CONNECTIONS: Rosen Method Bodywork with Dorothea Hrossowyc is for people who have wishes and visions of what life really could be like. It is for those who wish to use a holistic approach to physical and emotional health, and to empower themselves in their personal lives. It is for those wishing to

• gain more self-confidence, feelings of self-esteem, and self-worth
  
• restore their life of feelings, including their childhood ability to unconditionally love
  
• experience the power of safe, gentle, healing touch
  
• reintegrate the connections between body, mind, and spirit
  
• release emotion and tension stored in the muscles of the body and relieve the accompanying physical pain
  
• reclaim the vibrancy of their senses
  
• support continuing recovery from addictions by developing a strong sense of self
  
• become free from the effects of early childhood hurts, physical, sexual, or emotional; it is especially for those who no longer want to hold themselves back in their past painful experiences
  
• bloom into their full intelligence and creativity and live without limits

Philosophy

CONNECTIONS: Rosen Method Bodywork and Empowerment uses Rosen Method Bodywork to release tension held in the body—tension that can hold one back in life. Deep contact through gentle touch in those places of holding tension encourages awareness through relaxation, through the breath, and by connecting to the deep essence of the person. Often, painful emotions or unconscious limitations can be released, and by moving past the history of experiences, the possibilities of fuller life can unfold.

CONNECTIONS maintains that we are our own healers. We are designed to live our lives in complete creativity, with full power and intelligence, full of awe and wonder, fully connected to each other in loving cooperation. This is your inherent nature, and it is possible to live from this place. The Rosen Method practitioner can support the client's unfolding self-discovery, self-expression, and healing.

Rosen Method Bodywork is not designed as a substitute for mental health professional therapy or for treatment of medical illness. It is a holistic, alternative approach to emotional self-healing outside the medical model. It can be used, however, in an adjunct capacity, as a nationally recognized bodywork supporting and correlating with professional mental health or medical treatment, and to provide relaxation and self-care with enhanced communication between the physical body and the emotional and spiritual self.
