Private Exercise Session 

I have been a student of the Ojai Healing Movement

about 4 or 5 months only going once a week to the

Friday class which is an hour and a half and quite a

work out for me. My body has so improved from these

classes that I finally went for a private session with Ronelle.

I thought she would work with me helping to pick out some

stretching positions specific to my body. What a surprise to

learn that she was going to do Myofascial Release on me at the

same time.

For years my lumber area has always felt like the muscles

around the spine are constricted and I can never get them to relax

no matter what I have done to achieve that. I told Ronelle this, and

she magically helped my body out of this constant constriction.

She broke the patterning that I could not do myself. It is hard to find the

right words to describe the improvements that have taken place since

attending the Body Alignment classes. I can say that my body feels

so toned and strengthened and there are areas that have become completely

free of habitual constrictions from repetitive work positions like sitting and

using a computer and mouse daily, 8 hours a day for years. I have been able to

clear so much blockage in my arms and knots in my back that have been there

for YEARS! Not to mention correcting my alignment and how I walk.

Ronelle is so knowledgeable, communicative and fun it has been a great

joy to use this information to re-educate my body to how it once felt back when

I took it all for granted.

I highly recommend the Body Alignment classes and a private session to really hone

into your particular problem areas.

I so appreciate you Ronelle and send my very best wishes for you and the work

you are doing.

Ojai Healing Movement's Alignment Classes have helped me to know my specific body and the way to move toward well-being. Being aligned allows the mind and body to use its life force most effectively and easily. My skeleton, muscles, fascia, ligaments, tendons, lymph system, blood, organs, every cell, are nurtured when I take this informational experience and apply and use it in my every day life. It takes commitment with focus to restore, relax and refresh our amazing living organism.

Teresa's work always goes very deep and creates a great sense of well being, as well as moving the energy in a very gentle way.

Heart centered expertise makes Healing the operative word. Grateful for you!

 

My session with Joe was awesome. I felt very good afterwards and since then. Lately, I've been experiencing a tremendous sense of well-being. Don't know if it's directly related to the session, but it certainly could be. I've also started running again and am having no pain AT ALL! Thanks, Joe!

Ronelle's classes alone are worth living in Ojai for!

The body work I received from Ronelle Wood was exceptional. I have had some great work done, but this helped my body on an entirely different level. I highly recommend Ronelle to anyone looking to make a real, lasting change. She is the best!!

I had a fabulous experience at the Ojai Healing Sanctuary! I began my treatment with a power nap (completely relaxing and rejuvenating) and then had an amazing myofacial release massage with Joe, that I am still receiving benefits from 2 days later... I highly recommend this healing center. The people are lovely and the center carries integrity and peacefulness.

Joe is a superb therapist. I am grateful for both his graceful, technically-gifted touch and his warm, embracing presence.
