One of the most amazing but also most tricky things about my job is that people get better. Like, all the time.
Last week, I had two clients who I had been seeing and each one of them is now so well that they don’t need to come back anymore. This is amazing for them. But it is also a terrible business plan for me!
One, a female, came to me with the following symptoms -painful heartburn that required two different types of medication, a severe pain in her lower abdomen, bloating and wind – both of which caused distress. After three sessions she finished her last session with NONE of these symptoms left. One of her two medications she has been able to stop and the other one she has begun to wean herself off (with her GP’s approval), because she doesn’t need it anymore. She told me that after nearly 20 years of going to the doctor for help, she had never gotten so many answers or felt so well. I was hugely humbled and so so happy for her.
My other client, a young girl had come to me with exhaustion, stomach pain, feeling sick all the time and sometimes would actually be sick. Her parents were at a total loss. We had had one session and when Mum returned for a second (for a different reason that had cropped up) she informed me that all symptoms from the first treatment had totally disappeared. Such incredibly happy and exciting news for them.
Sometimes I get so used to being in this world where natural health is just a thing that I know works and I’m so adopted into seeing how our bodies are incredible and how they can heal themselves that I kind of forget how, at one time, these stories were a jump up and down type of miracle for me. That they opened my eyes to something so special that I didn’t know about before or really believe actually existed.
But now I get to see that they do exist. And actually, they exist so very often it is time for me to take a step back to remind myself that this is still amazing and wondrous and something to be appreciated all the time.
Our bodies are truly something to be wowed by and I hope I don’t ever forget to appreciate just how powerful natural health can be for us all.
