 Patient Stories
Hi Kelsie,
I don't want to let this year pass without thanking you for the help you gave me in greatly decreasing the number of migraines I get every month. When I called you back in April, I was at the end of my tolerance for migraines. I was ready to try anything to make them stop. Finding you was really quite by chance, but calling you was one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did you work on the actual migraines, but you opened up my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about them, and preventing them. I don't think I truly believed that eight months later, I would be off the Topamax, and down to one migraine "event" or so a month.
You taught me to listen to what my muscles were saying and to believe I could make a difference in the outcome. I realize how much stress and
muscle tension led to my headaches. Most important, you gave me many techniques to prevent them. I have given up all soda and artificial
sweetener, something that used to seem impossible. I still listen to relaxation cds and do the exercises almost every day. It takes almost no effort now to feel the blood moving into my hands when I want it to. My feet still need more practice, but I'm confident I will get there. I just rewrote the affirmations that are pertinent to the stage I am in now, and that felt very empowering.
I think the most important thing is that when I left your office after the last session, I left with a new attitude and interest in dealing with migraines and stress and anxiety naturally and without drugs to the extent possible. It has truly been life changing.
I hope you are well, and wish you the best in 2009.
Sincerely,
Debbie Graus
"Kelsie's work has changed my life! Before we started working together I was having chronic daily headaches. I almost lost my job because of taking so much time off due to the headaches. I was given written notice because of my absences. Right after that happened I attended Kelsie's presentation on managing migraines and realized that her work might be the answer to saving my job.
I have had 11 sessions with Kelsie so far and I feel like I have been released from a prison! Before we started working together I had a headache 95% of the time. Now I am experiencing an increasing number of pain free days. I had up to 3 times as many incapacitating headaches before we started. Many days, if I get a headache now, it is mild and I know how to remedy it. Previously I spent the majority of my Saturdays in bed and now I enjoy my gardening instead. The results have been amazing.
Kelsie's multifaceted approach has given me valuable tools that have helped me in many other areas of my life, as well. A number of friends and coworkers have even complimented me on the dramatic changes they are seeing. It is a really amazing program. I have suffered from these headaches, both migraine and muscle tension, for 45 years. I am thrilled to be in control of my life again after all of these years. I highly recommend Kelsie's program to anyone who is suffering from headaches."

"Four months after beginning the Migraines Be Gone program my migraines declined from 4 - 5 moderate to incapacitating migraines per week to less than 5 mild migraines per month! To say I was a skeptic of the process is to put it mildly. However, at my wife's insistence I began the Migraines Be Gone program.
To my surprise, I saw immediate improvement in both the severity and the frequency of my migraines. Learning how to diffuse the stress I did not realize I had was a tremendous help and I think the key to my improvement. As an added bonus, my wife, who suffered from my erratic mood swings associated with my migraines, says I'm a much nicer person now! Migraines Be Gone works! I highly recommend it for all migraine sufferers!"

“It is with great pleasure I am recommending
Kelsie to you. I have worked closely with her for the last four years.
I have nothing but positive things to say about her, her expertise,
her care for patients, and her professional demeanor…..In
conjunction with me, she served primarily patients with chronic
pain. I never had any reservation about recommending Kelsie to any
of our patients, physicians, or attorneys representing these patients…..She
has an admirable combination of skills, positive approach, and great
sense of humor.”

“I was real skeptical about this stuff initially….but
I told my doctor ‘Kelsie made a believer out of me!’.
The work has helped me through some very difficult times. I listen
to her tapes every night for years now….when I can get them
away from my wife and kids.”

Biofeedback patient
“I have been in two major vehicle accidents which
were six months apart. I went through extensive treatment and never
improved. I was told that I would never get to full recovery. Thanks
to Kelsie’s work I am 100% recovered from my accidents and
I haven’t felt this great since I was in my teens!!”
S.S., Aurora, CO.
Biofeedback patient
“Every time I went for a session with Kelsie
she would have me rank my pain on a scale of 1 – 10. When
we started my head and eye pain were always at a #7 or #8 and when
we were done, to my amazement, it was always at #0! Her work is
like magic! Even better…now I know how to do that on myself.”
D.S., Boulder, CO.
Biofeedback patient
“Until I was in this accident I thought that
relaxation was something that ‘happened’ if the circumstances
were right. I had no real understanding that relaxation could happen
if I wanted it to happen. Thank you!”
