Resume:

Alycia comes from a 15 year career as a certified professional PSIA Level 3 Alpine ski instructor and fully trained and certified ACA Level 5 WHITEWATER RAFTING instructor and guide, and Level 4 SWIFTWATER RESCUE technician. Her passion for sports and outdoor education  have taken her around the world in pursuit of beautiful rivers, mountains, friendship and testing the limits of her body and mind. 

Here is what she has to say...

 My story with SI begins with a high intensity ski crash. I went for a massive tumble on an open slope in December of 2022. That resulted in a concussion, a boot top fracture of my left leg along with multiple serious strains. As a full time professional ski instructor, I went back to skiing advanced terrain with clients at Jackson Hole within 10 days of the accident. Not the wisest choice, but a common necessity for career snowsport instructors. 

Meanwhile, I kept trying to rebuild strength and ease the pain of the injuries using just about everything: PT, ART, dry needling, chiropractic and massage.  These modalities had worked wonders for me in the past! But nothing was working, and in fact, I felt like my body was about to implode. My legs worked about as well as a car with no shock absorbers. My skin was wrapping my body so tightly it felt like I was vacuum sealed. I even told my chiropractor, "it's like my head is on too tight." The pain was unbearable and NSAIDS became a daily habit. I hurt and my professional career was suffering.

When I asked a colleague for local references, they mentioned a practitioner that helped them quite a bit.  They warned me it was a little pricey and a bit different because it required 10 sessions. It was called Rolf Structural Integration.

Desperate, I took the bait and called the practitioner. I got started right away and the first session provided an eye-opening amount of relief. By the 3rd session, my body was responding so well to the work and my pain reduction was so pronounced that I was extremely curious about becoming a practitioner myself!

And that's exactly what I did! My practitioner pointed me in the right direction and even provided me with some books to read so I could learn more about Structural Integration and fascia. I was very lucky to find classes being taught by Nilce Silveira, David Davis and Buddy Frank within the next 2 years. They are master practitioners that are possessed by a love and devotion to the purity of the Rolf Method created by Dr Ida P Rolf. The education was inspiring.

My life is completely changed by both receiving and giving this work. It has been a physical revolution. At the same time, I have undergone an internal journey that has strengthened me mentally and emotionally in amazing ways. I still plan to ski and run rivers, but not so much as a job. Structural Integration is something I want to share with everyone I meet. And I am very lucky that it is a sustainable career option!
