Ilan Lev Method

The Ilan Lev Method is a dynamic, hands-on somatic therapy designed to help you move beyond physical limitations, reduce pain, and access greater freedom in your body. Using gentle yet dynamic touch and movement, this method creates new pathways for healing and exploration, allowing your body to work in harmony with itself.

Who is it for?

  • Individuals recovering from burnout who need gentle support to reconnect with their body and restore energy.

  • Individuals experiencing chronic pain, stiffness, or physical discomfort.

  • Actors, dancers, musicians, and creatives seeking to enhance performance and movement quality.

  • Anyone looking to rediscover ease, joy, and vitality in their body.

ILM has roots in Feldenkrais, acupressure and bioenergetics and as practitioners we offer two different ways to engage with the method: hands on treatments (1:1) and movement training (1:1 or in groups).   Both approaches send gentle movement through the body to increase range/quality of motion and engage the parasympathetic nervous system which can lead to an array of benefits for the client including increased HRV, better quality of sleep, improved digestion and decreased levels of inflammation.  When working with someone on a regular basis, I start with hands-on treatments and gradually give the individual small exercises which they can use to start building their own movement practice.

What happens in a session?

  • Release tension and blockages through intuitive, flowing touch.

  • Explore new movement patterns to bring lightness and flexibility to your body.

  • Address your specific needs and create a personalized experience tailored to your goals.

Why try the Ilan Lev Method?

  • Relieve chronic pain and recover from injuries.

  • Boost creativity and enhance body awareness.

  • Support overall well-being and emotional balance.

Reflections

“Jag har varit på många kroppsbehandlingar men sällan eller aldrig upplevt något så djupgående och välgörande som Sarahs behandling. Hennes lyhördhet, hennes djupa kunskap om Ilan Lev-metoden och säkra handlag gör att jag alltid går därifrån med en känsla av att ha blivit transformerad. Piggare, vitalare, öppnare, mer grundad, avspänd. Ibland mer av det ena, ibland det andra. Dessutom har rent fysiska problem, som en värkande höft t ex, lindrats och t o m försvunnit. Som sångare och skådespelare är det värt att nämna att behandlingen har en mycket bra effekt på rösten. Kan varmt rekommendera Sarah Stanley och ILM till alla.” Rolf, Stockholm

“One of the best body treatments of all sorts I have ever received. Sarah was very intuitive and present when she was working with my body, and my body responded very well. I have done other treatments before, but with Sarah I loved the high focus on both body and energy flow. She is very skilled with amazing techniques.” - Farnaz, Stockholm

“A very special treatment that leaves me feeling more alive each time. This gets the energies flowing inside and out, which has such a healing and opening effect. Sarah is an incredible practitioner who is in tune with you, her and all that surrounds. Highly recommend!” Inka, Stockholm

“I felt more free, calm and powerful - gaining a better understanding of the role the body plays in both my physical and mental well being.” -Dya, Berlin

“What an amazing feeling to forget how your body feels and rediscover it without all the little dysfunctions one collects over time… to gain awareness of some body parts that I, it seems like, never really knew of.” - Lukas, Berlin

“Sarah opened avenues in my body and breath that have been locked for years. Full of joy, Sarah made space for my body to rediscover pathways to help expand and soften. ” - Kelly, New York

“A lot of laughter, care, wiggling, and release... I can very much recommend Sarah's treatment to anyone who wishes to access more sensitivity and availability. “- Samuli, Helsinki
