-I was walking with a cane for 1 week

​

and I went to the doctor. I suppose was in a bad bed position and now I no longer walk with a cane after 1 treatment. I am thrilled to walk normally at 73 years old.

​

​

-I am a senior and had major issues

 

with painful lower limbs, and lower legs, and with a wound that did not heal.  My feet were so painful at night that I couldn't sleep.  I decided to try a more holistic approach with Joanna and get the flow going since I had gone to see her a year before I had doctor's orders to stay home.

​

I am set in my ways but the doctors are no longer helping me and not finding the causes after 1.5 years of staying home due to my foot.

​

This journey with holistic therapy was extraordinary ...First, my frequency of pain went down by 30 percent and the numbness was 80 PC down...then the sleeping pills went down by 3rd week. Then I started feeling my calves for the first time in 1.5 years. I felt pain and then sensations when I drove the car...and that was huge for me to feel my limbs again. 

 

I am now expanding and looking more into natural medicine due to the wound and the results I am getting with Joanna.

 

​

​

​

-I work in construction and am in good shape

​

with little pain but had reflexology because I had pain in the foot.

This was such a journey and found that the body tests your patience, it doesn't happen as I think but it just unravels itself as I go and surprises me.  The connections that were made were many and it showed me where it was working for me every week I had a different experience and at one point the pain in the lower abs left and that was so surprising that we got the solutions that were needed and not what we wanted.  I gained much from this you just need to allow it to do its work and it can be bigger than what you expected.

​

​

-I am an office worker and felt a strong tension in my neck and shoulder.

 

It was too much to handle. After 1 hour of Lomi Lomi and Acupressure, I realized that my pain was reduced by 20 PC for a long time afterwards too. I am not connecting yet that well to my body but I am slowly learning ...What was extraordinary is that I can feel during massage many body responses.  That was awesome.

​

​

-I was very desperate with 3 years of arthritis

​

and no sleep due to pain. I had one treatment and hit the jackpot, I had no more arthritis well my pain was reduced by at least 75% and I can sleep. It was hard for me to even believe it. Now I can take care of my daughter better with my health. 

​

​

​

-I came for migraines that I had for many years and nothing relieved it

​

for good....and found out after that I had a kidney infection instead which was a revelation.  However, I learned during the massage that I can connect with my body many times and the body is often trying to say something but only Joanna truly understood since all the other massage practitioners thought I was crazy.......  Joanna found out that the jaws were too tight and that my eyes were pulling on to cause havoc in my skull. I felt the relief in my head during the massage too and after. Now at least I have some causes that I can look into and will go to visit an optometrist.

​

​

​

-I do construction work and I feel this gripping tension in my back often

 

and nothing ever happened with the message I had before...but with Joanna, I felt energy come back in my hands and that felt like something was deeply working. It took me 2 sessions to start tuning in properly and by the 3rd my pain left my back. Now I can also sleep without tossing and turning. I feel young again and can work more too.

________________________________________________________________________

​

-I had terrible pains in my back and near glutes

and the chiro and rmt did not truly help and wanted to try a holistic approach and found that I improved 70% after the 2nd session with Joanna. By 3rd session, my pain was not only gone during the daytime but also during the afternoon.

 

 It truly helped with my job as a personal care worker because I am a small person and have some heavy lifting to do.  So glad that there is a massage that can help relieve this and I can go to work!

Joanna was very kind to help me follow the self-healing wisdom. Now I am so aware of when my body feels well. I am a more conscious man.

​

​

​

-  I drive private airplanes and wanted to try a non-regular massage.

​

I did not ask for pain relief because I did not have much pain

but it was because I had no relief from my last massage experiences.  I am so glad that I mentioned that I had pain in my legs after the massage after a 2-hour session because the pain went away when I left. That was incredible since the other massage practitioners were not able to even touch it. 

 

This must be what she means by energetic touch versus physical.  The restoration of the body allows more self-healing. I am still amazed by this but it works even though some people may take her on as a stickler she knows her process works and I am glad that I know too for my benefit.

 

 

​

​

-   I realized that I was never truly relaxed going to Rmt, and did not understand why

since they mentioned in their advertisement it's relaxing. After reading about Joanna's approach I realized that perhaps I was missing a truly immersive experience.  Well, I am glad to have discovered that my body is capable of going deeper to connect to my body and was even able to drift off.  Probably the most amazing was that my lateral sides were always very raw when touched by Rmt and I did not even think of telling her about it since I wanted to relax.  But I realized that part of the massage was a novelty to me...I had no pain on the lateral side of my body where it always hurt during massage too.  This was truly a ha-ha moment that deep relaxation and presence can go so much further in my self-healing.

