Hello!

I’m a Rosen Method bodywork intern, looking to work with folks who are interested in developing more body awareness and releasing patterns of tension/trauma. These relaxing, hands-on sessions are in some ways similar to a gentle massage and incorporate verbal feedback.

Rosen work has the potential to bring more awareness and presence to your life, thereby softening defenses and enhancing intuition, relationships and creativity. Many people also find it a helpful complementary therapy for addressing physical issues and mood/anxiety disorders.

 

 

From Rosenmethod.com

"The bodywork combines touch with verbal dialogue that guides the client’s awareness of their inner experience so that they can discover the connections between the body, mind, and emotions. This happens by bringing conscious awareness to patterns of tension and holding in the body, and inviting that tension to release if and when it feels safe to do so for the client. 

Over time, as clients experience the safe, attuned presence of the Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner, it allows tension and holding in the body to soften. What emerges are the unconscious and unfelt feelings that were blocked and created the tension in the first place. As these feelings are allowed to be met and safely felt, new possibilities for ways of being and moving through the world can be explored and expressed by the client. 

While this might sound like somatic psychotherapy (and it is indeed therapeutic to both soma and psyche), Rosen Method Bodywork is born out of Marion Rosen’s background in physical therapy, and is therefore rooted in the anatomical function of the muscles themselves. This is because all people use their musculature to express their emotions, and when emotions are not allowed or are too big to meet in the moment, we also use our musculature to repress or contain the feelings."
