About Me

Stephen B. Waddell was originally led to bodywork through a series of experiences in his own journey of healing his relationship with his body. 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 enjoys this work and looks forward to assisting 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. In mid 2016, he started the training for a Certification in CranioSacral through Jim D Asher, One of Dr. Rolf’s students.

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 home DIY projects), Ving Tsun Kung Fu, Yoga, Qigong, nature, hiking, climbing, traveling, and most anything that involves physical movement, working with my hands, while also being a husband, and a Dad to two very smart and talented girls, which ultimately ushers in becoming more curious and observant on how individuals process and what drives them.
