I am beginning to trust what I see, what I feel, what I hear, what I touch. And that opens a way for my clients — and perhaps everyone I connect with — to do the same.

It's a wonderful healing experience, physically and emotionally. I went with no expectations and found it was more gentle and more powerful than a massage. I was really surprised by the deep effect it had on me.
