Marcel's Story
|
Marcel Kempf has been fascinated with the human body for the last ten years. As a child growing up in Switzerland, movement was an important part of his life and it still is today. There was a time when he subscribed to the “no pain no gain” mentality but since becoming a Rolfer and immersing himself in training, he has instead learned to work with the body as a companion rather working against it.
In 2011, Marcel had to undergo his own journey of becoming pain free. After seeing many doctors, naturopaths, and physical therapists with no results he started to learn more about the human body. After reclaiming his life and moving pain free, today he is on a mission to help people get their life back so they can do the everyday things they love. In his free time, Marcel likes to keep moving with various activities such as swimming, running, hiking, cycling, lifting weights. He is also a passionate woodworker. Once or twice a year he visits the Alps in Switzerland to hike or ski and visit with family and friends. In 2017, after extensive studies and training at the Rolf Institute in Boulder Colorado, Marcel Kempf became a certified Rolfing practitioner. Since then Marcel has been providing Rolfing SI in the Bay Area, located now in Palo Alto. |