 

​

​

​

-    I have known Joanna for 3 years now and I had 10 sessions with different rmt before I resumed with Joanna since I am from out of town and it's hard to plan my trips.

 

Unfortunately, the rmt was acting like a physiotherapist and only wanted to fix me, but I was fine I just wanted to feel the relaxation and restoration and healing. It was a very long journey since my engineering background taught me to be very cerebral and always busy no matter what. However after a while, I got it, I finally let go of my mind and felt embodied awareness...I am on a new path now on how to stop this constant agitation which I find very energy-draining.  I had major wins with feeling stronger, muscles stronger, less snoring and my heart acting differently etc.

 

I also started feeling different levels of sensation with my letting go, this is so incredible to open another realm of existence and not be a slave of constant go-go-go-go. Looking forward to connecting with my body since it feels better there than the mind.

​

​

​

-   I am 68 years 68-year-old man with Parkinson's.

The first time I came there I did not take it seriously since I was so revved up with some life issues...then I realized that the 2nd time I had tangible changes in my pain levels in 3 areas.  This is still incredible to me that a massage can have this impact but it's real and you feel the difference.

 

I have many problems due to the head surgery but I am sorry I accepted to do that since I don't see positive changes.

 

​

​

​

- You have performed the best massage, I can easily compare it with others, it seems to reach a deeper place ty.

​

​

- I have tried other massages that were simpler for lack of a better word.. this one is the best massage I had and felt like I let go much.  I am trying to get pregnant and I wanted my body more involved in the process of healing. I feel like something opened up for me.

​

​

-  I usually have rmt massage because it's paid for by insurance however after your massage I have a better understanding that massage can be truly relaxing massage when performed holistically and not just one area of the body.  I felt much more.

​

​

​

-  Other massages felt a bit tame with the little outcome but it took me 3 days to realize how fantastic I felt after the last Lomi special of 75 min.  It helped my brain relax from the 24/7 treadmill.  I am so connected and less frazzled that my life experience is different.

 It feels great something and I wish I had known about it before, it helps I am a musician and a financier and I need to experience deep encounters.  Now I am trying the 2.5 hours to go further with this encounter with my body!

​

​

​

-  I am a female who had a very emotional response to LOMI LOMI many years ago and wanted to try it again. This time I experienced my body connecting in such extraordinary ways... My energy was moving in a very physically energizing way.  My legs connected with my forehead and my headache was gone.  This was very moving for me since I have been taking many drugs that sedate me and had no idea that the body can have an intelligence of its own... I am new at this and still learning however I did feel greater clarity after even many days from the 2.5 hours of Joanna's urban spa therapy.

​

​

​

-  It was the most interesting revelation for a while that I was not feeling much with reflexology but I did not know why until it dawned on me that heavy prescription drugs like Prozac would block my sensations and aliveness. Something so real happened between my first and 2nd foot, the 2nd foot felt everything compared to the first foot! I felt every little touch and it felt so special and yummy. 

So if you take drugs, be careful about how it numbs you.

​

​

-  I was extremely stressed after my father passed away and being the head of the family and started to have urinary issues.  I thought I had prostate problems but in essence, Joanna was right, it was caused by my mind more than anything else and the doctor confirmed it.  After the massage, I felt my mind was released more from the constant push to worry.  I knew then that there is another way to live and I can have more change happen.  Happy to know that I can stop the torment of the mind. 

​

​

​

-  It was important for me to experience freedom and self-confidence and so I did. It is such a different me that I am embodying.  A wonderful experience after 1.5 Lomi Lomi massage when I experienced pulsations and aliveness....after the massage and I was grounded I could clarify that I felt more in my body with fewer reactions, questioning and more choices.  And blessed with more confidence and energy and positivity.​

​

​

-  I find that Joanna is much more intuitive and result-oriented than most practitioners I have gone to.  I feel the difference in my core area for weeks. And since I practice yoga daily and watch my health, I appreciate the difference it makes in my life. Thank you

​

​

​

-  I was in a very bad place, not pretty at all.  I was no longer able to sleep after worrying too much about my problem. I learned how to better manage my mind and also my emotions.  I did not know that I had lost control of my mind to the problems I perceived.  With these new skills, I can now move forward and tackle more. It's not easy to make decisions but she also helped me in other areas.  When it's very stressful, it's very hard to tune in and know where you are at, but with time you integrate new knowledge.  You learn new habits and you need to change from limiting thoughts to progress.  

