About Scott Gauthier

Scott has been involved in the education of the body over 30 years. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 1982 with majors in Physical Education and Philosophy. Later he attended James Madison University where he earned a Master’s degree in Physical Education.

Scott coached the JMU Gymnastics teams from ’82-‘93. He was voted ECAC Women’s Gymnastics Coach of the Year in 1992. He was drawn to Structural Integration when he saw how it created changes that he had been previously taught were unchangeable. It united both his interests in the body and philosophy.

“The changes I experienced in my own body by going through the ten sessions were amazing, “ says Scott. “I used to always have trouble with my right leg since I broke it during a gymnastics competition in 1979. But after the ten sessions I was amazed at the increase in flexibility and balance that occurred. That much change and relief motivated me to go back to school.” And he resumed his studies of anatomy and physiology until he met the strict requirements for acceptance to the Guild for Structural Integration.

Two years later, Scott became a certified practitioner of Structural Integration himself. “I believe that Structural Integration can bring relief to people suffering from chronic aches and pains, headaches, and emotional stress. The pain in your life, whether it is physical, emotional or mental, is in direct and absolute proportion to your resistance of the change that is going to happen in your life.”

After graduating from the Guild’s Basic Training in 1992, Scott completed their Advanced Training in 1997. He has also studied Structural Awareness with Dorothy Nolte, Deep Memory Process with Roger Woolger, Use of Intention with Byron Gentry, and Vital Impulse and Gestalt Therapy with James Yeates. He brings all these tools together to give each client a unique and rewarding experience.
