Comments
about Sol from his mentors and colleagues:
‘I have had the
pleasure of being a friend and colleague of Sol Petersen for over 25
years. As co-teachers we have
explored the essence of an integrative approach to human function and
experience. Sol has mined the Structural Integration method for its gold
and blended this with the precious metals of over 2o years experience in
applying insights from Osteopathy and Physiotherapy, Hakomi Body Psychotherapy,
Adaptive Physical Education and Personal Training, the art of Tai Ji and Qi
Gong, Watsu and Integral Aquatic Therapy as well as the latest research
available.
You will be
inspired not only by his deep understanding but by his capacity to express this
in his own body and to teach a method of embodying high function.
He has created an
approach that will not only give you the skills to transform your practice for
your clients but also to bring this knowledge into your own personal
embodiment. Don't miss this opportunity.’

’I've been practicing bodywork for 18 years and there is
one thing that I am certain about - my client's sustained bodywellness happens
through how they do what they do in their daily lives. I see my role as an
educator of bodywellness and I can think of no one better suited to guiding me
in developing this art than Sol. His capacity to recognise limiting patterns in
the body and mind allow him to creatively work with the client to find
meaningful ways for them to help themselves. Sol can help you achieve this for
yourself and for your clients.’