​

​

-   I was quite amazed by the healing impact on my body. When we spoke  I realized only how pain-free I became after my first visit.

​

​

​

-   I drive long hours on my truck in the USA and was a mess 2 years ago with my body showing pains and lack of mobility from long hours of sitting.  These massages have been a learning curve and we are always healing something and it can be different. Now, for example, the pain on top of my glutes has gone away and it moved in my legs.

 

It's like the pain is driven out of my body and I did not even know that my whole lower torso was affected.   I know that my body is to be treated holistically not by piecework.  it is worth it since I have been a truck driver for decades and surely my career was at stake if I did not take care of it.

​

​

​

-  This is what I learned from self-healing massage.  Even though you get change from the start, you need to continue and ensure the new habit is maintained. self-healing is incremental and many years of problems require a change of habit probably physically and also mentally. So do not consume a massage but make it linger by engaging! Learn how self-healing works before you judge. Just go through the process and you will gain.

​

​

-  I am a female and busy with work, children, house, and dog.  I heard of LOMI LOMI Massage and wanted to also try it. It was 2 hours long and I felt I needed more since time just flew by. I felt so much freedom.

 

​

-  IT WAS THE BEST MASSAGE IN MY LIFE. It is hard to describe freedom but that is the best way to talk about its impact ....and I suppose we all are different in our responses but this was a breakthrough for me.  

​

One interesting observation was the feeling that my body was breathing in oxygen!! What a feeling after all these stupid mask protocols.

​

​

-  I came with my friend, another truck driver, and we are young and in good health with no experience in massage... and found instant relief..from pain caused by the long hours sitting in the truck.  We are happy to know that we can find solutions because we do not believe in massage in our culture. 

​

Thank God some people know this kind of work based on how the body self-heals not just techniques.

​

​

​

MEN'S HEALTH

​

-  I am glad that I decided to stop the many urinary symptoms caused by my enlarged prostate...We took inventory and many things changed during the weeks

 

--the first week I had 1 time with no pee and the timing changed to less disruptive times.

--In week 2 ...3 times I had 0 pee and had more forcible urination..and less dribble...

 

This is a very good start and enjoying my restful sleep.  This was not easy for me since I am very cerebral but I am learning to trust my body. 

 

​

- Many men may talk about the full body...when the full body is just anything goes as long as there is a happy ending...but Joanna focuses on the total body experience with the mind letting go...

 

To tell you frankly you get more from Joanna's real massage carefully presented to your needs than a tip massage just based on techniques to titillate you. 

May I say it's time to go deeper and not just the superficial feel-good for the moment? 

 

 

As you mature you realize very few things last and the same goes for the superficial full-body massage!  Wake your body and mind up and your life can change...what do you expect from a bunch of techniques?!

 

​

I am an electrician and had very little massage but I had more time to take care of myself and decided that to change myself and my angst among other pains of living, I needed more than talking and meditation.  I did a retreat of 3 hours with Joanna and discovered so many things that I can live more peacefully and without all those burdens plus feel physically refreshed. On my  2nd retreat, my body was so ready to receive..my feet and hands were very warm during certain times responding to certain acupoints. It was amazing since I felt the different stages of my body releasing stress and physically changing!  The most amazing thing was when my brain started to burn and feel like I was having surgery...it was real.  The energy moved in many different ways and I knew I did not make it up!  So happy.

​

​

​

-  I WORK VERY LONG HOURS DRIVING AND HAVE BACK PAINS. THIS MASSAGE THERAPY GETS BETTER AND BETTER AS YOU LEARN what it is capable of doing for you. 

 

 

I had no pain for 6 months from my last therapy and that is tremendous results.  Now I resumed and after 2 sessions, my back pain is gone!  I know this works and have tried it for over a year of massage therapy. This is so different from the useless Chinese massage I received from the USA.

​

​

-  I am in law enforcement and HAD difficulty STAYING CALM SINCE MY MIND WAS VERY INTENSE AND I COULD NOT STOP OVERTHINKING. I learned through this massage therapy and breathwork that I can calm down my mind and think more clearly and experience peace. 

 

​

-  I have tried at least 7 other RMT before and I did not feel much change, it did not reach that deeply.  This is more body-mind connection and wholistic, not just a massage, this process has greater potential to calm the body and mind which is what I needed.

​

​

I am a teacher and had this back pain 8 /10 constantly for over 5 years. Even on the massage table, I had no pain. I am now checking how it's doing in the body... You can feel that it's working in the area...Also, I did an energy scan and found out what is the cause of the problem! So very interesting. Be open to trying, what do you have to lose but your constant pains?

