Welcome to Enlighten Bodywork, home of Elana Utpadel, certified soma structural integration practitioner (massage therapist).

Soma Structural Integration (Rolfing tradition) is a holistic therapy that focuses on realigning and balancing the body’s structure. The main focus is to work with fascia (connective tissue) to improve posture, flexibility, and overall function. By addressing the patterns of tension and misalignment that can develop over time, Structural Integration helps to enhance movement efficiency, reduce pain, and promote a sense of well-being.

I like to tailor each session to your individual needs, aiming to restore balance and alignment for long-lasting results. Beyond that, I believe body work is a collaborative experience that requires both the practitioner and client to actively engage. It’s about building trust, open communication, and tuning into the body’s wisdom. Ultimately, my goal is to empower the client, promote healing, and create lasting change for their physical and emotional well-being.

I want my clients to have the tools and concepts to become self reliant instead of dependent on sessions with me. More than that, I want you to love being in your body and do all the activities in life that you want to do. Remember, the mind changes the body and the body changes the mind.
