When the Body Gets working appropriately, the force of Gravity can flow through, then spontaneously, the body heals itself

Dr Ida Rolf

Structural Integration, Trauma Release Exercises & Holistic Pelvic Care

This alchemical work is body mind and soul, and that is why I also work with the body.

Through the fascia, I support my clients to release what’s been held and reclaim the free, grounded presence that is their truth.

My touch is intuitive and rooted. I hold space with warmth and loving presence that will give you space to come home to yourself, to release meaning in the body and to better align with gravity and space.

Fascia is a network of connective tissue that wraps around, supports, connects and separates every structure in our bodies, from the muscles to the organs to the bones to the nerves.

Structural Integration

Rolfing or Structural Integration is deep fascial bodywork that reorganises your connective tissue, bringing your body into better alignment with gravity. This is structural work that supports deep embodiment and lasting transformation.

What happens in a session:

  • 1.5 hours of hands-on fascial work
  • Movement education and body awareness
  • Integration of structural changes into how you move and be in the world

The 10-Series: A complete journey through your body’s structure, systematically working through layers of fascia to create lasting change. Each session builds on the last, addressing different areas and depths.

You can book session by session, there’s no need to commit to all 10 upfront. Or pay in advance for a discount.

Investment:

  • First session: £44
  • Sessions 2-10: £66 each session or £555 for 9

Who this is for:

  • Those living with chronic pain or structural imbalances
  • Creative professionals holding tension in their bodies
  • Dancers, movers, breakers (breakdancers) aerialists and anyone wanting better alignment
  • People ready to release patterns held in the fascia
  • Anyone wanting to feel more at home in their body

“Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back… the unflattering contour of their body… constant fatigue… an unrelentingly threatening environment… All these signals may be pointing to a single problem… they are off balance… at war with gravity.” 

Dr Ida Rolf

Holistic Pelvic Care

Hands-on bodywork of the pelvic bowl, uterus, and surrounding structures. I trained directly with Tami Kent from 2020-2022, learning her lineage of intuitive pelvic work combined with Rolfing Pelvic techniques and Sourcepoint trained with Marisol Aimee Valente and Pilar Martin.

What this work addresses:

  • Pelvic imbalances (hypertension, stuck coccyx)
  • Uterine alignment (uterus tilted or shifted to one side)
  • Preparing the body for conception
  • Healing from sexual trauma through realigning the energetic balance of the pelvic bowl
  • Clearing ancestral patterns held in the body

What happens in a session:

  • 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Gentle internal and external pelvic work
  • Intuitive clearing of held patterns and memories
  • Realignment of pelvic structures

Investment: £111

Important notes:

  • This work is most powerful after completing the 10-series Rolfing to first prepare and align your body with gravity, though single sessions are available
  • Not suitable if you are currently pregnant (but excellent if you’re trying to conceive!)
  • For other medical conditions, please enquire to see if this work is appropriate for you.

Trauma Release Exercise

TRE helps you release stress, tension, and trauma through the body’s natural shaking mechanism. Simple exercises gently fatigue the deep muscles, particularly the psoas, activating neurogenic tremors. These tremors aren’t something to control or stop, but your nervous system’s innate way of discharging held activation and returning to balance. Animals shake after threat to release the stress from their systems. We humans have this same capacity. 

Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE works with what your body already knows how to do. I am certified under his lineage by Hans Holter Solhjell and Dr. Sarah Zorica Mitic. 

What happens:

  • 1 hour of guided practice
  • Simple exercises to gently fatigue the body
  • Space to allow the natural tremoring
  • Learning to work with this practice on your own

The Process: Three sessions give you everything you need to continue independently at home.

Investment: £75 per session

Who this is for: Those carrying chronic stress or tension, healing from trauma, or wanting a body-based self-regulation practice they can use for life.

Important notes:

  • Can be offered standalone or integrated with Rolfing
  • Some contraindications apply – you’ll receive a form before booking
 

“Your pelvis is a powerful base of support; honoring this space will increase its capacity to support you physically, emotionally, and spiritually”

My Training

I am a fully certified Structural Integrator, having completed Level 2 with the European Rolfing Association. This is why my prices are currently half price. I will graduate Level 3 (full Rolfing certification) in July 2026.

I trained in Holistic Pelvic Care directly with Tami Kent herself, both online and in-person, from 2020-2022.

What my colleagues say about my touch: “Respectful, never imposing yet always grounded – a quiet shiny presence. Your touch is precise and rooted and at the same time you stay in your centre and don’t lose the sky. You are open and grounded, vulnerable, strong and sensitive. You have warmth and presence. You are pure, wild, loving, expressive and deeply feminine.”

What my teachers say: “Your excellent intuition and perception came to the fore even more. You are very open and inquisitive.”

“The offerings that Maya Gandaia brings to the world  have changed my life!

They are about a deep and lasting transformational journey, with accessible content that
allows you to go as deep and far into your transformation as you’d like. But undoubtedly
you will become a different person!”
