Reichian Therapy

Reichian Therapy is a non-verbal "breathing" therapy. Whereas "talk" is a great way to avoid what you're feeling, there is no way to avoid your feelings while lying there breathing in a Reichian Therapy session. Over time, chronically stiff and hard muscles that are blocking sensation and energy flow will soften. Eventually, the rage we hold in our muscles will surface, giving way to more feelings of pleasure, freeing blocked energy and sexual dysfunction.

We spend an enormous part of our energy holding back basic needs and feelings which we've learned were not OK. An effective way to free these blocked energies, release anger and reawaken to your natural vitality and pleasure is through the breathing, movement and sounds of Reichian sessions.

For over 25 years, Michele has been helping people come alive to their sexuality and joy of life with Reichian Therapy. For more information, contact Michele by sending email or by calling 415-775-6145.

Michele T. Newmark, M.S., D.D., ACS

Born and raised in southern California, Michele attended Chiropractic College in 1973 and earned her Bachelor's degree in psychology in 1977, under Dr. Phillip Curcuruto D.C. who brought Reichian Therapy to the West Coast over 60 years ago. She received her Master's degree in biology with clinical emphasis in nutritional biochemistry in 1987, the same year she relocated to Northern California with her two young, home-born children. While continuing her Reichian Therapy and nutrition practice, she also formulated her own signature line of botanical fragrances, massage oils & incense, "Yakshi," establishing her small manufacturing business nationwide for over 12 years.

Michele is a masterful Reichian Therapist and teacher in ways of giving and receiving pleasure. She has been involved in the academic and personal study of human sexuality since 1969. The basis of her work is grounded in Reichian Therapy and the works of Dr. Wilhelm Reich. She received one of her degrees and over 35 years of personal training under the tutelage of Dr. Deborah Curcuruto, Ph.D., and Dr. Philip Curcuruto, D.C. Stemming from a chiropractic orientation, Michele utilizes Dr. Philip Curcuruto's "Cranial-Vegetotherapy", one of the most original contributions to the modalities of Reichian Therapy. The cranial technique, which removes stress in the cranial sutures, reestablishing normal pulsatory movement of cerebrospinal fluid and in turn normal muscular reaction in the body, contributes to the broader prospective of Reichian Therapy. She also holds classes on "Tantra, Yoga and Breath, an Exploration of Sexual Energy" and "The Tantric Art of Self-Pleasuring for Women". Michele currently has a private practice in Santa Rosa and in San Francisco at The Center for Healing and Expression. 415-775-6145. info(at)thecenter-sf.org. Michele is board certified by The American College of Sexologists.

"Knowledge, work, and natural love are the sources of our life. They should also govern it." —Wilhelm Reich, "The Function of the Orgasm"

Michele also teaches classes in Tantra and Sexuality. We have included a description here to give a more complete representation of her work.
