Gibney Siemion, M.S.
Certified Rolfer
Rolf Movement Practitioner
Gibney has been in private practice offering Rolfing: Structural Integration since 2001. She received her Rolfing and Rolf Movement® training in Boulder, CO and Ilhabela, Brazil. Gibney practiced in Boulder, CO, Prescott and Flagstaff, AZ before moving to South Lake Tahoe.
Gibney is energized by working with individuals from diverse backgrounds (infants, athletes, the elderly and everyone in between) and is skilled in helping clients release patterns of movement and perception that no longer serve the expression of their full potential. She provides a safe and comfortable environment in which to develop tools and approaches that help each client respond to life’s events with greater grace and ease. Her Rolfing Movement sessions provide an avenue to explore new structural awareness and transfer this into tools applicable to everyday activities. It is Gibney’s goal to help each client feel empowered, adaptable, supported and coordinated in the activities they enjoy.
Gibney is renewed by spending time under wide western skies hiking, biking, skiing, climbing and adventuring. As often as possible, she is found savoring the scent of sage, admiring invertebrates or basking in an open blanket of stars in remote, wild places. She also works as a Riparian Ecologist and as a river guide in Grand Canyon.
