“I feel so much more embodied than when I arrived, more connected to my body. What was particularly special is that I feel so much more connected to my left side. Now, understanding how my left shoulder discomfort is not just my shoulder, it’s connected to my lower back, my hip, my leg, in ways I wasn’t even aware of day to day.”

“I have been doing your movements (daily and several hours) and the dizziness is slowly getting better. Thank you for giving me my control and life back.”
