“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 enjoyed the weekend so much! You gave me a possible way out of my situation. I am hopeful again. Before I was getting desperate because nothing really worked. You really inspired me in my own health and in my teaching.”

“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.”
