HENRY K III
Somatic Therapist and Educator
Structural Integration
SNAPSHOT
I am a Somatic Therapist and Educator with over 25 years of experience in practice and over 20 in the classroom. I teach Structural Integration and
movement training and have worked with hundreds of students over the years. I am Dr. Edward Maupin’s protégé; we worked closely together for 14 years. My focus is on bringing together science, enthusiasm, and compassion to elaborate and share our work with students and clients throughout the world.
MENTORS
Dr. Edward Maupin – Rolfer and Psychologist
Dr. Robert Johnson – Jungian Analyst and Author
I mention my mentors here because they were an integral part of my development as an educator and therapist. I spent years with these men learning about myself and how to work with others.
