Lisbeth Marcher and Child
"In the process of therapeutic change, it is not enough to just express unresolved emotions or merely grasp an intellectual understanding. We must find and activate the resources that were given up as children. In Bodynamics, we work with a precise knowledge of developmental process, movements from each developmental stage, and the specific muscles that are activated. We map patterns of restrained, collapsed, and healthy impulses occurring at each developmental age level and assist clients to build a new sense at the deepest layers of their being." - Lisbeth Marcher


Lisbeth has worked as a body psychotherapist, supervisor, instructor and consultant at numerous health care institutions, universities, and organizations in Europe and North America.

Lisbeth's pioneering work has been recognized by many leaders in the field of human growth:

"Lisbeth Marcher is the Scandinavian legacy of Whilhem Reich"
David Boadella, author of Wilhelm Reich, the Evolution of His Works

"Lisbeth Marcher's work has a precision that allows for a deep understanding of the history of the musculature which provides the basis for a very complete approach to undoing human difficulties and finding ways to increase the human potential. I have profited personally from her excellent work."
Will Shutz, author of The Human Potential
