Karen, Spain

"Your quality of intelligent awareness and real understanding of your students is remarkable. Your generosity of spirit and intention is solid and reassuring. Most importantly your knowledge of your discipline is extensive and expert. I completely forgot to say how much better I felt! My persistent back pain is so very much improved. I can actually feel that there has been a physical easing of tension in those muscles and everything is more balanced as a result. Amazing Julie."
