I discovered Hellerwork in 2004 after injuring my low back weight lifting .
I had been going to massage and chiro and felt pretty good, but was intrigued to see what this “Hellerwork” was all about.
As I laid supine on the table for almost the entire session, I was getting a bit worried as she had still not touched my back and that was my biggest complaint!
So i asked her….”you know it’s my back that is the problem right?”
She reassured me she knew what she was doing 😂
She also informed me that she needed to help loosen fascia that was connected to my back and was pulling my pelvis forward.
A light bulb went off as she explained this.
Lifting weights I had spent so much time in flexion (and flexing!) and not enough time in extension!
She was extending me!
She was also helping me relax and let go.
I was so used to posing, standing flexed, and sucking everything in all the time that no wonder I was rigid, tense, and had pain.
After that session , I felt better than I had ever remembered and immediately booked another session as I wanted to do the series!
If she could help me feel this good in 90 minutes, what would I feel like after 10 more sessions!
I also looked into trainings and found there was a Hellerwork school starting that August in Victoria, BC!
I signed up immediately!
Change was happening quickly and it was exciting!
In October 2005 I graduated.
Hellerwork has been one of my favorite parts of my life for the past 15 years.
I look forward to many more years of helping people feel better in their bodies 🙏🏻
