Ilene Antelman

Ilene is a NY-based holistic practitioner of Biodynamic Craniosacral, Polarity Therapy & Somatic Experiencing offering supportive bodywork to heal body, mind & spirit. Grounded in Biodynamic Craniosacral (BCST) & Polarity, and enhanced by Somatic Experiencing, the work focuses on enabling the physical & emotional effects that took shape in the body– echoes of our experiences– to move through. In bringing awareness to what the body holds that no longer serves and releasing that residue, returns us to our wholeness in the present moment.

BCST has emerged as a leading somatic therapy for resolving the symptoms of trauma and chronic pain. BCST is a profound modality that uses light contact-touch to orient to the deeper forces within our human system. It supports the regulation of the nervous system through the release of tension and the underlying imprint of trauma that is a primary cause of stress and chronic pain in the body. BCST is particularly helpful to ease and resolve the imprint of shock and bring forth our innate resilience to daily stress. It helps restore physical health, mental clarity and emotional wellbeing. 

It is my commitment to listen to your experience of your body and find what resonates for you. Every session is unique as I respond to what is literally in hand. It's a process that at its' sweetest, engages your curiosity, expands your awareness & builds your resilience. Insight– those bright flashes of recognition & understanding- is the fruit of this inquiry as you realize your body possesses, you possess, the resources and wisdom to return to balance.
