Hello, I’m Brad.

I live in Bellingham with my family. We enjoy time outdoors, hanging out with friends, and supporting local businesses and events that make Bellingham such a wonderful community.

 

Based in Bellingham, Rolfing practitioner Brad Jones has an office conveniently located in downtown Bellingham. Brad was certified by the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO (the sole certifying agency in the U.S.). Certified Advanced Rolfers have extensive training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and therapeutic relationship. Rolfers are governed by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.

Brad attended Penn State University on a swimming scholarship and earned a bachelor’s degree in Speech Communication. He went on to work in the corporate world for 8 years. Brad moved to Bellingham in 2008 after building a very successful Rolfing practice in Seattle. He has been a Big Brother since 1995, and in 2000, he started working for Big Brothers/Big Sisters as a Match Coordinator. He has had an avid yoga practice since 1996 and completed David Swenson’s teacher training in 2000. In 2016, Brad started swimming competitively again through US Masters Swimming. He is currently ranked in the top 10 in the country in multiple events.

Brad is currently an Assistant Coach with the Bellingham Bay Swim Team.

Brad’s Approach to Rolfing®

Rolfing is all about changing patterns to achieve balance. Initially, Brad tried Rolfing to treat an injury, and was surprised by the impact it had on his life; it helped him realize that he needed to make some changes in his life, one being a career change. Brad’s career move is founded in a passion to make a difference by encouraging people to know their bodies, thus enhancing each person’s growth physically and emotionally.

Having worked in the corporate world, as well as the non-profit space, Brad has been exposed to many different work styles, lifestyles, and people. This perspective allows him to interact with people in an approachable manner that is not intimidating, elitist, or too new age.

In his Rolfing practice, he strives to find the options that work best for each person. Brad’s approach is guided by several principles:

  • Trust (create a safe, trusting environment)

  • Practicality

  • Simplicity

  • Fun, Humor

  • Flexibility, an open-minded approach

  • Communication (listen, explain before doing)

  • Expertise (knowledge of the body and movement)

Brad’s Rolfing practice was featured in recent articles that appeared in the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
