I went to Spirit Winds looking for help with my shoulder,
which had, become so painful it was difficult to drive or
even sit for long
periods of time. I went to see Michele because I knew she
was trained in physical therapy and was hoping she'd give
me an exercise that would help strengthen the joint.
At our first session she checked my range of motion and asked
me to lie on the table. We had an interesting session but
I left without the
shoulder exercises I was expecting.
About 4 hours after the next session I was sitting at my
desk when I leaned on my arm and instantly realized I didn't
have the acute pain I
had been feeling for months. Shocked, I started circling my
arm around and was truly dumfounded to find that about 80%
of the pain was gone.
It's been about 2 weeks since then; I'm now about 95% pain-free.
This has come as quite a shock to me because I am a trained
massage
therapist and have a pretty fair understanding of energy work
and mind/body medicine. Even with this knowledge I did not
put together the
fact that what seemed a very physical type of pain (I figured
it was torn/inflamed tendons or ligaments) could be healed
so quickly and
effortlessly. It is still a bit of a mystery to me, but I
am grateful beyond measure for the truly amazing results."

As a distance runner, I've had a lot of bodywork. I used
to refer to physical therapy as "P. T. Pain and Torture
inflicted by Physical Terrorist." Not so with Michele
and Trish! Their method is very gentle yet highly effective.
For example:
About a month before my last Marathon, I was diagnosed with
a nasty heel spur and the medical prognosis was bleak.”
A Marathon is out of the question" to be exact. Trish
and Michele worked on me, not just my foot, but addressed
all of the issues related to the injury. I finished the Marathon
and am back in training for the next one.
My treatments with Michele and Trish have not only been
physically beneficial. I leave in a balanced, relaxed state
that feels great! I HIGHLY recommend Spirit Winds Therapy
for anyone wanting the deep healing I have experienced. Besides,
I want Trish and Michele to do well here so they will stay
here. Their wonderful healing presence is greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for the opportunity of renting the laser
for the weekend. I brought the laser with me to visit my parents
in Santa Cruz. My dad has been suffering from shingles for
2 years now and his doctor had told him if he had it for two
years, he would always have it. I helped him with a treatment
for one hour on Friday night, and two separate treatments
of one hour on Saturday. He said he felt better than he has
in a long time and is bringing the CD to his doctor so he
can have more treatment!
My mom has suffered for years from arthritis and has much
difficulty walking. While I was there, we took a long walk
down to the beach. Normally, she would be in pain for days
after this kind of walk. I also assisted her with 3 one -hour
treatments, and the day after the walk she had no pain in
her legs!
And finally, my dog has grade 6 congestive heart failure.
She has trouble breathing even when relaxed. I gave her treatment
with the laser for one hour and her breathing became noticeable
improved as she rested.
Three success stories for the weekend!!
Thanks again for sharing this with us. I would strongly recommend
a weekend rental to anybody! Especially, when you can share
it between friends and/or family and enjoy it together.
Sincerely,
Susan Rodriguez

Overall I feel much better. I have increased my body movement and range of motion.
I'm able to sleep through the night and rarely have headaches. I contribute this to improvement in my neck and spine.
My lower back is less painful. My right calf no longer cramps. My breathing is deeper. My mind seems clearer ñ more clarity.
|
| I've been able to run a lot faster! I used to have back problems and now I'm a lot better. I snow ski a lot better, too.
|
I am able to swim laps again without shoulders locking. Overall balance is improved. Ankle strength improved ñ can raise both heels off [the] ground slightly and balance without support.

| In 2005, after 12 years in the hands-on healing profession,
our dear Trish Brown has decided to part from Spirit Winds in
order to pursue other interests. It is an extremely amiable
parting, however. No doubt, we, as well as our clients will
miss her love, playfulness, good humor and healing hands. We
wish her the best in her journeys! |
