Hey Shannon.

Long story short. I had 37 treatments before deciding I wasn't receiving any benefit. Now, I believe that it was helping others. But not me.

Good luck with your treatment.

Oh Bob I’m so sorry. This being my field I have a real ethical problem with this. I hope you find help that meets your needs. 💛

I am glad the therapy helped you. 💛
