About the Method

What We Do

The Ilan Lev Method (ILM) is a revolutionary form of hands on bodywork developed by master healer and therapist, Ilan Lev.  The Method brings an explosion of movement, life force energy, playful provocation, and joy to the body. This creates the environment in which the body's natural ability to heal itself can arise. We discover optimal range of motion, efficiency of effort, and a new understanding of ourselves, through play.

Movement is life

The practitioner brings gentle, effortless movement to the client’s body allowing for a rich and powerful dialog within and between client and practitioner; like a dance. This allows new physical pathways and coordinations to emerge or become clearer, old habits to be thrown out, and physical and emotional trauma to be released. 

  • "The method perceives pain not as an enemy, but instead as a way that our body communicates with us; it relies on the knowledge that the nervous system is really smart and will adjust and realign as needed if given the opportunity."

    Dance Enthusiast

  • "I find Ilan's work an amazing gift to dancers and people alike. His work helps the body's own regeneration. It brings movement to blocked areas in the body, it comes with positive energy and sense of joy, it can help quicker recovery from "fresh injuries" as well as heal old ones... It helped me to become more efficient with my movement and gave me a more balanced body... His work is intelligent, thoughtful, considerate, and is a constant research of growth for Ilan himself as well as for those he works with.”

The Impact

At the heart of ILM is a dialogue with ourselves, others, and the world around us. The Method has the potential to change the way we approach health, wellness and wholeness, at a moment when deep listening and healing is more essential than ever for our communities and our planet. We hope that the expansion of this method will create a ripple effect across this country and the world.

As Ilan often reminds us, "Heal one person, heal the World."
