Judith Aston has been honored as a somatic pioneer. Her mission is to assist in the integration of body, mind, spirit and environment by developing concepts and practices that challenge the traditional viewpoint of the body as linear, constrained and uni-dimensional.

She has created many movement and bodywork programs since 1963. Her first movement education program for Dr. Rolf became the foundation for Rolfing movement. Her forms of spiraling massage, Myo-Kinetics and Arthro-Kinetics have helped numerous therapists be more accurate and specific in their treatments.
