There is no way that my wildest imagination could have been able to capture what has happened during my first sessions with Gabriel. What had seemed unconceivable, began to turn into a world of new movement and awareness. A simple toe injury 7 years prior resulted in a systemic loss of proprioception, and inability to keep balance. With no acuity or feeling in my legs or arms, every moment was spent trying to stay vertical and not fall over. Gabriel’s uncanny intuition, and ability to interpret and provide the specific neurological support demanded in our sessions, somehow enabled my nervous system to realign and regain a new sense of proprioception and balance. My awareness has shifted from the short-sighted 2-D existence to a wide-open 3-D existence. I can now feel my body in space, walk with balance, and feel my surroundings again. It is an amazing metamorphosis, having shed my stiff straitjacket for new and amazing twisty movements, simple things most people take for granted. To me, it is a new world.

Working with Gabriel and Aubrey over the past three months has been a transformative experience. When I first came to them, I didn't feel safe within my body and struggled to understand the brilliance of my autonomic nervous system in trying to protect me. Despite having worked with many healing modalities, I was still judgmental and expected my body to react calmly.
Gabriel and Aubrey helped me understand the connection between the autonomic nervous system, traumatic events, and chronic illness. They opened my eyes to the richness of the nervous system and guided me towards feeling safe and connected to my innate body, as well as experiencing the safety of being in and with a community.
Both practitioners are powerful, gifted healers who go beyond the paradigm of traditional healthcare. They are compassionate, heart-centered, and creative in their approach. Through working with them, I have learned so much about myself and feel more confident, more like myself, and more at home in my body.
Thank you, Gabriel and Aubrey, for your incredible work and support!
