Letter from a Client
I am always amazed at the miracle of touch. I never know if what I am doing will really make a difference, so it is always nice to receive feedback that I helped reduce pain. As a massage therapist, I don't do anything "magic" - I simply help the body into the parasympathetic mode, or into a state of relaxation, and the body can begin to heal itself. The trick is to figure out which modality of massage is best for each person at that moment in time.

Heidi,
Thank you so much for all you have done for me. . . . Here's my story:
My condition is trigeminal neuralgia. http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/guide/trigeminal-neuralgia. I've had it on and off since 2009, but in June of 2014 it became constant and unbearable. We didn't know what it was until June. I had gotten a root canal last year unnecessarily, which obviously did nothing for the pain.
All of June was spent pretty much not talking or moving, eating, smiling, nor laughing. They all caused intense pain. I was still under the impression that my body could heal itself and God would help.
I had taken Tegretol on and off and that seemed to squelch the pain and work for up to 24 hrs. The morning I went to see you was very excruciating. So much so, that I took 2 tegretols. 400mg.

I believe that you knew exactly how to interact with the rhythms of my body, and create the vibrational flow. Your massage helped so much to get my system open and responding to energy, including the abdominal massage. Then you ended with a cranial sacral that pulled all the energy up to my brain stem where I needed it the most. You did it flawlessly. This takes education and talent. I know because I have only had two people who were able to do this on me. I have been to multiple massage therapists here in Miami, many claiming to do cranial sacral - and they all do it a bit different - but none were able to channel the energy and get the flow going.
I was pain free - completely - for 2 months!! That was fantastic! I really believe you played a major part in healing me.
As this condition goes - it "grew" back in August and by September I was in excruciating pain again. I have gone to multiple massage clinics, but have not been able to find another person to do it the way you did, and I'm still in pain - taking 2 tegretols a day and not having it completely gone.
I'm scheduled for an HDMRI with a trigeminal protocol so they can further diagnose correctly my condition - because the only long term treatment is a brain surgery. https://www.ebrainmd.com/special.php?specialty_id=8
Last week I found a myofascial lady who worked on me and she was able to take me to 75% pain free. She did a cranial sacral like you did, but her massage techniques beforehand were different. I was so happy to have found someone that does cranial sacral massage the way you do. In fact, because I was able to get one from her that also improved my condition, it enforced my opinion that your massage did indeed heal me and played a major role in my pain free summer.
Thank you so much for working on me. I wish I lived closer because I would be seeing you every month for wellness. I have told all my friends and family who live in Utah about you, because I believe that what you do is a vital part of our health and healing naturally.
I watched the"fuzz" video on your website. Thank you for posting it. I understand now why stretching is so important.