​

​

​

-  I SLEPT LIKE A BABY AFTER THE MASSAGE, HAD 3 HOURS OF WORKOUT (WHICH IS INCREDIBLE) AND MY HAPPINESS INCREASED!

​

​

​

I RECEIVE SPORTS MASSAGES IN THE PAST AND NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS GREAT FEELING OF A WARM GLOW ALL OVER.  This is how you are supposed to feel, good about your body when you connect with it.

​

​

​

-  THIS IS THE BEST MASSAGE I EVER HAD CONSIDERING THAT I AM A LOMILOMI CONSUMER, THIS IS A BIG COMPLIMENT.  MY BODY RESPONDED VERY WELL AND WOKE UP. My little aches on my shoulder have even subsided too.  I feel much more hope now and intend to travel more. (I am a 72-year-old widow retired lawyer from the USA.)

​

​

​

-  I FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO MY BODY AND CAN SLEEP BETTER AFTER THIS MASSAGE.

​

​

​

-  THIS WAS MY FIRST MASSAGE EVER AND I WAS SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY. 

 

I AM GLAD I GAVE MY TIME TO THIS HEALING ART!

I thought that massage would help me control my anxiety after reading Joanna's website.  I didn't know what to ask or expect so thank God she did her thing since I finally felt freedom for the first time in 5 years. 

 

My parents are also anxious and it seems like it rippled to me . I am always worried and my work drains my energy and then I was finished...not a great life!  It is hard to explain...all of a sudden my mind lost control and no longer was heavily monitored..and my body was free to flow... I saw beautiful things while I was in the clinic and wow can't wait to do beautiful projects now since I have more hope. Nice to live again with energy and clarity...If you have lost control of your thought life I suggest you really go and surrender to your body's power to heal your mind.

​

​

​

-  HOW BODYWORK HEALED EMOTIONS SUCH AS ANGER!

I had the privilege to deal with Mr. X who had a condition.  As we discussed his anger was so high that it would have been very difficult to cause a shift in other areas.  He was a very workaholic professional and we talked and practiced stillness with massage ...he was very hard to deal with since he had to do it his way.  He knew another protocol and kept generalizing that the process was the same.

Again not easy but I was determined to see how massage would relieve him of his anger and it did...every week he would notice he would be less offended and triggered..and I can say now even more emphatically that you can use bodywork to heal emotions such as anger. It was a great experience.  I wrote this case summary myself since he was so much in control of everything that I did not feel comfortable. We used reiki, head and foot reflexology, and emotional acupressure among other modalities.

​

​

​

-  HOW BODY-MIND CONNECTION HELPED MY PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND CIRCULATION.

I work in Engineering and wanted to rejuvenate...and Joanna recommended doing a series of Body Mind Connecting Massage Therapies before the Men's Health  The work I do is very linear and we both realized that initially had no idea how to express feelings. Yes, that was very uncomfortable for me not to think through everything...I have to backtrack to my first revelation that my mind is not the only way to do life.  The first massage, Lomi Lomi Massage, opened me up to what a massage can be fabulously embalming and nothing in the past made me feel that good.   Then I continued the learning curve of becoming whole brought me to such great discoveries and what a journey!  I discover that if practice embodying I can perform extraordinary physical tasks and even sleep in hotels!  and many more things happened...I was even able to cycle for hours in Hawaii without pain and my body had no pain after 2 weeks!  My body improved from the body-mind connection in terms of performance and rejuvenation. 

​

​

​

-I finally was able to connect all the dots ......

of Joanna's guidance on body-mind connection when I had to travel for a whole month for work.It became very clear when I started feeling out of sorts and not grounded that I had lost my connection to the source by travelling too long for work.  I was feeling unfocused and unhappy with life. However, after I reconnected with my body after a 1.5-hour Lomi I was joyful and had the battery life to continue and go home happier.  This is so magical.  I have been Joanna's client for a year now and it still amazes me how much I can become aware and thus empowered. It is not easy for creative linear-trained engineers to easily accept a more fluid process such as self-healing however after you feel it you want to live fully in your body!

​

-DURING MY LEARNING CURVE I FINALLY CONNECTED WITH MY BODY AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE much DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF ENERGY OF MASSAGE.

It was a hit and miss and I did not plan since I did not use to use my senses to live compared to my brilliant mind...Recently I learned that I actually can measure the feelings in my body since my wife paid me for a massage one day in Calgary which I could not say any to...and then feelings and facts corroborated since I found that one massage lasted 30 minutes and Joanna's lasted 2 weeks and that is for now...

