While I had never gone to her for anything but massages, I always felt like I got a 2 for 1 deal when I went.  Counseling, massage, positive energy, good ole fashion advice, methods I could use at home to naturally heal ailments, ect. My life is truly more balanced and peaceful with her guidance and love to support me on my path.

Over 10 years ago, my mother was in rehabilitation for her back and was blessed by the healing hands of Heather Dunning.  She was so pleased with her work and so highly recommended her, I went myself to see what she was all about. I had been having concerns with my right shoulder that neither my mother nor myself had told Heather about.  During my session, Heather mentioned that she could “hear” my shoulder speaking to her. She referenced my left shoulder though, so I laughed it off as that was clearly the wrong shoulder. When she told me what my shoulder was saying though, I was taken back.  She said that my left shoulder was getting tired as it has had to be extra strong lately having to carry all the weight due to an injury on my right.  How in the world would or could she “hear” this and be so dead on? She even went so far as to explain the exact injury that only the doc in the ER had told me and she was not there when it was diagnosed. When I left her office that day, I got lost in the building.  I was so relaxed and calm.  I had had massages before but nothing like this. She could hear my body for goodness sake!Most recently, I scheduled an appointment for a pre-surgery massage, to take place the night before.  Come the day of the massage, was a nervous wreck.  I take that back, Heather has taught me to always think, talk to, and treat my body in a positive manner.  I was not a wreck but rather temporarily allowing negative energy to overpower the positive of which my body had natural and uneasy reactions to. (While those reactions weren’t fun, I am proud of my body for providing to me the signs I needed to be able to heal…crying,shortness of breath, doubt, shaking, being fearful, questioning, the list could go on.  These signs must have “talked” to Heather and told her that my emotional and energy see saw was off of balance and were a cry for help.  All the time, I thought they were a cries of uncertainty and fear. Again, so proud of my body doing what it needed to to to get to me the exact help that I needed!! When I arrived at Heathers, she offered to perform a session of positive anchoring versus a massage and I agreed.  During this session, she reminded me that my mind and body are full of positive memories, thoughts, and feelings.  Sometimes, you just need a little help and focus to bring them to the surface.  During the session, I could literally feel my body transforming and the stress and anxiety weakening. When I went home that night and all the way up to surgery, I recited the words we had formed together and focused on letting those memories and feelings be on the forefront. I cannot put into words how in doing so, the entire surgery process from start to my current recovery period was completely different from my original thoughts on how it would or could be.  I was so moved by this experience, that during my recovery, my best friend and I made a piece of artwork out of the words so that I myself and anyone within my home can enjoy the beauty of positive energy (picture attached)I wanted to write this as the most sincere thank you to Heather. You have changed my life forever.  I love you!!!
