Nancy

"Through Spring Forest Qigong, Mary has empowered me and taught me to heal myself. I had a cancer on my nose, and she told me to tell the cancer that I loved it and to give it permission to leave my body. As I was going for the procedure to remove the cancer, I saw everything before it happened. Then, the procedure went as well as it possibly could, just as I had visualized. Spring Forest Qigong has given me a sense of control and calm. I try to start my day with 50 minutes of Spring Forest Qigong, and when my day gets hectic, I can think about those 50 minutes, and that brings back my sense of calm. Mary also helped my grandson with a condition that bothered him. He was 3 at the time, and he always said that his feet were uncomfortable because his shoes and socks didn't fit. Mary did some energy work on him, and after that, the issues with his feet went away."

"My job as a case worker in healthcare requires constant multitasking. Spring Forest Qigong is helping me to center and to find my goals and purpose in life. It's allowing me to get in touch with my spiritual self. I want to be able to use this in my job. She's a great healer, and she has some wonderful energy."

"The pain in my elbow went away after two or three sessions with Mary. In my job, I was covering multiple bank branches, and I used an “office on wheels” to transport forms and reports from location to location. Consequently, I developed a painful tendinitis in my right elbow. Even after I retired from the bank, my pain persisted. I had heard about Mary’s therapeutic massage techniques, and I decided to give Gabriel Energetic Cradling® a try. I was amazed at the results. Mary saw me every other week for 2 or 3 sessions and in that time, my pain lessened and then completely disappeared. I have been truly amazed because continued use of the elbow has not caused my pain to return. She can zero in on the area that hurts. She can tell even before she touches you. I have benefitted from Mary in many ways. She's a special lady."

Sallie

Brief Background - At 18, Sallie broke her neck in a car accident. 26 years later, she began to experience horrible headaches. Doctors diagnosed "brain stem compression", and for 10 years Sallie suffered through surgery, traction, drugs, therapists, severe depression, and thoughts of suicide. By pure chance, or perhaps by the guidance of her higher power, Sallie met Mary Gabriel at a "Woman to Woman" conference where Mary was conducting a workshop. That chance meeting with Mary has helped Sallie make dramatic improvements in her life.

"Before I met Mary, I felt as though I had lost my soul. For weeks and weeks, I felt as though I had a huge, ugly bruise in my chest. The bruise felt 'mean spirited'. "I went to Mary's home for a class, and while I was sitting in a chair, I felt that the bruise was gone. Others could see that I looked different when I left.

"I was just a shell of a person. Now I'm getting my life back. I'm taking my grandkids to plays and doing things.

"After all I've been through, I never would have thought that Mary was the answer, but..."

"She's a walking miracle. It's been a dramatic change. After 2 hours with Mary, she was a different person. I have my mother back."

Dawn

"Issues used to eat at me. I didn't know how to handle it. Now, I'm not so negative any more. That's been a joy for me.
"Now, my goal is to help others."

"The retreat provided a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with myself and learn important life skills. The exercises, meditations, and teaching sessions all worked together to increase our understanding of healing and loving ourselves. Mary brings an inner wisdom to the information she teaches which provides a unique learning experience not readily available elsewhere. I left the retreat with valuable knowledge that I have been able to utilize in my daily life.

I suffer from Meniere's disease which causes me to have vertigo or dizzy spells. I had been having them fairly regularly, but since my first appointment with Mary I have not had a spell. I use her techniques to help me handle and reduce stress.
