwork Works!
“Katherine is a gifted and trusted Hellerwork practitioner whom I have been working with personally and professionally for ten years. She has seen me through numerous marathons, two healthy pregnancies and has worked with me to correct numerous structural imbalances from 12 years of planting trees on our rugged north coast. As an ND I have referred numerous friends and patients to her with excellent feedback and results. Katherine is able to hold a space that allows one to feel vulnerable and supported, which facilitates deep healing on all levels. I have complete confidence in her skills and highly recommend working with her.”
“When people ask me if I get anybody work done, I say I do, and it’s like magic. Since discovering Ross at Body-Wize, I have not gone to any other specialist, and I only need to see Ross when I reinjure myself or stop following his simple guidance or just because I absolutely love how well my body works after.
In my first round of visits, Ross worked on recent injuries as well as pain I had come to accept as my new normal – severe back pain, shoulder issues, problems in my feet, to name a few. I had spent years and loads of time and money going to various specialists with moderate success, but I had to keep up my visits regularly. Now when I follow Ross’s simple recommendations around movement and some simple exercises, I am able to remain pain-free indefinitely.”
