I am still amazed at how awesome our session was and the benefits I have felt since. As you know when we had our follow-up call, I did have quite an extreme emotional reaction which lasted a couple of days. This was exacerbated by communications with my ex. However, within a couple of weeks, I began to notice surprising physical benefits. My headaches and neck/shoulder pain seemed less but most amazing was the shift in my back pain. For the first time in years, I was able to vacuum standing up and did the whole house in one go! Since my car accident, I’d had to do it in multiple stages on my hands and knees also due to pain in my broken arm and ribs. I was so excited I had to ring my daughter and tell her! It was the exercise experience that blew me away. Before I saw you, I had days where I could hardly walk. By the time I got to the retreat, I went into the gym and everything came to me so easily because I was practically pain-free! For the first time in over a year I could hop on the exercise bike – no back pain; I was lifting weights and doing push-ups – no pain in my arm; and one day I even had to jog to get to my cabin in a hurry – I was so amazed that I didn’t feel pain in my leg or chest, that I jogged all the way back! I have never done that since the accident nor hardly before with the fibromyalgia pain. I developed a gentle exercise and stretching program in the gym nearly every day and by the time I left I had improved greatly from my first assessment. With all the healthy eating and getting my body moving I lost 4kg. Bonus! It really is that easy. My challenge for a long time since being on my own was simply to get motivated and see worth in developing a routine and practise – just a setback trying to transition from coupledom to being single, falling into depression and anxiety. But now it’s time to keep moving onward, accepting there will also be twists and turns along the way, and I’m feeling excited for my new life and wherever the next leg of my journey takes me. Thank you so very much Leanne
