Last Wednesday, when I saw you for the first time after my surgery. I felt as if I was slowly drowning in an ocean the past five weeks. . . . . then I saw you! Your love, warmth, wisdom and generosity were my buoy. I felt cared for and watched over. I learned to activate just a teeny bit of muscle in my arm and scapula, and that was enough to bring me to the surface; and to build a new hope for finding my strength and center once again.’ “I feel renewed. . . . . I am so very grateful!!! I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with MJ. She has literally changed my life. Before working with her I was in chronic pain for 7 years, went to 12 different doctors, physical therapy 2-3 times per week, pain management injections, pain pills, the works. Not any more. Now all I do is see MJ!! |
