My Story
While I had already experienced how powerful the Body Code can be to heal my childhood trauma, it wasn’t until an accident I had several years ago that I considered doing this work for others. I had a traumatic fall of 15 feet off a ladder in my backyard while tending to our orange tree, which resulted in a proximal humerus fracture where a surgeon had to reattach the bones in my arm with metal plates. In the days waiting for my surgery, I believe my body tried its best to heal itself already and this resulted in a heteretopic ossification, a bone growing in my soft tissue. At first I thought one of the screws had been badly placed and was sticking out of my skin, but it turned out the bone had grown several inches over 2 weeks and was now blocking my range of motion as my shoulder could no longer rotate. I did not want further surgery as the scar tissue was already more painful than I could manage. I worked energetically on myself at home over the months that I received physical therapy, until one day my physical therapist confirmed that my heterotopic ossification had reabsorbed itself and was now only one quarter of its original size. I was able to regain my full range of motion! My physical therapist admitted to me she had felt very sad upon meeting me that I would experience such a big loss at a young age. She considered this a true miracle! As for me, it meant the world that I could play with my son with my right arm and carry him again after so long!
