Trusting Kalou on our journey of Structural Integration has been profoundly impactful for me. After my first 10 series I feel I move through the world with ease I didn't know of - and a deep awareness of my body. The ripples of this work still bring me enlightening moments a year later. I am so grateful for Kalou who helped me learn how to heal softly, in relationship and communication with my body, with curiosity, and with a willingness to be surprised. I truly stand taller (1.5 inches taller) and walk with my feet on the ground. If I had paragraphs for this testimonial I could fill them.

From the moment I walk into Kalou's office, I feel a deeper sense of calm and my system begins to relax. A highly skilled bodyworker, her work is a blend of keen intuition and very practical knowledge. In addition to easing my physical body experience, Kalou offers a presence of deep acceptance and encouragement that helps my heart and emotional body find more alignment as well. As a person who has suffered with chronic pain for much of my life and seen numerous practitioners, I feel fortunate to have found such a rare and effective healer.

Receiving the 10 series has been a journey of healing at many levels. On one hand, the physical improvement and correction of postural imbalances have been remarkable. It feels SI treats the body as a whole, tuning it to function more coherently and freely as a unit, and nurturing its natural resilience and balance. It has restored alignment and suppleness, which allow me to walk and move with greater ease than I thought possible.
On the other hand, this work has brought about many insights regarding the connection between body, emotions and mind, and it has increased my ability to intuitively listen to my body's needs. This is helping me make better decisions when it comes to lifestyle and health choices.
Kalou is a very talented and skillful practitioner (and I speak as a former complementary therapist who has experienced extensive body work of all possible kinds all over the world). She provides a safe and non-judgemental space where you can truly relax and be yourself, where the body and mind patterns of tensión and dis-ease can unravel and heal in their unique, wonderful and weird ways.
I have found Structural Integration essential to maintain authentic wellbeing while suffering from chronic physical ailments. It continues to deepen my understanding of myself, of what natural health is and feels like, and to surprise me by catalyzing and initiating healing I didn't know was necessary in aspects of my being I wasn't even aware of. I feel very fortunate to have found Kalou, I am immensely grateful for all her help.

When I began working with Kalou about eight months ago, I had been in constant back pain from head to heels for over a year. It's been gradual, but steady, progress. Throughout, Kalou has been infectiously open, positive, fearless and encouraging. Her touch is warm, nurturing and supportive. Kalou's knowledge, skill and sensitivity have been healing, not only for my body, but for my emotions and spirit as well. I'm deeply grateful for her commitment to helping me reclaim my life and highly recommend her to anyone living with chronic pain and/or wanting to discover their potential and the healing power of their bodies.

Over the last few months, I have had the pleasure of working with Kalou. She came highly recommended and I was not disappointed in the work I experienced while in her good hands. As a 70-something male, I was skeptical that SI could benefit me in any appreciable way, so I was pleasantly surprised when my posture, balance, self-image and general sense of wellbeing all improved. I’m now finished with the 10-series series and I’m already looking forward to a “tune up” session with Kalou in the not-too-distant future.

I found my way into the practice of Kalou Eichholz by way of glowing recommendations from multiple satisfied clients. So many in the Salida and Crestone area have experienced healing of their complex body ailments from her well-honed skills. Eichholz has a deep understanding of human anatomy and a high level of clinical expertise and professionalism. What is extra special, however, is her natural ability to put you completely at ease during every aspect of a ten series treatment and beyond.
As a practicing physician and aging outdoor enthusiast I had a negative neurologic workup for neck pain, arm pain, and arm weakness that would not relent despite two years of all manner of therapies. Finally, after a ten series of S.I. with Eichholz my pain disappeared, and my strength gradually began to return. Four months later with no maintenance sessions, I’m currently lifting heavier than ever at the gym, and managing a full clinical caseload pain-free and stronger. But I am coming back for more sessions! Because at 60, I still have more rivers to row, hut trips to ski and fourteeners to climb. Thank you Kalou!

Structural Integration was recommended to me for some physical rejuvenation. I was feeling fine at the time but had no idea what I would learn and how my body would transform by going through the 10 series. Kalou is a talented practitioner who is extremely knowledgeable and mindful in her practice. With each session I felt more grounded in my body as my posture improved. Through this practice, I’ve gained a deeper sense of awareness and appreciation of my body and I’m looking forward to seeing how my body responds over the next few months. I highly recommend Kalou to anyone who is interested in this work.

I recently completed the 10-series with Kalou and it has been a very illuminating experience. As a dance educator and mother, I had body patterning that was limiting my movement and giving me the sensation of being squished. Beginning the work, I wasn't sure what to expect, however, after the first session I felt as though my body had already expanded. Since completing the series, I have experienced such benefits as improved proprioception, a deepened body awareness, reformed alignment, and a general feeling of fascial expansion. I am so grateful for Kalou's detailed explanations, attention to the client's well-being and their unique patterning, and her effective technique. My friends and children are now clients - If you're considering trying Structural Integration, I highly recommend connecting with Kalou."

I chose to do this SI 10-series with Kalou because of my scoliosis, feeling uneven and not carrying myself properly. I wanted to find more space throughout my body and remove energy blockages. I knew that with the 10-series, I could get a clean fresh slate. Being an avid hiker, and having recently walked the Camino Frances, I was looking to walk/hike in a more balanced way without pain and with better alignment.
SI is interactive. Focusing one's breath and following Kalou's guidance are integral to getting maximum benefit from her work. Kalou was super attentive and open to my feedback throughout each session.
Her setting is calming, warm, and quiet. She exudes positive energy, knows her practice, and ensures that you are absolutely comfortable at all times.
Without our health, we have nothing because pain can completely overwhelm our body, mind, spirit and psyche. For me, SI eliminates pain caused by the imbalances in my body and likely years of unhealthy patterning. SI helps me become aware of how to refocus, relearn and repattern by carrying myself in a new and different way thanks to Kalou's work, tips and guidance. Mountains of thanks, Kalou!
