I first came to Diane because I was suffering from excruciating stiff neck pain. After that first session, I felt immediate relief and
completely pain- free in 3 days. I continue to see Diane on a regular basis. My sessions range from many different approaches, depending on what my body needs at that moment. Diane is a gifted healer, knows instinctively how to bring my body/mind back into balance

walking upright without pain for the first time in over a week. I continued with a few sessions for a few weeks, totally resolved my pain. I continue to see Diane for regular tune-ups, keeping me
fit and pain free.
