Rosen Method UK

Rosen and Professional Training

Rosen Method Bodywork Training is designed for individuals who feel called to become a certified Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner.

The foundation of the training program are Intensive’s – week-long immersive experiences where students and teachers come together in a supportive learning environment. Each Intensive combines experiential learning, hands-on practice, and open discussion, allowing students to deepen both their professional skills and personal awareness.

Core areas of training include:

Attuned Physical Touch

Attuned Physical Touch

Rosen Method practitioners learn a unique form of receptive touch to engage the inner life and elicit information suppressed in the non-conscious. Distinct from other forms of bodywork, there is no intention to manipulate tissues or fix the person. Gentle or deep, localised or encompassing, Rosen touch has only one purpose: to “meet” and engage the client’s awareness of muscle tension and any related feelings and sensations in the present-moment; this invites release and relaxation.

Attuned Verbal Touch

Attuned Verbal Touch

In Rosen Method Bodywork there is a deep connection between language and the body’s non-conscious responses. Words can literally touch us, they have the power to influence and shape our emotional and physical responses, both when used in our past, in our present and by influencing our future experience words can set the scene for our experience. Learning how to use language authenticly, to deepen experience and to widen our perception and awareness, is a wonderful skill which we can also take into our daily life.

Presence & Listening

Presence & Listening

The practitioner's presence and gentle inquiry can help the client to tune into sensations and memories stored within the body. Presence is felt when the client senses they are with an attuned safe ‘other’, a positive and non-judgmental presence who can both facilitate and hold a safe space in which they, the client, can ‘unwind’, listen inwards, allow the release of what surfaces, and feel fully received, acknowledgement and met.

Embodied Self-Awareness

Embodied Self-Awareness

Through Rosen touch, presence and talk, clients are guided to states of ‘embodied self-awareness’, where present-moment experiencing of physical tension is linked to sensations and emotions, allowing often long-suppressed memories and feelings to emerge. This is where deep transformation happens.

Rosen Method Practitioner Training – the full training takes at least four years. It has three different stages: the first 2 Levels are open to people coming for personal development.

Level 1 (Personal Development)

The trainee is required to attend a minimum of four intensive courses and to receive at least 6 sessions from a practitioner during this Level. The trainee must successfully pass an interview to move to the next level.

LEVEL 2 (PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENHANCED SKILL DEVELOPMENT)

Students here must attend a minimum of three more intensive courses, complete eight hours of personal supervision, and receive at least 6 sessions from a practitioner. Furthermore, students are asked to attend a workshop on Professional Management and attend an interview before going on to the next level.

Trainees are also expected to obtain an Anatomy and Physiology Certificate before progressing to Level 3.

LEVEL 3 (INTERNSHIP – ABLE TO GIVE SESSIONS AND CHARGE UNDER SUPERVISION)

At this stage a trainee may start to give sessions to the public and to charge for them as an intern (practitioner-in-training). To qualify as a practitioner, however, the intern must receive at least 24 supervisions, have 25 sessions (from a qualified Rosen Method practitioner), attend 6 hours of professional consultations, attend group supervision and give sessions to a specified number of clients and fulfill the internship criteria to the standard required for qualification.
