Ilan Lev Method
The Ilan Lev Method works toward improving human capabilities and removing functional difficulties through treatments in which the patient’s body is gently moved, creating a rich dialogue between the patient and practitioner. Movement returns to parts of the body where communication has been cut off due to physical or emotional stress, facilitating the breakdown of suboptimal patterns and creating space for the discovery of new possibilities. The treatment results in relief of pain, improved circulation, richer range of movement; stress and emotional density in the body are reduced, physical and emotional injuries can be processed and patients feel refreshed, happy and energized.
I facilitate explorations with Ilan Lev Method in three different forms.
1:1 hands-on treatments
Movement training for groups and individuals
ILM-informed improvisation classes for dancers
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 classes (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.

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
