"I never had realized that slouching might actually put pressure on my prostate and cause difficulties later in life. I do find that I am correcting my sitting posture automatically, and find myself subconsciously standing taller. Richard M

"As a result of a fall down a set of stairs, I suffered an injury to my upper back and knee and was having constant daily headaches. Learning about body mechanics and how my back and shoulders were curving forward instead of remaining in line, has been game changing."

"At 84 years of age, I was becoming aware of increasing muscle “weakness” which was resulting in difficulty in standing up from a sitting position. I was also aware of a decreased sense of balance. I can now rise from a sitting position without touching armrests and other supports. After some practice, I can also now stand on one leg and remain balanced. This increased sense of balance is very helpful in one’s latter years in order to avoid falls".

"I wasn't exercising at all. I'm more conscious of my posture and sitting upright."

My knees hurt so much that I could not enjoy my walks like I used to. Nicole showed my how my feet were affecting my knees. I did the body mechanic exercises for 2 days and was so excited to show Nicole the change in my bunion and now my pain was gone.

Usually when someone talks to me about deeper levels, I get very overwhelmed and don't understand what they are talking about. But that was not my experience, and that is very exciting for me. Nicole explained things to me, and talked me through things in such a way that I felt success in what I was being asked to do. And that was extremely helpful

I don't have near the tension, the occipitals, in my neck, that tension in my cranium that is happening, and I feel taller. I found it very restful. Nicole is a wonderful teacher with a lovely voice helping me to connect with things that I haven't been able to connect with. There is some trauma there, and I kept thinking I can't connect there. But, I was lead to connect, go inside my body, shutting out the stresses of life and it was such a gift to do this. Standing against the wall, hurt but gave relief throughout the diaphragm. There were exercises that were easier and others that were harder. The combo was really good. She kept the session to a time frame that stretched me but did not overtax me. The day after I still notice the difference in my tension level in the cranium.
