I was fortunate to discover Brenda about two years ago, and I have been coming to her at least twice a month.  Just about everything in my life has improved since the first day I sat in her waiting room.  That first day I remember thinking, “Why am I here?  This is ridiculous.  What can this possibly help?  My marriage is in serious trouble, I don’t like my job, I’m overweight, and I have lots of health issues.  So of course I’m unhappy.  Who wouldn’t be?  What is this woman supposed to do about all of this?”

Somehow all of the above problems have disappeared.  My marriage of 15 years has never been better.  My job is still challenging and sometimes stressful, but I’ve learned how to communicate with my employer and express myself, thus resolving issues that I used to carry around as resentments.  I have lost 30 pounds reclaiming the body I haven’t seen in 10 years, so most of my health issues have also improved dramatically.  I have a calmness and inner peace that I don’t believe I have ever had.

How has coming to Brenda done all of this?  I can’t really answer that question.  All I can say is that I know with an absolute certainty that my treatment here is the catalyst for the changes in my life.  It has allowed me to seek out and receive answers, listen to others, and listen to myself – whereas, in the past, my ears were shut and I could not hear anyone’s advice or worse my own inner voice speaking.  By listening to the wisdom of others and the wisdom that I have within my own body, I am finding all the answers that I need for my life’s path.
