“I had a migraine and jaw pain for the past 20 years. I often woke up with pain and I didn’t want to start the day, but as a mother of four, my children needed me.The pain and migraines were so severe that I ended up in the hospital several times.

I tried everything Pharmaceutical Drugs, Medical Doctors, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists and even a Nutritionist, but nothing helped.

That’s when I came to Phaedra. She helped me to see that the jaw pain and migraines came from a range of trauma issues in my life, including having two painful c-section scars and living in an abusive marriage where my needs weren’t getting met.

Phaedra helped to calm my nervous system, unravel parts of my life that were keeping me stuck and taught me how to heal my c-section scars.

After a while, Iseparated from my husband and got the support I needed.

I now feel love, freedom and more joy. The migraine and jaw pain has gone. I now feel fulfilled because I can spend time with children without pain.” – Michelle

“Since I was a boy, I rode horses easily, but I always walked funny and had a crooked body. I had severe knee pain which flared up walking, sitting and even sleeping.

I used pain medication and saw a Sports Medicine Doctor,Chiropractor and Medical Doctor. But nothing gave me long-term relief from my pain. My posture was bad and my knee pain intensified.

I went to Phaedra for help. She helped to connect me with my body where I remembered getting bucked off a horse and twisting my knee. She helped me renegotiate the trauma of falling off the horse, taught me self-treatment and, best of all, corrected my bad posture and fixed my hip and knee pain.

After just a few sessions, I could walk normally again. My coworkers couldn’t believe it when they firsts saw me finally walking straight and without limping.I wish I had gone to Phaedra sooner!” – Mark

“Over 20 yearsas an accountant I functioned like a machine: punctual, perfect, nice to others and always trying to help them. And because I couldn’t say no, I did my work, and my colleagues work because I wanted to help fix their problems.

I ended up feeling severely exhausted with intense neck and shoulder pain.Somedays I couldn’t get myself motivated to start the day. I couldn’t get up. I feltworn out and tired.

found Phaedra and then I learned how to feel like myself again. I learned to put myself first. I learned to set healthy boundaries. And I learned to bring my body back to life.

I changed my life. I began saying “Yes” to myself and “No” to doing the work of others so I could leave work on time. I became less stressed and found a new vision of life.

Now I can finally do the hobbies I have always wanted to do.And now I enjoy life. I’m back in balance.” - Monica

For over 25 years I had experienced intense pain all over my body. I had many surgeries and was in chronic pain.

I ended up feeling limited by what I could do each day.

I relied on the physical and financial care from my husband; however, I didn’t always feel supported by him. This left me feeling unhappy and scared of losing him. He was my life support after all.

My doctor prescribed pain medication, surgery and therapies but they didn’t help.

I found Phaedra, and that’s when I discovered I was holding onto past traumas from my tough childhood. What I realized was that I had been exposed to long-term conflict during childhood and didn’t feel supported by my parents, which created unhealthy habits.

Phaedra helped me work through my childhood traumas one at a time.

I learned how to feel like myself again. I learned to move through the trauma’s and learned to love my life again.

I now feel more joy, have more energy and am currently volunteering in the community.” - Beth

“For two years I had experienced intense chronic pelvic pain. Traditional treatments didn’t provide any pain relief and what’s worse is that I couldn’t even sit in a chair without being overcome with severe pain.

I went to Phaedra, and that’s when I discovered I was holding onto a past trauma from high school. I had fallen onto my tailbone when I was a cheerleader. Unfortunately, this trauma was exacerbated after I had my hysterectomy, which caused painful scar adhesions.

The result was that my body was under so much pressure, which resulted in chronic pelvic pain.

Phaedra showed me how to do self-treatment on myself and also taught my husband how to do pelvic floor work on me.

With the help of my husband and the tools Phaedra taught me, I was able to release my muscles from the past injuries and surgical scars.

Now I can sit as long as I want and my pelvic pain is gone.” - Sarah

“I had severe back pain with sharp shooting pain in my legs for over three years. I often woke up with pain, and I struggled to get through the day.

I tried working with Physical Therapists, but it didn’t work, and I was left feeling frustrated.

I went to Phaedra for help. When we started working together, the first thing she did was to investigate my trauma history. I told her that when I was 15 years old, I ended up getting pregnant the very first time I had sex.

It was a difficult time for me, as I made the decision to have an abortion and then had to face the social ridicule from my peers. But I didn’t realize this was the cause of my pain.

With Phaedra’s help, she allowed me to feel the trauma deep in my body, which resulted in my muscles finally releasing. Now that I have managed to let go of the many layers of my trauma incident and the shame I felt; I have now been able to release my back pain.

I now feel better than I ever have in my life.” - Allison
