Awareness Through Touch - Private Rosen Method Bodywork sessions combine gentle, direct touch and verbal dialog to invite awareness into the body, creating the opportunity to experience yourself from within, underneath physical and emotional habits.

Rosen Method is an holistic process of deep body-mind spirit exploration from the inside out. This gentle, yet profound method of touch bypasses the thinking mind, reaching past the body and into the person, inviting the client into a state of embodied self-awareness. This is the feeling state of awareness which is in the present moment; being aware of body sensations and any emotions/feelings. Listening touch helps the client listen deeply to their body. Rosen Method promotes relaxation, awareness, being, acceptance, allowing, letting go, surrendering, freedom and peace.