This is a journey and it has even affected my family including my relationship with my family and children.  The world of tactile has opened me up to greater joy and self-confidence.  Yes, it is worth taking this journey into humanity.

​

-HOW MASSAGE HELPED ME SEE CLEARLY DURING THE DAY AND FEEL GOOD

I am a young male who works probably too much and found one day I was no longer present and couldn't see clearly what I even needed to do in the next 5 hours. Plus I was disconnected from people too. Not too happy with that situation. Now after the mind-body connection, I feel like I am whole again, can think clearly and am confident! So happy

​

​

​

​

MEN'S HEALTH 

-I FINALLY FEEL ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND IN CONTROL OF MY BODY AGAIN

This is my first massage and was experiencing depression due to lack of libido etc and found that it lifted me out of that space. Thank you for saving me from depression and lacklustre performance. 

​

​

-WITH REIKI I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY BODY AND BACK IN. IT WAS my first experience of such depth.  you should never say that is all there is. You need to be open to the energy and you can experience truly little miracles.

​

​

-I WAS VERY AMAZED by THE REIKI SESSION, THIS ENERGY TOUCH TOTALLY.... REVITALIZED ME AND CALMED ME AT THE SAME TIME.  I WAS ABLE TO FEEL SUCH NICE TINGLING ENERGIES. FRANKLY, THIS IS A NEW EXPERIENCE COMPARED TO THE REGULAR MASSAGE I GET. I AM HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO EXPERIENCE.

​

​

-I am a technician and had back pains.

I had a few sessions and the pain is gone. The second day I had a pain somewhere else but it all came through very well. I am not used to seeing results since I go for a quick 30-minute massage but now I know that you need to take your time to allow healing to happen.

 

​

​

-I wanted to try Lomi Lomi for a while now but assumed

it was an erotic massage at first, well I was wrong.  However, I had the most exquisite spiritual experience and it was felt in my body. I cannot even explain it. 

 

​

​

-I work in a logistics company nonstop at the desk and found that since a young age, I was having too many pains in the hip , neck and core areas.  After a few sessions, all my pains are gone. You cannot believe how great I feel now when I work! I am so happy that my desk no longer enslaves me.

 

​

-I had eaten a lot of soya during a vacation in BC and I got a reaction, it seems like it is not that healthy after all in a veggie diet!  I had the opportunity to receive a reflexology treatment this week and wanted to treat gout and enema among other things.  I felt the power of her massage on specific reflexes and acupoints. Amazing!  Even felt renewed.  My foot hurts and I know my health needs a boost but it is a natural boost!   I am a non-smoking vegetarian but on the heavy side, I did not realize how much self-care would make a difference.  On the 2nd visit, my toe was much better.  She has her ways of treating and she scans to find out the cause of the problem too.  It is a great tool.   I am looking forward to also doing the hands and other reflex areas of the body.  It's very popular in India. 

 

​

​

-I am a very busy professional in the construction field and was looking for massage on Google and I found by surprise natural therapies to invigorate your sexuality.

What a delight it was to find it since I had given up in the last 3 years of seeking solutions. I tried the men's health clinic too but as you can see still looking.  The CIALIS gave me strong side effects. I was not happy with my marital life and I guess that I was overworked and my sexuality no longer existed actively. I was worried but I did not realize that my sexual life is a sign of health!  I have no medical record of any anomalies and yet in my 50s now but cannot be very manly.  This process is different from my usual linear mind but this is why it should work better!  The first experience of massage with Joanna showed me what I was missing out on feeling good in my body. Those energy waves are exquisite and I finally went to realms that did not feel heavy like Earth.  I know there is something special about letting go and my engineering mind doesn't get it all now. but I can FEEL IT and that is a good start. You should try something that is uniquely enlivening, it is worth it.  The first session is a good day to get back into your temple and experience your body differently...after you can choose with Joanna to start the journey to sexual health.  This is a journey in that you can taste the difference.. not just a medical clinic!

 

 

-I am from Brazil and work work work in construction. I was feeling run down and needed something, so happy that I tried this rejuvenating Lomi Lomi. It gave me a new outlook on what can be possible.  I felt so good like a resurrected and even happier.  This was the best massage of my life. I want to keep the feeling every month with a massage.  I am so happy that I did not need drugs. Thank you

 

​

​

-THIS JOURNEY, WITH JOANNA, BACK INTO MY BODY SAVED MY LIFE AND BUSINESS. I WANTED TO CLOSE MY BUSINESS DUE TO MY OVERWHELM.  

