WENDY J.

“I have worked with Melissa on and off more than 15 years depending on me and my pain level. I’ve done individual sessions, group floor work and weekend workshops. Each time I get a profound awareness of my unconscious body movement and holding. Then the floor work provides an understanding of how to release that holding. Tis then results in the pain free joyful movement. Working with Melissa is a true delight. Her passion for her work is an inspiration.”

IDA K

“Meeting and working with Melissa is continuing to change my life for the better. Her knowledge to give me confidence and ability with my walking, standing and raising up from chairs is remarkable. As a senior, I feel that I have hope for an exciting/active future. I highly recommend working with her.”

CFR is a powerful way of discovering profound healing. This work gave me tangible tools. We are limited if we just stay at the physical level. There is an emotional nature to pain and this work creates the bridge. I got to where I needed to move in an efficient, profound way. I can see where my sciatic pain is coming from, and I can shift it. This gives me hope and empowerment. I’m very grateful for this work.”

“When I first came, I had a pinched nerve and couldn’t walk. At the end of the 3-Day seminar, I was walking perfectly and the pain was gone. All the pain in my knees is gone and my neuropathy is better. I am thrilled that I came here. I am a very happy person!”

Yoko Macahilas

“My PT sent me here and told me it was wonderful. Despite everything she knew, she still had back pain for years until she did CFR. My issue was my knee I injured playing tennis — my first love. I’ve been in pain for about 3 months now. Each day I noticed my knee getting better. Today the final session was pretty special. I couldn’t believe it! My pain was almost gone. I’ve been trying to avoid surgery and find an alternative method, and I think this is it. I am very encouraged.”

David Kern

“I came to this weekend to get my continuing education units for my license. I ended up with a lot more. I thought I walked well, but now I know what it feels like to have energy, to bounce off the floor instead of being stuck to the floor. I felt so much more energy, freedom and peace. That’s what I’ve been looking for and did not know how to find. It was an amazing blessing. I feel like a whole new person.”

Holly White

“I wish I had done this years ago. It is one of the most integrative experiences I’ve ever had. . . . looking at yourself from so many angles with so much potential for health. I would recommend it to anybody.”

Miriam

“I just finished my first CFR workshop, and I feel empowered. It was cool to learn about these very simple, intuitive tools we have in our brain and body. I feel less pain and have the tools to self-manage and make things better. I’m excited to bring this into my life and watch this unfold. The group and teachers were invaluable.”

Arielle

“I felt resigned and resentful about my injuries and limitations. I saw a future of aging and shrinking. CFR went directly to the motherboard and retooled it . . . the most powerful experience in my life. It brought back what I thought I had lost. Unbelievable!”

Cynthia Yoshikawa

“I came to CFR with injuries, neck surgery pending and pain all over my body: knees, hips, lower back, and shoulders. After 48 hours with CFR, it sounds like a miracle, but my pain was 90% less than before I started. I have more hope for my ability to return to an active life like before. I’ve been given the tools to let my brain heal my body. I feel physically better . . . my mind, my spirit, my emotion — so much lighter. I highly recommend it!”
