I have had disabling chronic pain symptoms after a major car accident on the freeway over a decade ago. My entire body had patches of stiff areas and painful areas that I would notice with any activity, any kind of movement, at all times. My doctors struggled to improve my symptoms. Nothing they prescribed, no specialist that they referred me to worked at all. I spent a lot of time and money outside of my health insurance into chiropractic and acupuncture. Those gave brief relief but that's it, my body was still the same. I stumbled onto Karen's practice and MFR accidentally and I am INCREDIBLY lucky for it.
Karen's techniques are gentle and do not cause any pain. I was surprised at my body's response to her healing touch. I was very skeptical after our first appointment whether I would feel benefits. However, in the short period after our first session, I started to notice some of the stuck areas in my neck, shoulders, back and hips start to have a little more movement and a little less pain. This pattern continued after each of our sessions. Each time, it seems like different areas of my body would feel more free, have more feeling and coordination, and have a little more strength. I previously could not sit more than 20 minutes w/o being incredibly stiff, stressed, and miserable. Now I can go up to an hour and I seem to recover from shorter breaks away from the chair. I am working more and performing my job better.
I do not believe in miracles and magic, but I can say 100% that my progress feels miraculous/magical. My chronic pain and disability has improved drastically ever since starting therapy with Karen and over a 5 month period (6 treatment sessions). I am able to sit/stand/walk a little longer and with much less pain than before. I still have all body pain and stiffness symptoms, but I am functioning significantly better after meeting Karen.
If you are reading this, I hope you can have faith and curiosity in trying out Karen. This is a real human review. Karen did not pay me or ask me for this review. Go for a few sessions, keep an open mind and stay patient with the healing process.... Karen's healing has me convinced that my body can heal from all my injuries and my future is much brighter and less scarier than before!
