MJ Mojo Laviolette

Certified Rolfer™
Hi, I’m Mojo. I am a certified Rolfer™ in Ottawa, ON and a graduate of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® in Boulder, CO. My journey as a practitioner in the healing arts started with Watsu® (a type of water therapy). From Watsu®, my thirst for a greater understanding of the human body, mind and spirit grew. I was seeking another cutting-edge modality to help inform my touch and bring forth a stronger power within me to heal the body. That's when I discovered Rolfing® Structural Integration. As a new client myself, I embarked on the journey it provided. Rolfing® SI had not only relieved me from chronic pain, but had also helped me find a profound sense of home and ease within my own body as my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being all improved. 

Lucky me, I continued to discover Rolfing®; once more as a student, then again as a practitioner. This work of Rolfing® is truly transformative and I am delighted to be  guiding others on their own Rolfing® journeys. May they find greater ease in their bodies! May they find themselves a little more, and even perhaps find a renewed zest for life! 
 
Whether my clients come to me for chronic pain relief, functional mobility improvement, body alignment, or for more ease or power within, my goal is to address their concerns with care and support for their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 

​I am looking forward to hearing from you, sharing my skills, and sharing what it feels like to be embodied through this dynamic and multi-modal work.​

Testimonial

"Mojo is an excellent Rolfer™. I started a journey of health and wellness when the pandemic started and I had to stay at home. I started at 310+ pounds and needed a change. As I work through my journey and begin to realize my weight goals through proper eating and staying active, my body begins to break down (I am 42 after all). My journey led me to a wonderful Rolfing® clinic in Colorado where I met Mojo. I thought it was funny at first since she was one of the smallest Rolfers™ there, and I was the largest client (currently 6'2" and 260 pounds). I am not sure what magic she possessed, but her adjustments and techniques were amazing and effective. I am glad I made this stop on my journey since now I feel my body is better prepared to deal with the stresses I put on it as I get closer to my weight goal." – Rex