AS A SCIENTIST, MY CONSTANT SEARCH FOR INFO  WAS A BIT OF A HINDRANCE IN THIS INTERNAL JOURNEY. I AM SAYING THIS SINCE MASSAGE REQUIRES LETTING GO OF THE BODY'S INTERNAL SELF-HEALING CAPACITY NOT a CONSTANT CHATTER AND JUDGMENT. I DID NOT REALIZE WHAT A CHORE THAT WAS!  

I AM A MORE HAPPY AND MORE GROUNDED PERSON  SINCE I LIVE IN MY BODY MORE. BEST OF ALL I AM STILL IN A BUSINESS I LOVE. THESE ARE THE DETAILS:

​

-When I first came to the clinic, I was out of sorts and easily angered.......

Even the parking was enough to trigger me.  Since I was having trouble with my partnership and was ready to stop everything at that point.

 

-Today 2 months later I am still operating my business with my partner and can handle what seemed impossible before.  I am happy now at my company and can travel and still feel at peace...My body feels no more pain and discomfort and those stomach pains are gone too! Ahh, what a massage can do when the body reconnects with the mind.  I knew that something bigger than I was happening when my music teacher mentioned that I was in the "flow". And my wife said how wonderful it is that I can now get along with her sister.  Never thought it was possible.  Now I know that I can change and be the change.

 

-I am now a joyful scientist very confident since I am comfortable in my body and still the owner of my company.

-Kevin's story about his healing journey with 15 years

of pain from spinal cord complications.

​

​

-"I feel brand new after the first session." Sebastian

​

-"I had this sharp pain below my chest and trouble with leg mobility.  I found that the sharp pain showed pain reduction already from the first session...and then as I proceeded my legs improved from the trigger points therapy that 

handled this long-lasting problem from my hockey days!

I am so happy to feel freed up in those areas.  Plus I am so so relaxed deeply after our sessions. I suggest x sports players try the trigger point therapy for their mobility issues from sports."

​

​

-I had 2 accidents and had constant pain for 4 years.  I was out of town and was in Toronto last week.  I am new at self-healing and it is challenging because my mind is used to pain. 

but I managed to retain that I was in very good vibration for a long time after the massage and my pain had dropped at least 2 points.  That was a great shift since many things did not seem to be wired that well after all those big accidents.  I want to take care of my urinary incontinence now.  Many things happen after big accidents.  I hope that I will learn to connect better so that my body

can self-heal faster.  It's a habitual change."

 

-AFTER THIS BODY-MIND SLOW MASSAGE AND TUNING-IN PROCESS I AM MORE AWARE OF BEING CONNECTED, JOYFUL AND EVEN MORE ASSERTIVE WITH MY NEEDS. (THAT MEANS MORE BUSINESS)

 

-I met Joanna and was looking at massage as a tool for wellness and change. I am a coach for midlifers.  I was totally surprised at how much and how pervasive a mind-body connection can be for feeling great in my body but also for my speaking profession. I felt so connected that I felt that I had an edge that would help me be a more powerful speaker.  Having this connection feel that I can do anything. Thank you for your quiet determination, Joanna.

 

 

 

-I HAD PAINS IN MY ABDOMINAL AREA AND IN MY SHOULDERS AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS CAUSING IT.

 

-I am a young ambitious man, in his early 30s man. I had digestive complaints and have gone to the naturopathic doctor already quite a few times and it has cost me quite a bundle yet I still am stressed and my body was not feeling right.  I was still having problems with my digestive unit and a painful shoulder.  Now after the massage, I realized that I needed to manage my stress and reconnect with my body. I already feel this deeper connection with me and life and that my tummy is very happy and my shoulder is so much better.  I actually felt the chi move during and after the massage. We are trying to solve problems and yet we forget that the body needs healing.. way to go Joanna. I am so happy that I found this wholesome new outlook on life and am empowered to look within and find how I can best accelerate my own healing powers.

 

 

-PAIN GONE AFTER WEEKS OF DISCOMFORT. DOCTORS FOUND NOTHING IN MY DIAGNOSIS.

 

I work many hours and also help others improve their health naturally.  I believe that God is nature and everywhere.

It's been 2 weeks that I had terrible pain in my belly button.  The doctors found nothing wrong. Yet this twisting was happening in my abs.  I had met Joanna before something told me that she can help.  This was such a strange thing happening...however, her spiritual healing was very effective.  I left her clinic with no more pain.  You cannot believe how happy I was to be normal again.  She was using a Christian-based approach that was very loving and allowed me to let go of my emotional pains too in this process.

