Simone is truly gifted. My shoulder has been a trouble spot for years. The unique bodywork she did freed up the joint tremendously and now 4 days after our session, it feels as good as it ever has. I highly recommend her.

We Americans love grand overtures and proclamations, almost to the point of cliche. But when I say Simone is a miracle worker, I do mean she's performed what feel like miracles on me. I came to her after a decade of pain, predominantly in my upper back, shoulders, and neck. Perhaps that's understating it. Despite dutifully following all the recommendations and prescriptions of physicians, I started to think I would live in pain and a cycle of crushing headaches in perpetuity. "Standard of care" medicine blunted (but did not resolve) the worst of it. Massage therapy often aggravated and inflamed the area with little long-standing benefit and because of COVID, I was out of sync with medical care and miserable. My Hail Mary pass was to call Simone. Long story short(ish), after a handful of sessions with Simone since August, I had an in-person follow-up visit with my neurologist at MGH today (December). I did not mention my Rolfing; but he was quick to notice and very surprised that the rigidity in my trapezius area was better. His actual comment was, "this is so much better than I've seen it!" When I mentioned I had invested the time with Simone, he said, "keep doing that." Simone has restored so much motion to my body. Beyond the physical work, she's given me simple mental prompts, changing the way I hold myself and giving me reminders to move throughout the day. I have pain-free days for the first time in a decade. Of course saying Simone works miracles belies the skill and diligence she brings to her work. She is a practitioner of a rarefied kind: curious, academic, intelligent, and highly-adept. I cannot recommend Simone and her approach enough.
I am writing this review after my first appointment Simone. The night after, I noticed my breathing became deeper, so much so that it kept me up all night. I haven't been able to breath into my lower dan tian without conscious effort. I feel more grounded. What was really surprising to me was when she reorganized the fascia near my pectoral muscles. I believe this opened up my shoulders and allowed greater range of movement in my neck. I am a novice hand-balancer and a working dancer. Resulting from our meeting, I increased my max handstand hold (30 sec to 45 sec). This is a big jump for me since I stagnated around a 30 sec max for several months. I'm incredibly pleased with my results after one session and I look forward to continue my SI journey with Simone.
Simone was not only really good at what she does but she is extremely professional and knowledgeable. It’s not a one time fix. It takes time with this method but the end result is worth it. I was told it was extremely painful but that was not the case. I would highly recommend her and I will continue to go for maintenance.
I went to Rolfing Providence after struggling with lower back pain for quite some time. I will first say that Simone is a very warm and compassionate person. She will immediately make you feel comfortable and cared about. You will feel from your first meeting that her goal is to truly help you. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the body, including both muscular and skeletal systems. With that knowledge, she is able to help you physically and mentally overcome whatever is ailing you. In addition to the work we did in our appointments, she also provided me with many helpful suggestions to practice once I left. Rolfing is a unique practice that I was unfamiliar with until starting with Simone. The physical work that she did on me has resulted in a significant positive impact on my body. I am now headed in the right direction physically. I am definitely glad that I went to see her.
I have been working with Simone for 5 years, having previously worked with two other Rolfers. Simone is a thoughtful listener, a skilled visual and tactile assessor, and a talented Rolfing practitioner. She employs a great combination of intense and gentle approaches that make you feel like you are making physical and mental progress. She helps me realize hardcoded movements and postures that I have conditioned my body to accept and shares corrective movements and stretches to rewire my mind and body--increasing my awareness in thought and movement. If you are new to Rolfing, or an experience advocate, I enthusiastically recommend a visit and conversation with Simone.
I highly recommend making the commitment to yourself to work with Simone. I gained more insight into how to move and hold my body in 12 sessions than I did in my 7 year career as a yoga instructor. In addition to being enlightening and gaining a broader perspective, I now feel like I am more balanced in my body and more attuned to notice when I am not. I think everyone could benefit from Providence Rolfing.
Simone is a super-talented and compassionate Certified Advanced Rolfer. In my Rolfing ten-series (about two years ago), she helped me overcome lifelong foot pain, and fixed many other posture issues. Several friends have gone to see her, and my mom decided to do the Rolfing ten-series with Simone, too, and found it helpful for her posture and neck/back pain. Try out a session if you’re curious about dance, movement, and feeling more comfortable in your body.
