Messages of the Body…
“A special kind of harmony that is beyond words.“

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.
Rubenfeld Synergy is an integrative somatic therapy, designed to meet each part of us with compassion, presence, and safety, soothing the nervous system and allowing for new movement and awareness.
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.
The International Association of Rubenfeld Synergists (INARS) is a membership organization to support and provide resources for Rubenfeld Synergists who are in Training and/or have graduated. Additionally, our website is for anyone who is interested in learning more about the Rubenfeld Synergy Method (RSM); Ilana Rubenfeld, our Founder; and the Rubenfeld Educational Training and Resources.
