Thank you Dorit for all the wonderful work you have done with me. I love working with my ancestors and getting to the root of many of my issues with myself and my family. I have gained so much encouragement with dealing with my deep rooted family issues within myself by receiving Trans-Generational Healing. I feel you always find the perfect solution to helping solve my problems. You are the best at what you do in regards to reflexology, guided imagery and healing with the help of my ancestors.

The Brauer Institute has made a difference in my life. Ive learned so much about meditation and how to manage stress. The owner, Dorit Brauer, is so accessible and caring. Shes amazing and Reflexology with her is life changing. Her students are also excellent practitioners. I am much more grounded and relaxed having studied the Institute courses.