 

 

-I HAD VERY DAMP HANDS AND FEET AMONG OTHER THINGS AND NOW I CAN SHAKE HANDS WITHOUT SHAME

 

WHEN WE STARTED WORKING ON THE CAUSE, I WAS JUST CONFUSED SINCE I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I CAN BE ANY DIFFERENT BUT DAMP!  My feet were dripping!  After a couple of treatments, my bladder was reacting and purging and I slept like a baby (which never happens).  I am no longer embarrassed and that was a miracle for me.  I am learning so much from this journey. in addition, she also gave me a diet for my particular issue.

 

 

 

-AS WE WERE DOING THE MASSAGE, WE NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO LET GO, EVEN MY HEAD. We found there was an emotional blockage from my childhood, it was not just physical. 

 

I am so happy that I came to see Joanna since her acute perceptions opened up my stuck emotions due to my recent breakup.  I was able to know that the compressed state of my body was due to an earlier childhood incident that traumatized me. We were able to deal with that hurt over 20 years ago and it enabled me to see the situation for what it is.  Life will no longer be the same.  My digestive is no longer acting up and acidic, and there seems to be less emotional content.

 

 

 

-I HAD MANY REGULAR  MASSAGES AND NEVER FELT ANY CHANGES WHETHER SMALL OR BIG.  I LIVE MOSTLY IN MY HEAD THUS I DID NOT EXPECT TO FEEL MUCH  HOWEVER I DID WANT TO PLAY HOCKEY WITHOUT ALL THE PAIN I FELT POST-SPORT. I NO LONGER FEEL THE PAIN DURING THE RESTORATION PERIOD!

I am not a feeling person however when I noticed that after my hockey I had no pain, I was elated.  So now I know that bodywork can be also practical and very effective.  This massage is great for sports.

 

​

-I play soccer with other mid-lifers and found that I NEEDED RECOVERY TIME for days. Now I don't need to! What freedom!  

I always stretch and prepare myself before the game. However, after the game, you cannot prevent it, at least that is what I thought. After a few bodywork sessions, I was relieved of all the pain after playing sports! Try it and you will know for yourself.

 

 

-I found that after the massage I am happier and smile easily.  This is a big change for me.

Since I work in a toxic environment, this BODY MIND MASSAGE THERAPY has enabled me to shift my internal and external environment and get better results.

 

 

 

-I had so much pain coming back home after a week of daily golfing in South Carolina and then got stuck in a very cramped airplane.

Joanna found out that the piriformis muscles were strained and particularly exacerbated by sitting.  I am happy to have found relief since I do a lot of exercise.

 

 

 

-I came to see Joanna because I felt spiritual chaos.

I bought her special for 50.00/70 min so probably should have taken a longer session however I found her dialogue very helpful in sorting things out in my life so that it makes sense. Thank you

 

 

-I have 5 chronic diseases and my mental overwork was not a good habit but found my journey with the body very worthwhile and helpful. 

I noticed that when I learned to tune in, miracles happened and I was even able to eat chilli which was impossible.

 

 

-I work  70 hours a week and not only I am tired but my back and knee were not healthy among other things.

I am so amazed at how revived I feel after a few sessions, the circulation is better, my back pain is reduced by at least 30% and I can keep up better with my workload.  This looks like just the beginning. I never felt anything in my previous massages.

 

 

 

-WAS VERY STRESSED FROM STORED-UP TENSION over a couple of months.  I RUN MY OWN COMPANY.  I AM YOUNG AND HEALTHY BUT I FELT LIKE I WAS losing CONTROL.  I FELT SO GREAT INSIDE MY BODY AND SO CONNECTED THAT  A FEW SESSIONS SHIFTED ME COMPLETELY AND MY EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT NO LONGER TRIGGERED ME.

 

 

-I am a very sensitive person and I feel the energy. I  felt the energy of this nurturing massage and it deeply rewired and rebooted me.  I have more peace and have been more productive in managing my employees; they no longer trigger me to be stressed.  You cannot get this level of positive impact when you purchase a skin massage or go to China parlour who are not skillful in self-healing nor do they work with their heart. Thank you.

 

-After a divorce, I lost a bit of my self-confidence and the plannedemic must have caused unhealthy feelings. I wanted to get more vigorous with my new girlfriend and get back to my pre-pandemic era.  Thus we started with the pre-men's health before we decided to go ahead and frankly, I feel so good and want to learn more about connecting to my body. it's a good thing to do and so healing.

