What to Expect in a Symmetric Rolling Session:

First we’ll sit and speak about the reason you are seeing me and work out the details of your medical history. Then we’ll do a few movement and postural assessments, take before photos and I will be giving feedback along the way. Once the session begins we will be utilizing different sized wooden spheres and dowels on specific fascia lines in the body using your body weight to release adhesions. You are in control the entire session. I am there to guide you and keep you on the proper lines and encourage you while you work through the tightness and or pain. You may feel unusual heat/energy moving through the body, pain, a sense of euphoria and release among other movements in the structure that you possibly haven’t experienced before. In laymans terms it’s a massage multiplied by 100 but you get to control how fast and how intense it is. After, we will assess your feelings on the areas of complaint, take an after photo and discuss your results. I will ask you to drink as much water as possible within 24 hours of the work, minimum being 96 ounces. If you do not drink water you will be very sore. If you drink water you will not. I will follow up the next day to ask about soreness and results and discuss a future appointment.

Symmetric Rolling by Stephanie Lay Fitness

Why did I create Symmetric Rolling, this new self body work method?

I was pigeon toed on my left leg, among a long list of injuries and symmetry problems, for 27 years (2007). I developed a system called SYMMETRIC ROLLING deriving inspiration from NASM’s “foam roller” system.  My system, Symmetric Rolling has corrected my chronic pain problems including my posture and fluidity of movement.

In 2007 I had upgraded the typical foam roller to a hard cardboard cylinder and started using a dense rubber ball to get into areas the “typical foam roller” couldn’t address. While training pro surfers in Bali, I had a HUMONGOUS insight while rolling a friend’s hamstrings out on my rubber ball. Her leg was shaking from all the blocked energy shooting out… when I touched her foot to the hardwood floor the shaking stopped like the wood grounded the energy.  If you have ever used a Lomi Lomi/massage stick that is wood versus plastic you can feel the difference. I made the first wooden Mana Ball in Bali, Indonesia in 2010, and took it home to Hawaii to help my clients and friends learn to heal themselves. Since beginning this body alignment journey of breaking bad bio-mechanical patterns in my own body, I noticed bad patterns in my mind also started to disappear.

Symmetric Rolling has changed my life since developing the Mana Ball and Rebel Rollers.  With my education (BS-Kinesiology, TWU) and over 10 years experience working with people, I realized that this method was something so significant I had to get it out to the rest of the world.

I believe by increasing my flexibility, my vibration also has increased attracting me to the perfectly timed opportunity to be here right now, sharing this information with you.  I left Hawaii (heaven on earth) in February 2011, to take Symmetric Rolling and the Mana Balls and Rebel Rollers to Santa Monica, California in hopes of spearheading a movement, showing people that one can live pain free through self healing aka Symmetric Rolling.

Now I am back, refined and confident bringing a fully developed product home to the island of Oahu. I have seen people perform modern day medical miracles on themselves with this method through all natural wooden Mana Balls and Rollers, and utilizing the equipment to change the fascia in their body to a healthy thriving youthful tissue as it once was intended.

Rebel Rollers

During the session, I am your guide as you travel through your restricted, inflexible areas of mal-alignment increasing blood flow, energy and vibration.  Nothing else on earth I’ve tried works as good as wood, a sustainable/biodegradable product that can last.  Thank you Mother Earth!  Speaking of… With every purchase of a Mana Ball/Rebel Rollers or any Symmetric Rolling equipment, you will receive a tree seed.  Purpose as follows

This fruit tree seed is for you, as a gift with your Mana Ball.  All I ask is that you make a choice to plant this tree to replace the one that made your ball.  As you grow and evolve your tree will also and will provide food for you and your loved ones.

I aim to create an awareness with this seed that will teach our human family that there is a symbiotic relationship with the earth.  What you take from the earth you must give back the same and personally I say give more because the scale shows the earth is due for some love from her human inhabitant tribe.  I wish you and your seed amazing growth reaching for the sun, standing tall by mother nature’s side.

Gifts from da Aina - Mana Balls

My inspiration for the name “Mana Ball” comes from Hawaii where I first invented Symmetric Rolling.  ”MANA”- A supernatural force believed to dwell in a person or sacred object.  There is energy in each Mana Ball from the tree it comes from.  I believe the wood grounds negative energy in your body and gives you the grounded love energy of the tree who gave it’s life to help improve yours.

I engrave each checker logo on all the equipment produced by hand. This checker represents the Balinese culture’s respect of the light and the dark in everything and everyone, also known as yin/yang or the balance.  Also, in the Hawaiian Culture checkers represents woven threads signifying the strength of a Warrior.  My Cherokee and Choctaw Native American heritage also brings a strength of warrior to help guide you through your own healing journey with Symmetric Rolling. The checker print on my left forearm was the inspiration as these cultures directly influenced the creation of the Mana Ball and my own personal healing.  Now it can enhance yours.

My name is Stephanie Lay… nice to meet ya and yes I am no longer pigeon toed to this day.  I roll myself out an average of once a week and I have never felt more aligned, athletic and vital in my life.
