The last weekend in October was a memorable time in Oaks, Pennsylvania. Quite unexpectedly, and very early for that part of the country, a significant snowstorm occurred!! It took a lot of folks by surprise! The other unexpected event that occurred was a presentation at the Mind/Body/Spirit Expo, conducted by Joe Weldon, Master Synergist and Co-Director of the Rubenfeld Training Institute. About 25 people, most of who had never heard of Rubenfeld Synergy were surprised and amazed by the gentle power of the work and the mind/body/spirit awareness they experienced— that connection that is their natural birthright!!

Recently, a member of one of my LinkedIn Groups, Maarten Aalberse, shared this interesting article about the communication of different emotions through touch.

Research now is revealing that we can decipher the emotion behind the touch, even with our eyes and from a distance. Continue reading

Take a moment to listen to the way Ilana so elegantly describes this work, what led her to it, and what she is focusing on now in these later years.

And now I’ve come to understand that the more I work with clients and bring them to physical and emotional awareness, the more I learn about all aspects of myself … a genuine bonus! Continue reading
As I was looking out my office window I saw her car make a quick left into my driveway. As the car climbed further up the driveway I could see through the two panes of glass {my office window and her windshield} her shoulders. They looked squeezed together like two unmatching pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. She is my ten o’clock appointment. Let’s call her Betty. I moved from my window which is in the front of my home office to the back door which is the entrance to my office. I watched Betty park her car and walk to the door. Her shoulders were stiff as if they were being held together by superglue. Continue reading

Working with clients after injury, illness or surgery is something I really enjoy. I find that assisting them with re-connecting with the affected body part and processing emotions related to their experiences facilitates and accelerates the healing process. Continue reading
