Rolf Movement For Wellness
Are you in chronic pain and just can’t figure out how to get it to go away? Mike Knapp, the founder of Freedom Rolfing™ hears that a lot! He works with people throughout Sanford, Cary and Fort Bragg who are dealing with injuries and ongoing pain. From soldiers and veterans to athletes and even children – he’s often the person folks go to when they’ve tried everything else for pain with little success.
With over 20 years of bodywork experience and extensive education on Rolfing from teachers in both US and Europe, Mike pulls from many different experts to find the best way to treat you and teach you how to live happier in your body.
Join Mike on Saturday, January 18th from 1:30-3:00 for an interactive class where you’ll learn how the nervous system works, and how it can create pain or restrictions of movement in our bodies. This is the first step to learn how to move in ways that bring ease and greater mobility to your body, and begin releasing chronic pain from past injuries and accidents. Think of this as Physical Therapy for your nervous system.
At the end of class, Mike will guide participants through a body mapping meditation to help integrate the practice, leaving you feeling healthy, restored, and ready to move freely again!
Investment: $50
When: Saturday, January 18th from 1:30-3:00
Heart & Womb Cacao Ceremony
Join us in a sacred gathering to connect deeply with your feminine center, the heart, and the transformative energy of the womb. This Womb Healing Cacao Ceremony is an invitation to unwind, open, and release within a safe, nurturing community. We’ll journey through breathwork, sound healing, and guided meditation, facilitated by the heart-opening qualities of ceremonial cacao. Together, we’ll create a space for release, healing, and empowerment.

- Womb-Centered Meditation: A visualization journey to release and renew.
- Breathwork & Movement: Techniques for energetic clearing and grounding.
