Woman that came for a neck and shoulder relaxation break of 20 minutes in an public event

I just wanted to share something special with you. I have been running like a madwoman these last couple of weeks. November and December are a killer. Yesterday, I was at the Lipstick Brunch with LeilaLip and Rita Rütsche, fellow Womenpreneurs, both of whom I met because of this group. I was full of aches and pains but chose to ignore it all and keep going, as usual. I have responsibilities, after all, family, home, business, amazing friends and acquaintances, and way too many fabulous events and parties to ignore! Rita invited me to her space for Mieux Vivre, where she practices the Grinberg and MLC methods for well being. I just wanted to tell you how she helped me to relax, destress, clear my mind and focus though massage and breathing, all in a matter of minutes. Yes, minutes! It was mainly a Francophone crowd, so I had to speak mainly French all day, which for me, it is stressful and exhausting, but necessary, living in Geneva. Well, the afternoon went by in a flash. Last night I had the best sleep I’ve had in a long time, and today I woke up with practically no pain, clear headed and energised. Rita is a miracle worker, my new best friend and definitely my new therapist.  I would highly encourage everyone to take time out and let her help refocus and reset our amazing bodies and minds! I am sharing this post because I think many of us and our families can benefit from this beautiful and fabulous woman and her talents…

 

Testimony of M.A., woman of 24 years, 8 sessions

As you know, I came because I felt tired, miserable and unable to get out of bed in the morning some days. Everything felt too hard and I felt small, overwhelmed and incredibly sad. The treatments with you allowed me a space of quiet reflection and a space where I could meet some of these feelings and explore them. Through whatever magic it is you do, I felt more able to address and understand these feelings. I felt as though I could literally (and figuratively) breath again. These sessions gave me strength and courage to change things about my life that didn’t work for me, big and small. Mostly, they were things I already knew I didn’t like, but didn’t have the energy, or skills, to transform without your guidance. So thank you for your guidance, and laughter too.

R.G. , femme, 59 ans, testimonial after the workshop “Retourner à la Source” 

It was really a very pleasant experience the workshop “retour a la source”.  The different techniques we experimented were very helpful. I felt relaxed and peaceful afterwards.  Besides, there were very enjoyable moments during the breaks, walking, lunch and breakfast, and LOL as well.

Many thanks for your kind and focused guidance.

 

Testimony of J.H. after an intervention at a 2 days business meeting teaching tools of relaxation and concentration

I greatly enjoyed our session with you. I was driven by curiosity before it but must admit that I was a bit nervous how the team would take it as well. I worked with the RESILENCE Institute of Geneva before so had an idea how valuable these sort of exercises can be and as a matter of fact they were again. We in fact had a very honest, deep and energized discussion over dinner that is remembered as one of the moments of truth during the program despite having had a long day that day. This was certainly enabled by the session with you.

I think your biggest asset (next to your extended experience) is your voice. You hit the right tone and speed during the relaxation part so that we gained enough trust to do the somewhat awkward moves thereafter and found joy with each other.

I truly believe that any extended meeting shall have designed breaks for breathing, relaxation, movement, stretching … . I also see capabilities in these areas as being an important leadership skill as it helps breaking patterns, quieting our mind and prepare for the difficult discussions and engagements every true leader shall focus his/her attention on.

 

Testimony of E. A. – Retreat at Bogève

It was a fantastic experience for me. During the intensive course I learned more about myself, realised how many pain I create in my body and where some reactions are coming from. The most important was that I learned how to be more present and trust the body, not just mind.
  • The place for the session is absolutely fantastic. It is well located – it is easy to get there and at the same time you feel that you are far away from the civilisation. Nothing takes your attention from the practice. The rooms are comfortable and the food is fantastic.
  • I had several intensive sessions and each time it was extremely useful for me. Each time I learned new things and met new great people from whom I also learned a lot.
  • My therapist Rita Rutsche and the methods she employs helped me tremendously. I suffered from the pain in belly for many years and now I have control over it. The chronic pain in the back and shoulders disappeared. My mood is more stable and I feel much better in many ways.
  • The main issue with what I come to Rita was the lack on possibility to control my emotions under pressure. I would easily cry if someone criticise me or if I feel being treated unfairly. It was very embarrassing for me to cry in front of people, but I could not stop it. The tears would come themselves and in 99% I would know that it is an overreaction. For many years I was not able to “cure” myself from this. The psychotherapy help me a lot in many ways, but it did not help me with the tears. I tried the NLP with the personal coach and it did not work either. Only with Rita’s guidance I realised how much I was disconnected from my body and learned how to stop my automated reactions. My problem in finally gone and I am extremely happy about this.

