MIND-BODY THERAPY

Dr. Kim Hammond-Beyer is a Certified Rubenfeld Synergist® and offers this method of dynamic integration of
body, mind, emotion, and spirit. The simultaneous use of talk therapy and gentle touch combines imagery,
movement, listening touch, and humor with reflective listening and dialogue.

The Rubenfeld Synergy® method integrates elements of Alexander, Feldenkrais, Gestalt and hypnotherapy into
a mind-body therapy that helps you to access feelings and images that have been hidden in your body for years,
creating tension, pain, and distorted perceptions. Unacknowledged feelings from past experiences that are stored
in your body unconsciously have a powerful effect upon who you are, how you behave, and how you feel about
yourself.

Sessions are usually about 45 minutes and clients are fully clothed. This method uses breathing patterns, body
posture, sound, verbal expression, movement, kinesthetic awareness, imagination, and caring touch to access
feelings. Patients are encouraged to explore the emotional and psychological roots of their tensions in order to
restore balance and harmony and facilitate healing.

Some of the benefits clients have enjoyed include:

•        Moving from habit to choice
•        New ways of relating to self, others and the world
•        Movement through grief and loss
•        Greater self-esteem
•        Resolving unfinished business
•        Increased body/mind awareness and acceptance
•        Recovery from abuse
•        Joy and celebration of life
