After my counselling training I came to the conclusion that I wanted to add a discipline for healing through touch. The medium of dialogue and being in the same room together didn't feel enough -- and people I was giving random neckrubs to were having strikingly positive experiences.

I knew I could go directly to find a healing discipline that made use of the mediums of dialogue and touch, but I felt strongly that I wanted to get a separate foundation in each first. So I next went for the Muscular Therapy training, and practiced that discipline for a while.

Then when I was ready I did a survey of the established disciplines that are out there in this dialogue+touch space. The two that appealed to me most (in terms of a well-developed method and a well-organized training curriculum) were Rubenfeld Synergy and Rosen Method. I attended a weekend workshop in each and was much more impressed with Rubenfeld.