 

Testimony of Daniel Lutz – Retreat at Bogève

“I’d had a half-dozen or more Grinberg sessions when the opportunity came up to do an intensive weekend in Bogève. I’d had such good results with the regular sessions that I was pretty sure that there would be some break-throughs with an intensive weekend. And I was right. If it wasn’t the best present I’d ever given myself, I can’t think of what was. “Intensive” was certainly the right word – and it started exactly the kind of shift I was looking for. The intensity of the individual sessions however, was nicely balanced by the group sessions at the beginning and end of each day, and by the relaxed atmosphere and surroundings of the lodge where we stayed. A final positive note was the really excellent food. Often at retreats like this, the food is bearable, but nothing to get excited about. It’s safe to say that we were very excited about meal times – they never disappointed. All in all, a well-organized and personally profitable weekend – highly recommended.”

 

Testimony following individual sessions

A.R., man of 44 years, 2 children, testimony after 11 sessions

Starting point:

I had a tense belly, was nervous and kept all my problems inside my belly. I was so used to act like this that I was not aware. Actually in one of the first sessions I thought I was fine and fit. It was during the work on my belly that I realised, that all was very tense in my belly and that in fact I had accumulated a lot of tensions in the low part of my body.

The sessions:

The first sessions allowed me to realise the problem, to understand that on the surface all seemed well but that it was different inside. I also realised that the pace of my life was too high and that I needed to change certain habits. I also learned to manage certain situations of stress differently. For example on my first concert of Johnny Halliday I had for unclear reasons the same symptoms like when I flew back in the plane from my recent holiday in April. The place (outdoor stadium) and the atmosphere (about 35’000 people) were different elements. At a certain moment I felt pain in my belly, I had strong vertigo and started sweating heavily. I was going to panic or was already panicking. I remembered then what I had learned in the sessions and I started breathing calmly trying to reach the place where I felt the pain. I managed then to calm down and the pain and malaise disappeared.

With the on-going sessions, I steadily managed better these situations and I started « feeling » my belly.

The continuation:

These sessions allowed me to better manage my body and before all to learn to listen to it. I changed a few habits (rhythm of food-intake, pace of work, durations of breaks, etc.) and I also learned to better live certain situations of tensions and evacuate my stress. Today I feel I have my feet more on the ground.

Thanking:

I am happy to thank Mrs Rütsche for her faculty to reveal the “weak point” and especially to open my mind to reflections in favour of my well-being.

Thank you so much for your kindness and your extreme skills.

  

L.B., woman, 58 years, married, 4 children, 6 sessions

I’m interested in all kinds of alternative therapies for wellness, but found the Grinberg method especially helpful.  I usually want someone to just “fix” whatever happens to be bothering me from backache to hypothyroidism.  But the Grinberg method asks you to participate in your healing, and to really be aware of what you are doing that might be contributing to your issue, or to be able to minimize it.

Rita is an extremely gifted practitioner.  She gently talks to you and while using reflexology and targeted bodywork, she draws out feelings, actions or postures that help you understand what is going on with your body.  She has a way of connecting things that you cannot clearly see by yourself.  You feel safe with her, and she truly cares.

There is something special about Rita.  I am so grateful that I somehow found her.  She has helped me tremendously.  I don’t really know how she does it, I just know that she does it very well.

 

M.S. girl, 16 years, 12 sessions

I had very strong cramps in my low belly before I went to see Rita. Sometimes so strong that I could not attend school and just lay in bed or take painkillers.  On top of this I could not sleep and stayed awake during many nights. When I came to my first session with Rita I had no idea what was awaiting me. I found the body work with Rita right from the beginning very pleasant even though I can be sometimes a bit sensitive. I was very surprised how much better I already felt after the first session even though the bellyaches took more time to disappear. In this process Rita helped me a lot to find out more about the origins of these cramps and gave me exercises to fight my behaviour patterns. A very important point that Rita pointed out to me was that emotions are ok. I am today still fascinated when I realize how fear disappears when I, in the first place, « allowed her » to exist. My bellyaches have today as good as disappeared. I have the feeling that I become the longer the more authentic and recognize what I want and need to have fun in life and this is a big joy. 

C.R. woman of 39 years, 7 sessions

Rita and her Grinberg treatment methods had an extraordinary effect – I didn’t realise how impactful this treatment could be both for the mind and the body simultaneously and in such a short space of time. I really feel that I have been able to release much from my past that has been holding me back and have a new excitement about the future. Rita has a natural gift with this treatment and has been a real pleasure to work with.
