Robert Auerbach

Bob Auerbach 1

 Robert’s path to become a healer began with his own healing.  He had struggled with one hip  that was higher than the other, which resulted in significant health challenges. As time went on,  walking became tiring and painful. He also had pronounced forward head posture that  contributed to upper body stress and headaches.

Having received the traditional 10-session Rolf series, Robert found that his old postural patterns and their associated aches and pains completely resolved. He experienced a new sense of ease and lift that made being in his body a joy and knew that his life purpose was to help others regain their ease and joy that they once knew in their youth.

Toward that end, Robert registered at the Health Enrichment Center, and completed the massage therapy curriculum in 1990. From 1991 through 1995 Robert operated a successful massage therapy practice at the Fairlane Club in Dearborn, Michigan.

In 1995, Robert went on to study at the Guild for Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado. At the Guild, he had the good fortune of studying with Ida Rolf’s two senior protégés. In 2001 Robert took seven weeks off from his practice to take coursework towards Advanced Training in Structural Integration. Additionally, he has taken specialized training in the use of Rolf bodywork for scoliosis.

With the passing of the years since Robert began practicing in 1996, he was asked what he finds most compelling about his work with Structural Integration. He answered, “Watching my clients change before my eyes, … watching life-long postural and structural problems disappear, … seeing their amazement as their breathing dramatically improves in the first session, and the smiles on their faces as they get off the table and find the pain and limitations they came in with, gone or significantly improved.”

In addition to his Rolf Training, Robert has been trained in Comprehensive Energy Psychology (including EFT and TAT). He has developed the Higher Self Repatterning Process for clearing out old emotional and karmic patterns quickly.

Robert is a Certified Advanced Rolfing Practitioner,  Co-founder of the Holistic Practitioners Network and member of the Associated Bodyworkers and Massage Professionals, Guild for Structural Integration and International Association of Holistic Practitioners (IAHP).

In addition to his Structural Integration practice, Robert has been co-facilitating Family Constellations workshops since 2012 and he has been practicing Chi Gong since 1998. Robert and his wife Jane have 3 adult children and 3 grandsons.
