About Rubenfeld Synergy
"About 40 years ago, Ilana Rubenfeld discovered that emotions reside and are held in the body, and that skillful touch combined with talk could release emotions and heal pain, thus freeing people to live healthier, more effective lives."
Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of "Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom"
"Until we are aware of our emotions, wholeness is impossible, since the deepest reality of our life remains hidden. We fear the darkness, giving unacknowledged emotions power over us. When they are brought to light, accompanied by appropriate touch, powerful changes take place in the brain. Old images stored as icons in the limbic system, part of our emotional circuitry, can be erased. The result is that painful old patterns are no longer automatically engaged by present experience. When touch, emotion, new language and humor are combined, healing is even more potent."
