Jared and Ashley Fitzgerald grew up in North Carolina, have been married for 19 years, and have four children together. They have been wearing and recommending minimalist shoes to anyone who would listen since 2010 and first started wearing Xero Shoes in 2016. \xa0 Ashley has been a Certified Rolfer® since 2019 and an Advanced Rolfer since 2023. After dealing with several years of debilitating hip pain following a C-section delivery, and her doctors not having any answers, she desperately searched for a solution. That solution was Rolfing. Rolfing allowed her to stop watching life go by from the couch and get back to living it again. She believes that making a meaningful difference in one person’s life has made becoming a Rolfer worth it. In her spare time, she enjoys moving her body in various ways, including hiking, jiu-jitsu, and lifting weights. She is currently working towards completing her Rolf Movement® certification in 2025. \xa0 Jared has been a registered nurse since 2012 and a Certified Rolfer® since 2021. He has been interested in health and wellness since he was a teenager due to various injuries and surgeries negatively impacting his gait, balance, and posture. Like many people, he was skeptical of Rolfing and thought it was silly and didn’t work, even after seeing it help Ashley. It wasn’t until Ashley started working on him that he acknowledged that it was something special. He decided to become a Rolfer while working as a travel nurse during the COVID lockdown, after he realized he was burnt out and frustrated with the state of modern healthcare. He wants to help people age with grace so they can enjoy a happier, more fulfilling, active life. Some of his interests include jiu-jitsu, disc golf, and thrifting. He is working towards completing his Advanced Rolfing certification in 2025. |