 

-I am always busy and driving to meetings. I got used to stressing but the back pain was after 10 years becoming a nuisance that my stress levels could not handle anymore.  I tried rmt and CHIRO...but this massage experience was different it restored me deeply and felt renewed.  Even during the massage the back pain was subdued and tamed.  It's so nice to feel my body and it is yummy btw.  Great to know that massage can go so far beyond the skin.  Alleluia! 

 

 

-I had chronic back pain for 7 years at least and felt many sensations in my body.  I felt the pain leave, and restoration, and also had a 60% reduction in my pain levels.  I was amazed since I have tried chiro and rmt but did not feel so great after the massage because they were not able to restore me at the same time.  It is very worthwhile to experiment with this process.

 

 

 

-I returned from Vietnam and after working for a few days I had excruciating pain that was spreading in my body.  It seemed to be neck pain but then realized as I was receiving massage I had pain in many places including my ribs.  I am happy that Joanna came to see me on New Year's Day because I was so relieved of the pain and fatigue in 1.5 hours. My neck felt like steel and started to cause tension headaches.  I was always receiving Swedish rmt massage before but there was no pain relief. Being a single mom is necessary to be well in my body to be patient with my daughter.

 

 

 

-After I purchased my new sports BMW, I had to go to massage therapy and chiro and spend a lot of money on therapy, since December 23rd.  My interior small space is causing my body a lot of problems which I thought were sciatica. I was not feeling relief but couldn't put my finger on what the solution would be like.  I researched and heard that Lomi Lomi would have a healing effect...I found Joanna and she patiently explained to me about self-healing even though my linear mind had great trouble has hindsight... I finally understood what it meant to restore during the massage.   I also understood how the body self-heals when the body speaks to me and makes the connections. It was the most intimate reconnection with my body.   I found out that I had many tensions in my shoulders and many things triggered in my feet.  Surprisingly my need to control and my powerful mind were no longer competing for attention and I felt such freedom.

I am awed that I felt no pain when I walked out of the clinic! We need to go beyond thoughtless massage that is going through the motions.

-I had rmt massages for over 10 years and never felt this good during and after a massage as with Joanna. It feels alive and rejuvenated and it happens right away after the massage. For example, I really like that she did the gluts area, it seems to release deep frustrations after sitting for years at an office job. It may sound funny but a massage is not a massage without the glutes. 

 

I had rmt massages for over 10 years now and never felt this good as with Joanna. It feels alive and rejuvenated right away after the massage. For example, I like that she did the gluts area, it seems to release deep frustrations after sitting for years at an office job. It may sound funny but a massage is not a massage without the glutes letting go.

 

 

-I had what I thought was back pain for 10 years.  Now that I had several sessions and am better by at least 20 % which is astonishing but it seems like the cause is not just my back.  We have done many scans and have found that the problem was caused by the abs and most likely the hernia! This has been the most self-reflective journey in my life but the fact is it's improving as I gain access to this body that I had forgotten for many years.  Being in my head does not help but I am learning to tune in and that is helping the process.

 

 

-I am 50 years old. I just left a 70-hour week job and it took me months to recover from it.  I decided to resume with Joanna again and found now that I can feel the massage to such a heightened state.  I almost did not feel anything when I had that big workload!  I feel like an 18-year-old again! That feeling lasted over 2 weeks, it is unbelievable.  I now know that you can only feel young and pleasurable when you live a healthier life.  I need a massage to feel and stay young!

​

​

-I had difficulty with my feet ..they felt numb. my doctor said it was neuropathy but had no other diseases!  I wanted to learn about mind-body-focused massage when I came to Toronto. I am glad to have found Joanna since after another 700.00 medical bills which included 5 minutes with the doctor I was not more knowledgeable about my condition nor any potential solution.  However several hours of treatment I was able to see results the same night. I had no more burning feet, which proved to me that I need to take care of my body naturally and the massage was an excellent way to move the flow and the much-needed circulation.  I am now more hopeful or more positive about change.

​

​

-I had anxiety, cold sweats and extreme digestion issues with acid reflux and also headaches... Many things happened along the way as I received therapies.  There were distinct changes early in the stage and my anxiety stopped all week at another point later all the headaches were gone.  These improvements gave me more reason to stay in Canada rather than leave. I have not felt good at all but now that I see changes every week and am happier.

​

​

-My IT job is too stressful and I found that the few pains left my body on the first 2 hours of therapy and never came back even after over a month.  Then as I learned how to let go, more benefits emerged.  I found my energy and mood improved...and .became aware that my mental attitude was too intensely cogitative.  I learned that I can be less intense and more joyful overall. My energies are funnelled better.
