What people are saying
"John – Your background and the CranioSacral + derivative therapy approaches are perfectly blended. Should you desire to become an instructor / teacher for the Upledger Institute I would be pleased to recommend you."
— Dr. John Upledger
"I was told I needed knee replacement surgery, and John Rollinson has helped my knee recover a good deal of its mobility. From being unable to walk comfortably, I can now move almost normally again. I am grateful to be a recipient of John's professional knowledge and his thoughtful help."
— S. B., musician
"John Rollinson has been providing Cranio-Sacral Therapy services to seven children in my class who are manifesting various learning and behavioral challenges. The transformations and improved abilities I have observed in the children, since the cranio-sacral began, have been dramatic and positive. The most profound improvement in abilities, across the board in the children with serious difficulties in reading, has been their new-found ability to take up the reading in a big way. This letter comes with my highest recommendation."
— B. C., teacher
"John has been treating me for a couple of months now for an excruciatingly painful neck and back injury from an MVA. His work has been excellent and wonderfully helpful, on many levels, including supportive suggestions beyond office visits. I am also getting traditional physical therapy, however John's treatments are helping me more than anything else. Gratitude abounds—and YES I recommend him to you."
— D. U., patient
"Always, the work John has done on me has been priceless and the effects long lasting. I would recommend him to any and everyone. I no longer notice the asthma which kept me up nights for years."
— T. H., teacher
“John's treatments release what is trapped and not meant to be held, pain included, and restores the body's trust in itself. Misalignment and tangled energies right themselves with his specialized guidance. I don't know how it works, but it does. And it is him. He has a gift that I cannot explain. I highly recommend him.”
— A. GJ., patient
"John Rollinson's gentle, attentive treatment transformed my physical state from one of nervous agitation to tranquility. I was amazed that so subtle a technique could have so profound an effect. The constant tremor in my hands abated for some time after a session with John. Seeing John regularly for a craniosacral treatment would be a powerful addition to anyone's health regime."
— P. B., teacher
“I had such a great experience that I just had to share it. From the second I walked in, I felt completely welcome and like I could relax before the session even started. John has this really calm, kind energy that puts you at ease right away. Every session has left me feeling so much better, more relaxed, more grounded, more like myself. Hard to explain exactly, but I've always walked out feeling lighter and more settled than when I came in.”
— G. D., patient
"John and I met through Business Network International. As a long time practitioner I am very impressed with John's background and education and abilities. I refer my clients to John, especially if they have had a motor vehicle accident or a sports accident. As a society we do not treat head injuries quickly enough or avoid assessment and treatment for what we ignorantly think is just a light blow. The damage could take days or years to manifest. Why wait?"
— B. H., colleague and fellow practitioner
"John Rollinson has always been very helpful to me in times of injury, pain and major challenges. He is kind and extremely skilled with more training than most. John's extensive background in both cranial sacral therapy and in Waldorf education gives him a larger perspective that is nourishing and profound. He is currently helping me in my recovery process from two accidents and I am grateful to be working with him. I feel significantly better every time we have a session. His office is clean and beautiful in downtown Northampton, MA."
— V. A., patient
"John is a warm and skillful practitioner. He made me feel comfortable during our sessions. He has helped me with my immune health and chronic pain. As a medical doctor, I would highly recommend John for his knowledge, vast experience and professionalism."
— S. N., physician and patient
"Tl;Dr—John is great!! I always walk away feeling more relaxed and happier :) He has a very calming presence and sure knows his stuff. I was a little skeptical about craniosacral (after all, I'm a New Yorker, it's expected) but I came in with an open mind, especially after reading Bessel Van Der Kolk's suggestion of incorporating that into your routine when dealing with stress, trauma triggers etc. And I will say, this treatment calms me down immensely, and I walk away a new person. John has quite the chill healing presence around him, and my sessions with him have really done wonders with calming my nervous system down and preparing me for the rigors of my day to day. I highly recommend him as a healer, and I'm grateful to have found him. I for sure walk away feeling very different after our sessions. John is great!!"
— N., patient
"I had my first cranial sacral treatment with John this week and found the experience to be deeply satisfying and rejuvenating. I appreciate John's quiet and grounded manner and was pleased that the session began with a short check-in about how I was feeling, sleeping etc. I came to the session with minor tensions and discomfort here and there in my body and left feeling much lighter, more free and relaxed both in stillness and on my feet. I highly recommend John, and look forward to more treatments myself."
— M. F., patient
"John is clearly a compassionate, safe and skillful practitioner. He's successfully helped me relieve stress and pain in my back and neck. I highly recommend him!"
— J. S., patient
"John Rollinson has a gentle way about him and his treatments. When you get off the table you feel so rested and everything feels and moves so much easier without pain. I recommend John to help you feel better."
