Ilan Lev Method Bodywork

The Ilan Lev Method (ILM) is an innovative form of hands-on bodywork that transforms pain into relief, tension into easeful mobility, and emotional stagnation into playful inspiration. ILM also offers effective support for recovery from injury and functional blockages.

With a dynamic range of approaches to listening, moving, and responding to a client’s unique needs, ILM practitioners introduce new patterns of movement into the body. They use gentle, rhythmic movements, rocking motions, and provocative playfulness of pacing to disrupt patterns of gripping and activate the body’s natural ability to reorganize habituated tension to heal itself. Patients are fully clothed during treatments.

I was introduced to Ilan Lev Method by Annie Rigney, and have had the great honor to train with the founder, Ilan Lev. I will be fully complete with certification in June 2026, and am currently accepting donation-based, sliding scale clients while in final completion segment of training. - Rhys
