"Massage therapy, chiropractic, weight training, stretching and exercise all have a place in self-care. I have had good results from each of these and yet was still struggling with some chronic neck and low back pain and beginning to experience some stiffness with movement. In just two months of working with Robert, there has been a very obvious shift in my personal health. I no longer have knotted tension in my neck and shoulders, my muscles are more fluid and balanced - I have been given effective tools to help my "inner physician" do it's best work.
Robert's intuitive cranio-sacral work has gently unlayered deeper traumas and provide a new path to healing... His private instruction in TaiChi Qigong "18 Movements" has given my husband and myself a new daily practice in moving meditation that has almost magically created balance and fluidity as we learn how to move Qi through our bodies.
Robert's calm humble demeanor and practised knowledge of eastern healing arts, his beautiful studio, his playful humor, his willingness to personalize instruction - all synchronize to help the individual find their best self.
I recommend Robert Bates to anyone seeking a new level of health and well being. He will guide you carefully to that next "best place" in your own journey of transformation. "
