Functional Patterns Human Foundations Practitioner
Certified Rolfer®️(Structural Integration Practitioner) 2012
Graduate of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute
Graduate of the Institute for Structural Integration
Terence helps people out of pain and back into a body that feels balanced, efficient, and alive. His approach is grounded in biomechanical integrity and fascia-focused bodywork that restores natural coordination, alignment, and strength.
With over three decades immersed in breath, sound, and structural disciplines, Terence draws on a deep well of experience to guide clients toward lasting change. His path led him through years of yoga and asana practice, which offered insight but ultimately failed to resolve his chronic pain. It wasn’t until he found Structural Integration — and later, Functional Patterns — that he experienced integrative structural change.
Rolfing® was the first modality that took him out of pain. The hands-on fascial work gave him a felt sense of internal support and alignment that yoga asana never could — even after 30 years of dedicated practice. Over time, he came to a clear realization: yoga asana, by design, inherently twists and dries the fascia, reinforcing imbalances rather than resolving them. When he moved to Michigan, he struggled to find SI practitioners with the same high-level skills he was used to receiving from his teachers at the ISI, and results simply were not happening. This led him to the discovery of Functional Patterns.
Functional Patterns offered a new framework — one that built structural integrity from the inside out and helped him resolve compensations, reduce pain, and rewire old movement patterns. Living with spondylolisthesis, Terence has learned firsthand what it takes to support the body with precision and longevity. He continues to maintain his own structure through daily FP practice and biannually travels to see the few trusted Structural Integration practitioners, further supporting the progress he’s building continually through FP.
His work isn’t about stretching or “opening” — it’s about organizing. Real change happens when the body moves as an integrated whole. Terence helps clients reconnect to movement that is functional, intentional, and built to last.
