About Liliana Murillo Courrèges
My Story
I have always been interested in how things become whole. My path to Rolfing has moved through living systems, movement, body awareness, perception and art. What connects these interests is a fascination with relationships: what allows different elements to become a coherent whole?
From living systems to the human body
My early studies in ecology and environmental sciences taught me to look at systems rather than isolated elements.
Later, through movement and the exploration of fascia through yoga and self-myofascial release, my attention moved toward another living system: the human body. I became interested not only in anatomy, but in what it feels like to inhabit a body.
Harmony is not perfection
I don’t understand harmony as symmetry or the absence of tension.
Stability and movement can coexist. Difference can create balance. Tension can become expressive rather than restrictive.
Harmony lives in the relationship between things.
Learning to see
Art has become an important part of how I perceive.
I am drawn to proportion, rhythm, colour, volume, negative space, tension and balance. I notice these qualities in bodies and movement too.
A body occupies space. It has volumes, relationships and rhythms. A small change can transform the whole composition. Art has taught me to look carefully. Rolfing gives me a way to bring that sensitivity into practice.
I’m continually struck by how the two directions run together: the shape we hold influences how we perceive and experience things, and a shift in awareness can just as easily open a new possibility in the body. Neither one simply causes the other — they’re in constant conversation.
How I work
Every body has a history.
I don’t want to impose an external ideal onto it. I want to understand its existing organization and explore where greater support and possibility might emerge.
I bring curiosity, precision and perception to the work. And I trust the client to remain part of the discovery.
It is a meeting, not a formula.
