Welcome to Inner Drummer Movement LLC!
I help support people in their hearts who struggle with getting out of their heads who want to be more confident in daily activities and more connected in everyday relationships. In some cases early childhood trauma may be a factor in hijacking your nervous system. If you want safe support for gently building new skills at your own pace so you can move more joyfully than has seemed possible, please test out some of the free movement experiments to get a sense of where you might begin and whether the body-oriented way we would work together might be a good complement to support you when other more mental approaches haven’t shifted your current way of being into something that reflects how you want to be and maybe have wanted for a long time!
Note: It’s late February of 2024 and I’m just beginning to organize the practices I’ve been testing, practicing, and teaching over the last three to thirty years into a useful set of online tools for you to access and try out for yourself. Check back for new content throughout 2024.
At present these offerings are available for immediate booking or class attendance:
Acupuncture and Acupuncture Housecalls can be arranged by texting/calling Rob or clicking on the “Schedule Appointments Here” button above right.
I lead ongoing Tai Chi Flow, Tai Chi Tips and Tricks, and Qigong Meditation classes at FiftyNorth Senior Center in Northfield several times a week. Sign up at FiftyNorth. Membership isn’t required to take a class there. Adults of any age can participate and walk-ins are welcome.
FiftyNorth is also where I offer in-person experiential workshops and one-hour long educational sessions on relevant health and wellness topics. Check the FiftyNorth web-site or newsletter for current topics.
A more complete web makeover is coming soon! Thanks for your patience!

“I had a great experience! I was on a 9-month deployment and my body was going through a lot. Robert was very welcoming and explained the entire process. I felt very comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend if you’re trying to get some relief! ”
