We are sad to announce that Marion Rosen passed away Wednesday night, January 18, at the age of 97.
She died peacefully in her sleep at home in Berkeley, surrounded by loving friends and family. Marion had a stroke on December 8, which did not seem very debilitating at first, as she was able to move her limbs and speak following it. But her energy and appetite never fully returned and she gradually grew weaker as the days went by. After a month in the hospital, Marion returned to her beloved home in Berkeley and spent her final weeks there. She was blessed with a relatively brief transition that was quite free of pain and suffering. Her death was magnificent, as her life was. She will be greatly missed in the Rosen community as our founder and guiding light.
Marion's family is arranging a memorial service. We will notify you when the arrangements for that are announced.
We will always remember Marion's unique contribution and inspiration, and her unassuming words of wisdom over a long and productive life.

"This work is about transformation - from the person we think we are to the person we really are" Marion Rosen |

Rosen Method bodywork is a powerful tool for stress reduction and for reaching the body / mind connection through touch. It is a type of complementary health care often recommended by doctors, psychotherapists and chiropractors as an adjunct to their treatment. Rosen Method is effective in easing chronic tension and its ill effects on the mind and body. It is a valuable technique for personal growth and for finding the path of the heart and soul in one's life and living more fully in the present.
Rosen Method bodywork is often used by people who are seeking relief from headaches, back pain, muscle tension, joint pain, injuries, insomnia, and chronic conditions like asthma and chronic fatigue. The work can be supportive for people with eating disorders and healing for survivors of physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse.
Rosen Method is distinguished by its gentle, direct touch. Using hands that listen rather than manipulate, the practitioner focuses on chronic muscle tension. As relaxation occurs and the breath deepens, unconscious feelings, attitudes, and memories may emerge.
The Rosen practitioner has been trained to notice subtle changes in muscle tension and shifts in the breath.
As this process unfolds, habitual tension and old patterns may be released, freeing the client to experience more aliveness, new choices in life, and a greater sense of well-being.
