What is SourcePoint Therapy?
SourcePoint Therapy® (SPT) is an energy-based modality that reconnects the body to the information—called the Blueprint—that supports its inherent health, using only minimal physical touch.
It is a simple yet deeply comprehensive approach that works on all levels: structural, emotional, and spiritual.
Background of Its Founders – A Journey through Zen, Art, and Energy
SPT was developed by Rolfers Donna Thomson and Bob Schrei, both longtime practitioners of Zen meditation.
Bob Schrei held a deep interest in art, architecture, geometry, healing, and intuition.
His quest extended beyond Rolfing’s structural approach—he sought to understand how to work with the flow of energy.
The therapy emerged from a concern that the “importance of energy flow,” as spoken of by Ida Rolf during her lifetime, had not yet been systematized.
From Meditation to Clinical Practice – Sessions Rooted in Experience
SPT originated when Donna began working with clients who were challenging to treat.
Drawing from insights gained through her Zen meditation practice, she began applying those insights clinically.
She discovered that profound effects could be achieved without touching the body directly, by “working with the field.”
Together with Bob Schrei, she systematized this approach.
It spread through word-of-mouth among the Rolfing community and was eventually established as SourcePoint Therapy®.
What is “Health template”? – The Blueprint of the Body
At the core of SPT is the belief that the body contains an inherent Blueprint—an energetic template that guides it toward health and order.
This concept draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including Native American wisdom, Tibetan medicine, Kabbalah, and modern physics’ field theories.
It can be likened to accessing the Internet through the body’s energy field—searching for “health” and downloading the Blueprint.
It is not about acquiring knowledge but trusting the process. SPT is an energy practice rooted in this trust.
What Happens When We Access Health template/field?
SPT guides the body to reconnect with health template by accessing specific points in and around the body through minimal touch.
Practitioners do not “send energy.” Rather, they create a space in which the client’s energy field can begin to work on its own, connecting with well-organized information.
Each point accessed affects the body on physical, emotional, and mental levels, drawing out the body’s natural healing potential.
It is a holistic modality that produces clear, tangible changes in the body.
Key Points and Techniques Used in SPT:
- Diamond Point / Rectangle Point / Sacral Point
(Connect with the Blueprint) - Guardian Point
(Acts as a “chaperone” to reintegrate structural alignment) - Scan
(Identifies and gently releases blockages in the field)
SPT and Shamanism – A Shared Emphasis on “Relational Healing”
The founders, Bob and Donna, have noted the deep parallels between SPT and traditional shamanic practices.
In shamanism, illness is often seen as a breakdown in the relationship between the individual and nature or the spiritual world.
It is also believed that external negative energies may contribute to illness.
The role of the shaman is to repair these relationships through ritual, imagery, and prayer.
This aligns with the purpose of SPT:
To remove external interference and reconnect with healthy information.
“Shamans and SPT practitioners both remove what blocks the flow of energy from the outside.”
“But with SPT, it’s simple—you just need to access the Blueprint.”
— Bob Schrei
This non-invasive and simple approach is the essence of SPT. No complex rituals or special knowledge are required.
All that is needed is to quietly hold space and trust the innate wisdom of the body.
