Testimonials

“I loved my spinal flow transformation week. I highly recommend attending a spinal flow transformation week to realize the benefits. Carmen is so talented. She genuinely cares and wants everyone to experience the healing. I loved that space and the group setting. I feel like there are definite benefits to healing in a group setting and witnessing and sharing all the changes. Amazing experience!” *Transformational wellness week is 12 spinal flow sessions in 5 days.

“I have had 3 NFR treatments for a dysfunctional shoulder.  The relief was immediate after the first treatment and the shoulder movement continued to improve after each treatment.  The pain was pretty intense and has now almost subsided with the shoulder being almost fully functional.  I recommend Carmen’s work and the NFR method for relief and discomfort of pain.  After trying chiropractic treatment and seeing a physiotherapist it was a relief to feel positive results so quickly.”

““I dealt with occupational wrist pain for a good year. My wife saw Carmen for a massage and mentioned it to her, and Carmen said she could try a treatment called Rapid-NFR on my wrist. I went for two 15-minute treatments last winter and have had no pain since.”

  I was referred to Carmen by a good friend of mine and I am so happy I made that first appointment. I had tried other methods of treatment to alleviate pain in my shoulders and feet and nothing seemed to help. After my first appointment with Carmen and her Rapid NFR treatment I really noticed a difference. I had more mobility in my arms and less pain. I’ve had a few more treatments and am very happy with the results. 

“Carmen is just so knowledgeable and caring. Her genuine concern and amazing technique combine for incredible results with regard to our pain reduction and satisfaction with our therapeutic treatment! I have been seeking this quality of treatment my entire adult life and i now have found it in Carmen and my 13 year old daughter (an elite dancer) will always have her physical concerns properly and effectively addressed.”

“I was really eager to try RAPID-NFR when Carmen told me about it, as someone who frequently gets migraines, I was hopeful that it would help at least a little bit. And it did! Since starting RAPID-NFR, my migraines are not nearly as frequent and when they do happen, they aren’t nearly as bad. I will definitely be continuing with RAPID-NFR in the future, as it seems to be more effective than chiropractic treatment or basic massage therapy. Love how I feel after treatment, too. “
