What is the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®?

Over the past 60 years the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®, created by Ilana Rubenfeld, has helped clients get in deeper touch with their bodies to make space for fresh perspectives, hope and positive change. Through a combination of talk and touch, this healing modality works directly with the body, mind, emotions and spirit in conversation with each other.

Certified Rubenfeld Synergists are highly trained in respectful touch, emotional groundedness, and responsive, compassionate listening. By exploring the Bodymind in a safe, supportive environment, clients discover new ways of feeling, thinking and living in their bodies.

Ilana Rubenfeld – Creator of the Rubenfeld Synergy Method®

An acclaimed music conductor from Julliard with immobilizing back pain, Ilana Rubenfeld trained in Gestalt Therapy with Fritz and Laura Perls, the F. M. Alexander Technique, and the Feldenkrais Method; and declared in the 1960’s “bodymind is one word.”

She recognized that when she simultaneously listened, talked and touched, people learned to listen to themselves. They also found wisdom, emotional freedom and ease from within.

Our community is saddened by the death of our founder, Ilana Rubenfeld on Dec 23, 2022.
We are dedicated to carrying on her work of healing individuals and the world.
