I am sharing a short note from a loving mom whose baby had life-changing therapy at a 2012 Montana training. These emails are what gives me joy in life. I described his original story in this video.
He was very tight and twisted but freed up nicely with three days of therapy. She mentioned that he was now starting orthodontics, so I gently reminded her to see an orthodontist who would be kind to his craniosacral fascial system.
She wrote the following beautiful note, sharing her gratitude for all of the blessings of his childhood. I am grateful for parents like her.
“My son is doing wonderfully. He is super smart, witty, and a true little gentleman. He is a daily reminder of how amazing it is to be a mother.
“He’s at the top of his class, excelling in math. He also recently came in second place in his entire school for the yearly spelling bee contest and fourth place schoolwide in the geography bee. He seems to be well above his years in age and maturity—a true old soul.
“He’s brilliantly talented in music, playing the violin and guitar. He’s picked both up so quickly. I didn’t even attempt to try and teach him. He could be the one to teach me, really.
“Above all, he has a heart of gold. He is always looking out for the underdog, offering an elderly person an arm, or opening a door. It’s as though he just came packaged with those good instilled human instincts.
“We’re just so grateful for his life, the joy he has brought to us, for his continued health, and his wonderful human spirit. He’s going to make a strong contribution to this world, and we’re just so full of pride and blessed that God borrowed him to us for this short time we have on this earth.
“Thank you for reaching out. God bless you for your wonderful work and for allowing Him to continue to work through you to bless others.”
