Relieve chronic Pain course

Before the Course, I was stuck in a lackluster mental response to managing arthritis pain/stiffness, headaches, and COVID isolation . . . I enjoyed both the relaxing meditative moments and jazzed-up movement segments in the course. As with a lot of people, I tend to be in my head. I found myself reframing “flat” self-talk for more uplifting phrases that helped my overall mood. Many thought-provoking opportunities were included in the program and I felt valued by Teresa through my participation.

This was my first experience dancing to live drums. I didn’t know what to expect. But something happened that is hard to explain. It was as if I stepped into a beautiful space and thought this is what has been missing... and right now I believe it was the combination of Terri and Chuck. I can’t image anyone else creating that space for me. Yup, I am hooked.

For someone who had lacked the self-confidence and desire to try something new, the Nia Meditation was a night of being able to explore my own path. It was the first time I moved without anybody’s disapproval or criticism. Thank you for allowing me to grow!

I received permission to get out my head (which I am always in), to stop analyzing, to surrender to the moment, relax and have a purely enjoyable time just being me.

Calming the mind to meditate is not always easy! The Nia Moving Meditation was a way for the body-mind-and-spirit to make that spiritual connection. I love it!

Teresa has an inner glow that exudes joy, happiness and peacefulness all at the same time. Everyone shines in her presence.

You are my teacher not only because I take your classes but because like the Marianne Williamson quote says, you let your light shine so brightly that it gives me permission to let my light shine.

I connected with my body and with myself. It felt so good. Your classes are such a gift! We had such a nice group. You make the sessions so safe and wonderful and healing for us. I am so grateful.
