Hi, I'm Lewis.
I grew up in North Carolina and studied Statistics at UNC Chapel Hill before spending several years working as an actuary. My life was built around logic, analysis, and finding the right answer.
Everything changed after a move to San Francisco in 2019.
While helping care for my infant twin nieces, I spent a lot of time sitting and playing with them on the floor. I thought I was in pretty good shape, so I was surprised by how uncomfortable my back became after relatively short periods of sitting. It was a simple experience that quickly exposed a disconnect between how I thought my body functioned and how it actually did. That curiosity led me first to yoga, then eventually to my first Structural Integration session.
At the time, I was unsure whether or not structural integration was “real”, but was bewildered the day after my first session when I could suddenly do all the one-legged yoga poses I hadn’t been able to before.
I couldn't stop thinking about that.
The more sessions I received, the more it revealed that structural change is a secret backdoor into a more peaceful existence. That fascination eventually led me to train at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in Boulder, where I completed my education in 2022.
After practicing for two years in Asheville, I relocated to Raleigh and have been here since.
These days my interests extend beyond body/structure alone. I'm deeply interested in embodiment, self-awareness, and what happens when we become more present in our own experience. I see Structural Integration as more than improving posture—it's a way of removing unnecessary tension so your body can organize itself naturally, making it easier to move through life and experience it as it is.
I still appreciate the analytical mind that shaped my earlier career, but today I'm equally guided by intuition, observation, and listening. Bringing those worlds together has become one of the most rewarding parts of this work.
Helping people feel more at home in their bodies—and, in turn, more deeply connected to themselves—is why I do what I do.
