“Starting physical therapy with Amy seven months after my second cesarean has been a game changer! In just one session, months of chronic pain was immediately and drastically reduced to nothing, it felt miraculous! From the first phone call to our most recent appointment, she has been thorough in communication, helpful with resources, savvy on health topics and on point connecting in with my body. I leave her office consistently feeling physical relief, supported and inspired to move forward in my healing process. My family and I so appreciate Amy’s work and will be recommending her far and wide.” Cristine
“I am writing to recommend Amy and her services. I gave birth to my daughter Henley via C-section. Henley seemed very uncomfortable from the start, unable to lie flat, very gassy and not smiling. I visited the pediatrician three times in the first week of her life because I knew something wasn’t right by her obvious discomfort. I was told that her symptoms were “common” and to give her medication to help. In speaking with Amy I finally got the acknowledgment and assistance for my daughter that I had been seeking. Just because it is “common” doesn’t make it “ok” and Amy explained to me that my daughter had abdominal diastasis. Amy not only helped bring comfort to my daughter but helped educate me. I learned that when a baby is born via C-section there are steps in the birthing process that don’t take place take since the baby does not travel through the birthing canal. Amy was patient with me and nurturing with my daughter. After each visit my daughter would be all smiles and I could see the change in her immediately. After just a few visits I noticed a huge improvement in my daughter’s digestive health. As a mom I am so grateful to Amy and the support she provided us.” Katelyn
“With the birth of my daughter I had a pretty bad tear and it took me weeks to heal from it, so during my second pregnancy I was really nervous that that would happen again. I had the privilege to meet Amy and she shared with me that she could work on the scar tissue where I tore and that it would drastically reduce my chances of tearing again. I was thrilled to hear that news and willing to do anything to prevent going through that again. I met with Amy at the end of my pregnancy and she worked on me for about an hour, doing both internal and external treatment. She made me feel very comfortable in what could be an uncomfortable situation. One week later my son was born 9lb 9oz. The labor was fast and I didn’t tear! I would highly recommend Amy to all pregnant women.” Heidi
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to give my personal experience journey with Amy while vacationing in Arizona this past winter. I was familiar with MFR through my own therapist in Illinois. My IL therapist is trained in the John F. Barnes style of MFR and strongly recommended I stay with a therapist with the same training while on vacation. I was delighted when Amy popped up in my search and she was less than 10 minutes from where I was staying. I have scoliosis which causes me grief and long travel drives do not help. I am also menopausal and was thrilled to find that since Amy is a physical therapist, and in Arizona one does not need a physician order for a PT, she could do pelvic work on me. Due to dryness, age etc. having sex had been a thing of the past due to pain and lots of discomfort. Imagine my delight after a few sessions of pelvic work my spouse and I were able to have fun again. Who knew that MFR (along with hormone therapy) could make such a difference in my life. Amy also worked on my scoliosis each session as well. But what really impressed me was an experience my husband had in session with Amy. We had both finished reading Healing Ancient Wounds by John Barnes which Amy leant us. So we were familiar with terms like unwinding etc. While Amy worked on my husband’s shoulder in a couples session to show us how to work on each other, my husband suddenly started crying. This continued for at least half an hour. It was awesome to see his response but I felt jealous as I would love to have that kind of release. It was very powerful and not scary since we had read the book. He just started going to my MFR person for help with back and knees. I love that a holistic and natural way can make such a difference in your life. Amy’s caring nature and willingness to try different methods to make you feel better are A+. We plan on continuing MFR with Amy when we return in December.”
