Being 20+ year survivor of a mastectomy for cancer, I have been seeing Abraham regularly for almost a year to work with the restriction of movement in my arm and chest using Ortho-Bionomy. I continue to be amazed that after such a long time so much progress can be made. I have much more freedom of movement and am much more centered. He has also been very helpful in suggesting ways I can move and stretch to help in between sessions.
Abraham is also using ScarWork techniques which have reduce the size and constriction of my scars. It has been so wonderful to be able to move without the pulling from the scars. My partner made the observation that the scar is turning into real skin. And that is an amazing thing.
Abraham is a compassionate, skilled and knowledgeable body worker. He meets you where you are at and treats each unique body with deep respect and modifies his treatments to be the best fit based on each individual situation. He is a very clear, respectful communicator and cheerfully offers his insight and advice on how to best take care of your body after you leave his studio. As someone who works a manual labor job and needing regular body maintenance, I deeply appreciate his healing touch. Thank you Abraham!
I have been to Abraham for help with back issues two times, and on both occasions I have been very pleased with the work he has done. Abraham listens well and is clear as he explains his appraisal of what might be causing a particular problem. After going to a body worker that did not have sensitivity, it was a welcome relief to have Abraham work on me. At the beginning of the first session, Abraham explained that his belief is that the practitioner never goes deeper than is needed or than the client feels comfortable with. He explained that when things are addressed properly the body is more relaxed and can play a very big part in its own healing. This made a lot of sense to me. It was clear to me that Abraham is well-studied and passionate about helping people. All through the sessions he checked in with me about how I was feeling, if the pressure he was applying was too much, or if more pressure might be helpful. He was most generous with the time he spent with me; and, after each session, checked in about how I was feeling before I left his office. After his work, my back felt less tight and my energy was definitely lighter. I know I will return to Abraham and I have already been singing his praises to friends. I am very grateful that he is so close and that he has the expertise and energy to help with body issues that may come up for me.
I have been studying, practicing, receiving, and teaching various somatic and bodywork modalities for 25 years. I’ve now had four sessions with Abraham Cohen. Given my background and my experience receiving his work, I would say I consider Abraham a very gifted and skilled practitioner.
Before entering the bodywork, he inquires and listens closely to my concerns and needs, then considers deeply and discusses with me what treatment strategies might be best to address them. While engaging the work, I find him to be tremendously attuned to my physical and psychological process. He responds rather seamlessly, going organically to exactly where I am feeling the need.
Abraham clearly possesses intricate knowledge of the body’s interconnected systems. He also has an empathetic bedside manner and a highly refined sensitivity and intuition. As such, working with him is incredibly fulfilling. I feel safe to be and express myself; I feel met and responded to in all our interactions.
After our last session, in which Abraham applied a series of osteopathic manual therapy techniques, I found my entire pelvis, leg, and foot alignment changed. Somatic memories and postural changes lasted for days.
As someone who has a long history doing, teaching, and receiving bodywork, I give a strong recommendation for Abraham and his work. I can attest that he has both skill and a rare, profound gift.
The healing sessions I receive from Abraham are profoundly restorative. His deep understanding of anatomy gives him the ability to listen to my body’s needs, both verbally and instinctively. His touch is reassuring and supportive, and he provides the precise kinds of pressure, adjustment, and release that help to reverse habitual tension and postural imbalances. He is very attentive as a bodyworker, and he consistently checks in throughout the session to ask whether I would like more or less pressure. After these sessions I feel lighter, both physically and energetically, because of how deeply his practice helps me to unwind and repair from anxiety, tightness, and misalignment. Abraham is a true healer, and I know that everyone would benefit from a session with him.
