Rosen Method invites a deepening inner awareness through touch, and encourages observation and acceptance of thoughts and feelings that have been tucked away from conscious consideration in your body.

When you open to your unconscious thoughts and feelings in the safety of a Rosen session, the truth of your experience emerges and can be validated, often in ways that you missed as a child. With growing self-awareness and the regular opportunity to explore what has been hidden from your view, you can begin to release thoughts and feelings that no longer serve you. You can begin to make new choices in the areas of life that are important to you.

Rosen Method bodywork is practiced on a massage table. Sessions are fifty minutes and generally begin with the client lying facedown on the massage table. Later the client will be asked to turn over. Pillows can be used to support the body and increase comfort. A light covering drapes the client over underwear or loose comfortable clothing and is turned back to allow the practitioner to see how the breath moves through the body and to observe responses in the skin, muscles and body posture as the session deepens.

Rosen touch is distinguished for being gentle and direct. Though gentle, it is a powerful tool for lasting relief, stress reduction and for uncovering the source of pain and discomfort. In response to my receptive, “listening” hands, tight muscles can relax, fixed attitudes and hidden emotions come forth creating the possibility of being fully seen, heard and accepted.
