Report
I discovered Marjorie 36 years ago. While I had not seen her in 34 years, her "muscle memory" mantra stayed in my consciousness. I knew she would be the one to help my sciatica and cervical nerve issues. We reconnected and she's teaching me the anatomy of MY body, in order to take control and strengthen fundamental muscles to align my bones and avoid pain. In 3 weeks I feel so much better and I know she is tuned in to me, both privately and while in class!
