In Rosen Method, the client’s story is not fundamental; the underlying goodness, wholeness, essence or being is fundamental.

WELCOME
Welcome to the community portal for the Rosen Method Professional Association of North America (RMPA-NA). The purpose of this website is to bring together working RMPA-NA professionals to exchange knowledge & ideas, share resources and continue the important and essential work of Marion Rosen.
From time to time, RMPA-NA will be hosting events (mostly on Zoom) by our esteemed colleagues and experts in the field of somatic bodywork and trauma and such. We encourage you to inform us of events you believe will be of service to our members. We also invite our colleagues to share ideas with our steering committee so we can create the content that is relevant to your practice.
This is an inclusive space where respect toward one another is essential to civil sharing. We strive to support each other always. Imagine this space as a virtual sharing circle where humility and kindness are grounding intentions.
Our current steering committee consists of Jetta Van Hemert, Jeanie C. Williams, Patricia “Patty” Angelina, Sarah Hampton and Adria Dockrell (as our IT and website maintenance facilitator).
We are here to be of service to the vastly divergent Rosen community. Let us know how we can best support you, your practice and Rosen work at large.
