TESTIMONIALS
Both marathon running and kettlebell competitions you have made me ready both physically and mentally. The training is definitely more comfortable and successful. Marie=Magic. Thx
–Stacie Schaible
I am always feeling the aches and pains of moving heavy weights. My shoulders seem to take the most abuse. There have been days when I could hardly get my arms over my head because of the pain. Marie has been a blessing to my shoulder mobility and pain relief. There is no way I would have been able to compete and place as well as I did in the Southwest Regional Raw Powerlifting meet without spending time with her. I am always amazed by my sessions with her and am eternally grateful for her healing touch.
