Rubenfeld Synergy
A holistic therapy that integrates body, mind, spirit and emotions using gentle touch, along with verbal dialogue, active listening, Gestalt Process, imagery, metaphor, movement and humor.
Developed over 40 years ago by Ilana Rubenfeld, a symphonic conductor suffering from paralyzing muscle spasms, the Rubenfeld Synergy Method is a system that integrates body, mind, emotion and spirit. Throughout our lifetime, stress, memories and suppressed or denied emotions are stored in our bodies, affecting our health and well-being.
These "holdings," "tensions," and "aches" cause us to live feeling chronically tired, emotionally drained and physically disconnected. RSM helps us learn to listen to the body, become aware of habitual patterns and tensions and decode their messages empowering us to make concrete improvements in our daily lives and relationships. The uniqueness of Rubenfeld Synergy lies in the use of talk and touch together. Touch heightens awareness, both emotionally and physically, and allows us to explore levels that are difficult to access through talk alone.
