Your kids are blossoming. Now it's your turn!
Moms About to Blossom is for any woman who has been such a fabulous mother (healer, caretaker, nurturer), that her kids are blossoming, but she isn't!
If your life ever feels like a giant interruption, if you've turned guilt and self-neglect into art forms, if your kids have trouble believing you once were fun, playful and fancy-free, if as much as you love your family, you sometimes miss yourself, then it's time you reap some harvest!
Rosy is considered by her grateful clients and Blossoming Support group participants as an enthusiastic, creative and compassionate companion, especially equipped to help moms pluck, gather and scoop up all of the life goodies that are meant for them, to discover the surprising truth that "a happy mom doth a happy family make!"
"Rosy possesses the rarest sort of genius, and she puts it to still rarer use. She has the ability to see, deeply, the strengths of her clients, and uses this to construct for each a unique reading of immeasurable value and meaning."
- Siona van Dijk, writer and facilitator
"Rosy has a rare gift of sensitive interpretation and effective communication. I can't recommend her highly enough. Rosy is like a tonic of good energy. The way I feel good after a walk on the beach is the way I feel about my (sessions) with Rosy."
- Mary Lois Hare, creative director of Loop Event Arts
"My life had seemed as if I was dancing someone else's dance before seeing her, knowing that I wasn't quite aligned with my own pace and rhythm, and watching myself over and over again feeling overwhelmed, drained, and not knowing how to shift this. With compassion, rigor and an amazing capacity to track the complexity of my experience, Rosy was able to offer me a very accessible framework and in-the-moment tools that help me make choices more easily, express myself more authentically and experience a sense of aliveness and alignment that are unprecedented in my 56 years and oh, so many therapy sessions!"
- Susan Strasburger, RPT, PhD, Integrative Coaching and Counseling
"At once a mentor, therapist and spiritual adviser, Rosys wisdom emanates from a deep well of empathy and a fully lived life, and inspires you to live your dream. Rosy's capacity to see your essence and hear the longings of the deepest voice inside of you is her special gift. Filled with emotional generosity, Rosy showers you with her nurturing energy and her compassionate gaze. This unique quality of holding and presence permits you to glide into the necessary exploration, where you can begin to map the emotional, spiritual and practical terrain of your journey."
- Armand Volkas, MFA, MA, MFT, RDT/BCT, clinical director of the Living Arts Counseling Center and artistic director of The Living Arts Playback Theatre
"Rosy Aronson is a born counselor, healer and integrator of knowledge, an amazing woman."
- Caren Wise, mother, teacher, artist, expressive arts/drama therapist and change agent
Rosy has remained committed to grounding, freeing and connecting people through the creative process since 1987. She studied psychology and social change at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. Upon receiving her B.A., she moved to Europe, where she trained and worked as a visual artist, breathworker and transpersonal arts therapist. Rosy co-founded the Copenhagen Center for Water Rebirthing, provided creative arts therapy to individuals, couples and families in her Danish private practice, supervised alternative healing practitioners, and led creativity, womens empowerment and personal growth workshops.
Upon returning to the States in 1997, Rosy earned an M.A. at the California Institute for Integral Studies in counseling psychology, with a focus in expressive arts therapy, and then a Ph.D. at the University for Integrative Learning, specializing in intuitive listening and the creative arts. She became a registered drama therapist, with a special passion for improvisation, and for three years, studied the art of "Intuitive Reading" with Phyllis Pay of the Intuitive Energy Center. After writing and illustrating the prelude to a transformative book series for contemplative kids (ages 8-12) called "A Tale of Serendipity: The Adventure Begins!", she immersed herself in the infinitely vast and deeply practical study of human design, and now the gene keys.
Today, along with raising her beloved daughter, Rosy works as a writer, artist and spiritual counselor in Berkeley, CA. She supports and empowers creative souls, blossoming moms, and unconventional livers and learners all over the world, and in a variety of ways. Together with Mireya Alejo, Rosy has co-founded RIE Creative Meditation, a fun, empowering and permission-giving art and movement-immersion workshop growing in the Bay Area.
Because of the practical nature of human design and its ability to help her hone in on the unique wisdom of each person, she takes special pleasure in sharing her knowledge of this system with those who feel drawn to it, and to using it as an entry way into deeper forms of collaborative and creative counseling.
Rosy is an ordained minister of the congregation Roots and Wings, of AIWP (the Association for the Integration of the Whole Person).
