This last week I had bodywork done by a therapist named Shari Sunshine. These are my thoughts. Her work is different in that she uses movement techniques from the Feldenkrais Method to deepen your sense on how you move, teaching you strategies to reduce effort and increase quality of coordination. She has also integrated other techniques like ortho-bionomy and polarity therapy and has named her type of massage Syntropy.
After my session with Shari I attended a class at Juut where, Shari taught mindful touch techniques to massage therapists, estheticians, and even a stylist. In her perspective you should nurture the part of the body that feels good first, with the belief that the rest of the body will connect with that feeling and heal itself. Her emphasis on less relaxation and more awareness is in alignment with the Ida P. Rolf method of Structural Integration and, as you may know, I love that.
