Meet Our Staff
Jenny Liu
Jenny is a Certifier Rolfer from the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO. As a UC Berkeley grad with an MS in Computer Science, Jenny found herself working at Google, still in search of a livelihood that would help to reduce suffering in the world. After her experience with Soken at Bodhi Heart Rolfing, she quickly knew that she’d found what she’d been looking for. She asked Soken if he would mentor her, and he agreed. Soon thereafter, she left Google to study healing: first Rolfing, then energy medicine and Buddhist contemplation. Her deep and continual study of the healing arts is complimented by her fervent study of Buddhist practice with 104 year old Zen master Joshu Sasaki Roshi. The combination of serious spiritual practice with energy practices from Native American traditions makes for a unique approach to healing that allows Jenny to understand and address many complex causes of discomfort and suffering that show up in modern life. She has a gift for profound healing and a powerful intuition that allows her to unlock stagnant chi, transforming achy muscles and creaky joints into a bodily experience of light and space that makes for a feeling of gliding comfort and ease. Her wish is for you to be at ease in your mind and body so that you can simply be yourself with relaxed grace and engage in an active life, more fully connected with nature, the world, your loved ones and the love that abides in the heart of all beings.
