| LYNDA WRITES: I have been angry to the point of rage for many years. As I grew older, the rage when it hit would be so consuming as to leave me in exhaustion and shame over what I had done. The people I hurt most were those I loved. I had tried self help books....waste. I tried therapy once.... an even bigger waste as fooling them is so easy. I had given up literally. Then my chiropractor Gordon Greener who I had known for seven years suggested Intrinsic Assessment. Well I thought about it a bit. Put it aside for later and forgot about it. Then one day while waiting in the outer office to see him I over heard someone talking on the phone about Intrinsic Assessment and all the good it was doing her. I remembered that day to pick up further literature that was in the office about the prices and sessions. After reading through the material I got excited. Could this actually help? I called and left a message with Valerie Jo that night. When she called me back later we ended up talking for close to 45 minutes just getting to know each other a bit. She suggested the Body Harmony sessions to start with to get comfortable with each other. Now I know there are people who wouldn't care or feel the need for Body Harmony right off. But I say if you have stress in your life go to a Body Harmony session it is so very good for you physically I can't describe it. When I walk out it's like being able to feel again! We build up so much stress at work that to me it felt like a wall around me. Trying to protect myself from feeling. Suddenly the smiles and feelings of happiness return and are genuine. After two sessions of Body Harmony I decided to try the Intrinsic Assessment sessions. The process to start is very different. I was given a workbook of questions to answer. Homework you might say and vital for the groundwork of guiding where our sessions would lead. In the very first session something came up that was a prime reason of my rage. Then came the process of working out how I had gotten to that point. It's a learning experience where you look back to the 'Why's that have shaped your interaction with people. I'm on my way to healing, thanks to Valerie Jo who has placed my feet on the path to self discovery. Thanks Val Lynda

| MARY WRITES: I just wanted to thank you again for your wonderful Body Harmony session the other day. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it. It was what I might imagine a “rebirthing” process might be like, as I felt safe, nurtured, cleansed, and cherished as a fellow human being. You know, I was 40 before I received my first massage. I was so nervous since I didn’t know what to expect. It was a good therapeutic massage, I guess, but in retrospect, it didn’t have that focused connection that I believe is so vital to what I want to achieve in my work, and what I feel so strongly in yours. To be a detached, non-judgmental, catalyst to put people in touch with their potential for health and happiness. I’ve been in nursing for more than half my life and feel that the Massage Therapy I’m doing now is my life’s work. That all I’ve done before this has been necessary to bring me to this point. I’m so thankful to be here, and to share a common thread with folks such as yourself and Dr. Greener. What Body Harmony session is like: A connection on several different planes; physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, that keeps us in touch with ourselves so that we may be all that we can be. Not a goal to be achieved, but a journey to be shared. Understanding importance of human touch. Without it, babies fail to thrive. In today’s exploitation of sexual touch, it’s a nice buffer to provide safe, therapeutic touch which requires no response or expectations; only acceptance of the healing aspects of the touch of another human being who cares.

LINDA WRITES: I can not begin to find the words to tell you how wonderful I feel since coming to you for my Body Harmony sessions. This experience is not like anything I have ever had, and I have been trying to put words to it, but all I can say is that I feel so nurtured and special every time I leave from having my session. This whole way of learning how to relax and manage stress is truly a life changing experience. Thank you so much for making this available to us. I do hope more people hear about what you are making available so that they can experience what I have. Blessings and thank you again Valerie, Linda |
