About Me

Stephen B. Waddell was originally led to bodywork through a series of experiences in his own journey of healing. Through his own process of obtaining a healthier quality of life within the vehicle of his own body, he has been able to achieve greater awareness and understanding of the healing process, allowing him to better assist this process in others. He loves this work and hopes to help others in their personal quests for greater health along the way. 

Stephen completed his certification in Rolfing™ Structural Integration from the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO in 2012 and has given time and attention to several continuing education Workshops since. A few of those workshops were facilitated and taught by one of Dr. Ida Rolf’s first advanced students, Dr. Jim Asher.  In mid 2016, he also started the training for a Certification in CranioSacral from Jim Asher as well.   In August 2017, Stephen started his Advanced Rolfing Training and finished up May of 2018.
As of 2021, Stephen’s most recently delving into workshops within the approach of fascial counterstrain, developed by Brian Tuckey PT, OCS, JSCCI. The addition of fascial counterstain brings about more perspective on how to treat and work with a larger scale of physical symptoms, with the premise of fascial counterstrain being to vastly decrease inflammation.

In addition to Stephens Rolfing Certification, He is a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT), licensed by the Board of Nursing~#0019008434. He received his Massage Certification from the Virginia School of Massage in Charlottesville, VA in 2008.  He has practiced Massage Therapy in various places in the Charlottesville, and Richmond, VA areas.

His interests are, Rolfing SI, projects around the house(gardening and projects), Ving Tsun Kung Fu, Yoga, Qigong, nature, hiking, climbing, traveling, and most anything that involves physical movement, with that I’ve recently started back 2days a week helping a long time friend with his tree work buisness, which is like an outdoor gym that you get paid for! While still doing study/research/experiencing more teaching, but most of all, spending time with his extraordinary Wife, while loving and raising their two beautiful daughters.
