About the Therapist

My philosophy on body work

“The art of a good therapist is the ability to intuit exactly what the specific requirements are for each and every individual and adjust his or her treatment accordingly. The therapist has to be sensitive enough to feel the gentle dialog that occurs between the body of the client and himself, and he can thus adjust his treatment for the maximum benefit of the client. The treatment should be deep and strong as well as relaxing and nurturing. The therapist should always work from the hara, his midsection. The importance of the intention and the mood of the therapist before and during the treatment cannot be overemphasized.”
