| Bodywork | Barry Bruder, Ms.T.Barry Bruder Ms.T. has been studying the healing arts for over 30 years, integrating this knowledge with bodywork to create his own unique approach to healing called Bodywurx®, a synthesis of deep-tissue bodywork, emotional release, energy medicine and a deeper look into unhelpful patterns of holding in the physical, emotional, mental and psychic bodies. This body-mind approach helps individuals to give themselves permission to bring about resolution to some of their unresolved issues and unfinished business. Barry has a private practice on the west side of Los Angeles, where he uses Bodywurx® to benefit people afflicted with critical and chronic illnesses, and utilizes his training in externalization to enable people to release the deep emotional scars created by trauma, severe pain and anger. Barry also teaches "crisis management communication skills" or empathic listening. "Working with Barry for over four years has taken my emotional well-being to a level never imagined by me, despite years of psychoanalysis and cognitive therapy. Barry is truly a master of the body mnd connection, so often espoused by me in dealing with my own patients as a cardiologist. He provides a safe, caring environment for body mind release work. Indeed, Barry is a gift from God to all who are privaleged to know and work with him." ~Howard Elkin, M.D. (310) 463-7160 barrybruder@aol.com www.bodywurx.com |

"I have benefited immensely from my work w/ Dr. Morel and her associate Kathy Bernstein. They both have an extraordinary capacity to unreservedly give unconditional love, acceptance, and support. They have taught me, by example, how to give this to myself and others. In addition, they have likewise helped me identify and release blockages that have prevented me from moving forward in my life. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has not benefited from traditional psychotherapy or to those who have benefited but would like to go even deeper. Their innovative approach to problem solving is shorter in duration and more effective than other approaches that I have tried." ~Donna L.

Pax is now Co-Director of Passages, and it was his idea to create Passages so others could benefit from this most wonderful treatment.
