Odile Atthalin MA

I would like to preface this by first saying, I have always had a very high level of skepticism when people start throwing around the word sacred and the like. And I genuinely have found that a lot of body work, though well intentioned, always leaves me feeling, like something that I can’t put my finger on, is just ever so slightly off. I am delighted to report that this is not the case here. When Odile touches you, you will really feel like you are getting the best gift ever. It doesn’t get more authentic than this. Even if you feel like a perfectly healthy, dialed in human, the Rosen Method is pure art, the very best kind. And when you are in the hands of someone like Odile, you are going to leave wanting thank her a million times, for making you feel something really amazing that you haven’t felt for a really long time. I need more stars for this review.

I found Odile thanks to Unilocal and Lee R’s review. I couldn’t agree more. I was looking for a Rosen worker, as I know the work to be gentle and respectful. I called Odile after reading the review and got an immediate response. I have been working with Odile for over a year now. She has the kind of presence that speaks to the fibers of your being,. I know that she will be present for whatever happens to arise during a session. I am very grateful to have found her.

Odile is amazing!
She has been helping me for years. I have introduced her and the Rosen Method to several friends of mine as well.
Odile is filled with compassion and love and anyone who gets time with her is lucky. I personally cherish every moment I get to work with Odile.
People ask me about Odile and the Rosen Method … so following is the information I found about her listed on the Rosen Method web page: It is her description and her contact information. She is one of the most special people I have ever met … in and out of Berkeley.

«I was born and raised in France where I completed my MA in Clinical Psychology. In 1971, I went to India and had a Kundalini awakening, through direct touch that changed my life and the focus of my quest. I landed in my body and realized its sacredness as the locus of the divine within. I would spend the next 12 years deepening this initial experience steeped in the practices of meditation, yoga, chanting, and Indian and Sufi dance. Eventually I needed to integrate the teachings of western psychology with the body’s revelations. That is when I moved to Berkeley, California where I encountered what I was looking for: Rosen Method bodywork and movement. Since 1989, I have been in private practice in Berkeley, CA, and since 1996 I have been teaching Rosen Method programs in the US and Europe. Along with Rosen Method, I continue to practice meditation, yoga, Continuum movement and dance to stay connected to the inner Self.»

I have received a number of Rosen Method Bodywork sessions from Odile, over the past two years, and I can say that Odile helps my body come alive, and my mind to focus on what is important to me.
It is similar to a massage but very different, unlike any other type of bodywork I have ever received. I encourage you to try it for yourself. I think you will feel renewed and reconnected with your best self.
