Dylan’s story

Dylan has had a long-standing interest in the mind-body connection, and spent many years training in Tai Chi, which was his first experience of realising that he had a body, in any real sense. At the same time, he learnt Qigong, and still practises this regularly for his own well-being. His interest in the oriental healing arts continued with courses in Shiatsu, and around the same time he undertook the full training and practice to become a Reiki Master.

After spending many years in a high-level, high-pressure work environment, Dylan realised that his health was suffering, both physically and mentally, and he made the decision to have a complete change of career. Whilst considering what he really wanted to be doing, he embarked on a Rolfing ten series with Naomi, and during this process experienced profound emotional and physical changes. This led to long discussions with her about becoming a Rolfing practitioner himself.  With further reflection, Dylan realised that this would build on his current knowledge and interest of working with the body and mind, and took the step of enrolling for the training. Despite delays due to Covid lockdowns, he completed his training and now works alongside Naomi at the London Rolfing clinic.
