Testimonials and Honors from Harrisonfields Modern Bodywork – Clients of Marcelline Harrisonfields
I’m a 44 year old active man (6’0 190lbs) that has worked on my feet for my entire adult life. After an MRI revealed 2 major herniated discs (L4 & L5) I was scheduled for surgery (my second on L5). Not wanting to go through surgery for a second time, I turned to Marcelline.
Just a few short months ago I was on the maximum dose of medication, had a difficult time standing up and moving and could not do some of the most basic movements. Life had ground to a halt. After more than 6 epidurals I still had a 5 week period where I couldn’t get up out of bed or out of the house. I was incredibly depressed and looking into disability.
Now I am training for a triathlon (a mini sprint), free of ALL medication and fully functional. I am back to being active, can stretch out (something that I could not do for 10 years) and feel amazing.
My entire outlook has changed – I’m far more positive than ever and am able to enjoy the simplest physical movements like never before. When I cancelled my surgery even my doctor was astonished at my level of movement.
When you get to the point of pain that I was at you’ll try anything. As for me, I wake up with the proof every morning. For anyone who has back pain, trouble standing all the way up, sciatica (mine was horrible), I would absolutely recommend this.–Jason Thompson
Marcelline worked with the U.S. Army on soldiers about to be deployed. She was awarded A military coin, an exceptional honor by a Lieutenant Colonel (who has only given this honor 3 times in 30 years of service) for the effectiveness in removing stress using her body work methods.
“I had a very low self-esteem and with many fears of making mistakes in life. But not anymore. After my sessions with Marcelline, I feel very much in control of my life. I’m even more positive in my mind & energy everyday. I feel like everything is possible. The sessions have affected my life dramatically and changed it forever for the better, I feel a new person with confidence and willing to do anything. I recommend it for anyone wanting to take their life to a new and incredible level. Thank you so much!” -Karen Gisela from Colorado
Anxiety used to rule my thoughts, emotions, and moods. Anxiety interfered with my studies, social, and professional life. Medication was not the route for me. My goal was to heal the root cause. Therapy, acupuncture, and hypnosis were all beneficial, but my anxiety would always reappear. Working with Marcelline has transformed my life. Marcelline’s gentle and supportive approach has helped me beyond what I thought to be possible. My anxiety is nonexistent, my confidence has increased, and my relationships have improved. I am now excelling in my doctorate program! The best part is after each session I feel that another layer of my authentic self appears. My heart sings with gratitude. -Tatum
“Dear Marcelline, I want to thank you so much for your amazing treatment that I received a few months back. I had no idea what to expect from your treatment, but I can say it really helped me tremendously. I broke both legs and had a major injury to the cartilage and soft tissue of my back and hip and have been undergoing rehabilitation for 9 months with daily Physical Therapy, Osteopathic treatments, and acupuncture. However, before your treatment, my progress had slowed to a halt and I was seriously considering surgery. Now after your treatment, all of this has changed, and along with a new exercise and stretching regimen I am doing so much better. I am having less pain, less restriction, and getting healthier and healthier by the day! I so wish that you lived closer as I would love to see you weekly as I know I would be healed in no time! You are a truly gifted healer, and you really helped me remove a layer of trauma and stagnation in my legs and pelvis and I am so grateful. If you were local I would refer you many patients who needed help with chronic pain and injuries that were slow to heal. Your treatment could only help.” Again many thanks and all the best, Dr. Morgan Camp M.D.
I have had three sessions with Marcelline. When I first came to her my anxiety was so bad that it was hard for me to get out of bed. After the first session I felt different immediately after. I remained in a calm state for a week. I also noticed that I felt more centered in myself throughout that time. When anxiety arose, it was no longer crippling, it arose and then fell away. What used to shut me down for a day was now a passing feeling. After three sessions my anxiety level has receded almost to nothing. I am no longer controlled by anxiety and have gained confidence I never knew I could have. It has changed my life. – Brianna Thene
I was referred to Marcelline by a friend who had excellent results with hip pain. At the time of my first visit my reason for going was stiffness/lack of mobility in my left shoulder.
To summarize my results, one day after a number of visits the stiffness in the shoulder was gone, I was doing yoga and I remember thinking which shoulder was bothering me?
My level of happiness/joyfulness keeps climbing. People have even commented that I look happy! And seriously I have never been happier, joyful or more grateful in my entire life. Of course I can still experience sadness and grief which I embrace fully. I have referred more than 20+ friends to Marcelline and my friends are seriously pleased and benefiting from her work. -Scott Hedberg
“An incredible experience that is beyond description. Everyone must have this done.” —Lieutenant Colonel Joe Marsiglia U.S. Army Reserves
” HOT FLASHES! They’re gone!!!!! I’m 53 and have had hot flashes for 9 years after a hysterectomy. My aunt is 71 and still has them, when my grandmother died she was still having them! I met Marcelline on a visit to my son in MN 1 month ago. What a lovely lady and spirit. We talked about multiple health issues, but my hot flashes were top on my list. I experienced as many as 8 a day. I would just break out in a sweat and took forever to cool down. I worked with Marcelline and have had no hot flashes~ ZERO HOTFLASHES! I’ve had 3 “warm spells” in a month and what I mean by that is just that, I’m warm for maybe 2 minutes and then it’s gone. This is definitely life changing and I can’t wait to go back to see her to work on other health issues! You know what else I’m excited about….. I’m able to wear sweaters again and long sleeves!!!!!! THANK YOU MARCELLINE! Much love and blessings as you use your healing gifts to help all of us. ” -Dee Hemerka; Pennsylvania
