“Roger is amazing at what he does.
He’s so intuitive at reading the body’s ailments and needs. This method (Trager) to me is like coming home to my body. It’s such a transformative experience as the body holds trauma, stress but also memories. I feel completely renewed and at peace following the treatment.
Thank you, Roger!” - Alicja
