“... I have been meaning to write a long thank you for such a long time! ... My prolapse symptoms are mostly gone, and I am able to walk comfortably for long times too. ... My plantar fasciitis is pretty much gone too, and I am able to walk around barefoot now ....

I feel so fortunate to have found you.” M.H.

I of course need to practice a lot from now on but I just wanted to thank you and give credit where it is due!" – Denise B
