SCIATICA AND CANCER - Edna

I had injured my back approximately four years ago and developed sciatica in my right leg. After treatments at the Sports Injury clinic, I was still bothered with numbness in my leg. I started going to Mary Jean for Therapeutic Touch (TT) treatments hoping it would help with the numbness. My numbness in my leg disappeared and I found the TT extremely relaxing and was pleasantly surprised that my longstanding anxiety problem greatly improved.

Over the years, I have continued to see Mary Jean approximately once a month. She has now added the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to her practice.

I had previously been treated successfully for ovarian cancer five years ago and in January I was again diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I am currently undergoing chemotherapy. After my first chemotherapy treatment, I became extremely ill and ended up in the hospital. Mary Jean came up to the hospital and used TT and EFT to alleviate the pain in my legs which allowed me to sleep well for the first time in days. I now go to Mary Jean once a week and she still gives me treatments while I'm in the hospital.

I feel the TT and EFT that Mary Jean practices has been extremely helpful with the side effects of the chemotherapy (e.g. bone pain, numbness in toes and feet and the "chemo fog") and has allowed me to recover from the chemotherapy treatments quicker than the previous session five years ago. I look forward to a healthier future with the help of my friend Mary Jean and her wonderful work!
