The Gentle BioEnergetics Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the life work of Dr. Eva Reich by providing education, training and therapy in Gentle Bio-Energetics to enhance the quality of life for all age groups.
Eva Reich, MD, daughter of Wilhelm Reich, coined the term Gentle Bio-Energetics to describe her development of his work. The process evolved as: |
|
 |
- she observed her father's gentle work with babies and children;
- she developed Butterfly Touch Massage while working with premature babies at Harlem Hospital (1951-1952) and during her rural Maine medical practice; and
- she taught workshops worldwide, (1975-1992) as she continued to refine and develop Gentle Bio-Energetics.
Gentle Bio-Energetics is an educational and therapeutic model that integrates verbal and body therapies for healing and growth. The gentle aspect refers to the non-invasive role of the therapist/helper, who nurtures with both touch and verbal interventions. Bio-Energetics refers to the individual's life energy; how it flows freely or is blocked by armor, which results from traumatic life experiences. |
