“Robin is an excellent therapist and I would highly recommend her to everyone.” February 22, 2011

I have had two types of body work with Robin Shankman, and I would say that both times, and both types of work were profound and transformative.

When I had Phenomenal Touch I was quite moved during the session. First of all, it simply feels heavenly and I could tell that there were “stuck” places in my body/mind that were loosening. At the same time, the touch itself and the movements are very intimate and healing. I later realized that I was really in an altered state after the work, and quite a bit of emotional stuff “came up” over the next few days. Wow, a lot was accomplished in a short time!

I recently had Cranial Sacral work with Robin, and I have to say that I wasn’t all that enthusiastic about it ahead of time, because I have had Cranial Sacral with a different practitioner years ago and felt that the person simply wanted to work less hard than doing a “real” massage. However, knowing Robin I was willing to take a chance, and having experienced Phenomenal Touch was also encouraging. I wanted to have body work because I had been through some very difficult times for a few months and had a lot of “lessons” that I knew needed to be consolidated in my body. From the first moment that Robin placed her hands on my feet, the experience was amazing. She said to take a breath and feel the energy in my body, not to judge it but just to watch it. I did that and all of a sudden I could “see” a block in the flow of energy near my lower back. Then, as she held her hands on my feet I could “see” the energy trying to go around the block and down my legs, which did happen. Later Robin moved up and held that spot directly. I could feel energy pulsing from her arms into my back and the blockage was slowly disappearing. Then she moved up towards my head and I could sense a blockage in my right shoulder, she worked with energy and removed the remaining blocks. Well, this is a short cut description of a process that is difficult to capture in language. Feeling the energy move in my body and being IN that space to do so was a profound experience for me and one that I have been able to reproduce for myself since that time (though not with the same intensity). I feel very safe with Robin, which I think is necessary in order to open oneself to accomplish transformation and healing.

I have recommended Robin without reservation to other friends and family and they have all been very impressed and grateful for her work.
