Rosen Method Bodywork



“Rosen Method combines both, knowledge and art.

Its basic principles are:

Touching with a soft hand

Allowing the breath to flow

Going deep to meet the unconscious

And Keeping in mind the power of simplicity.”

~Marion Rosen


As Marion Rosen says, “We touch people”. It is a touch that makes contact with
the body with a soft, full hand, and somehow goes deep, to help a person know
their authentic self in a profound way.

Receiving Rosen Method bodywork is a quieting experience that allows inner
observation and awareness. As this occurs, information that has been unconscious
begins to move toward consciousness through internal physical sensations, images
and memories. Often this awareness provides insight, while at the same time, allowing affected muscular contractions of the body to return to a state of relaxation. Over
the course of a session there is a continual accumulation of tiny changes and a
general sense of simply feeling better. An intimate, personal knowledge of oneself
comes through. Through the changes, easier movement and new emotional and
cognitive choices can emerge. From this state of ease, it is possible to experience
where body, mind and spirit meet.

Students of Rosen Method are taught how to facilitate this process through learning
to know themselves. This learning is a profound process that teaches self-awareness
and the art and skill of receptive, listening touch, heart-felt presence, and the
use of words that respond rather than fix or explain. Through this learning
and intention, an environment of trust, caring and non-judgment is created
for the client.
