CLIENT TALK

Rafael or as his friends and clients call him Raf, Has a wide range of study skills in helping human beings through Both physical and emotional issues in their bodies and lives. I have worked with  300+ practitioners over my 10 years in clinical practice from every discipline who are considered to be the best in the world at our Venice Beach California clinic. I have also personally treated 1500 practitioners from all over the world as personal clients. I have  found the practitioners can be divided Into Three categories. Those who Have  highly specific Knowledge, those who Have a high degree of Practical knowledge and those who have incredible Intuition to get to the bottom line of clients issues and RAF has all three. 
Raf is a highly intuitive Practitioner who has the bottom of his heart cares more than anybody I have ever met about helping people get to the bottom line of their issues. Helping people get to the bottom line of the issues sell them stops at the discipline that someone is trained him and Raf always goes that extra mile. One of Raf’s strongest traits Is the fact that when he is unsure or when he wants to investigate further he asks his colleagues for help. His humbleness allows him to not have to pretend he knows it all and this is why I feel so strongly about Raf. Because every person and everybody is different Raf is adaptable to everyone’s unique situation.
There are very few people In the world that I put my trust With my own body and Raf is one of them.

Thanks to Rafa and his bodywork and training methods I have discovered new and better ways to treat my body and my mind. I have been suffering from back and neck pain for a very long time, and after having worked with him for a few months intensely, I can honestly say that I can’t remember the last time I felt this good in my body. I feel lighter, faster, and have more mobility and agility than ever.

In Rafa’s therapy sessions, what is created is a connection—a dialogue between your body, what is living inside of you and his massage work and hands. He feels with his intuition what needs to be done so that you heal from the ailment or physical or non-physical problem you might have. He flows with his work and feels with great precision where to direct his attention.

You leave from his sessions with an instant sense of betterment and relief, and the more I work with him the more I feel and perceive a continuous improvement in myself.

His massage work is intense, profound, liberating and full of energy. When you receive his work, you know you have received something authentic and meaningful.
His therapy is directed towards true holistic healing.

I'm 47 years old and a practicing clinical psychologist for 15 years. My back has been troubling me since childhood. I have always been able to hold it in check by doing physical exercise if it starts acting up. But for the past two years or so that didn't do the trick any more. The more sport I did the more my back hurt so I seemed to be in a permanent downward spiral of loss of fitness and increased back pain. I tried yoga, physiotherapy, stretching and massage but nothing worked in the long term.  As a very active individual the prospect of constant back pain and lack of movement affected me emotionally and I could sense a growing pessimism towards the future.    
But good things often suddenly turn up if you are looking for them. Meeting Raf has had a tremendous impact on my life, not just physically but as important emotionally. His approach is a holistic one where he puts the body and emotional well being into context. He has taught me about the deep things in the body that interact with each other and create an interlocked matrix of causes and effects. You need to start to loosen those areas up just to get at them and that takes time, relative to how deep the problem was. So in the beginning some of the things that he recommended and worked on did not seem to have any immediate effect but as time passed and the layers of work started to build up and the puzzle pieces to align together it all started to make sence. After some time I not only started feeling functional as I did before with my other approaches, but actually better. There is something deep rooted being dissolved little by little. It is a level of patience and respect to physical and emotional trauma that sits in the Fascia, which I have not met before.
For me this is slow learning and through Rafael help I have gained some transformative insight that will always follow me. Or as Raf always said when I was being impatient and asking when things would become better; "Poco a poco" (little by little). And he was always right.
