Celebration time!!!
As of last week, Hanna has been medically documented to have a 71% reduction in seizure activity. This is unheard of!
Practically what this means is that Hanna can live life pretty much seizure free!
For those who don't know Hanna, or haven't followed her story, Hanna has had to live her whole life between the fragile dance of normalcy and the unpredictable. She would never know when a seizure would seize her body, scattering dreams and plans like a fallen cup of coffee.
Sometimes they would come in succession, more than one a day. And in the aftermath of relentless fatigue and confusion, she would have to battle to reconstruct her thoughts and reclaim her shattered sense of normalcy.
With each seizure, the familiar rhythm of family life would come to a grinding halt. Activities and plans would be put on hold as they redirected their energy and attention to navigating the uncertainty and aftermath surrounding Hanna's condition.
Hanna's turnaround in reclaiming her life began just a little over a year ago.
It is here through a repost that I will let her tell her story. It was originally posted Nov 11/24. See below for the original blog.
Nov 11/24 original blog:
Hi: I'm Hanna.
Did you know that miracles still exist?
Since the age of 3, I have lived with seizures, sometimes having consecutive seizures in a day. Confusion, loss of memory and muscle weakness, to name a few, took days to get over.
To say it bluntly, I didn't have a life. My world revolved around my medical issues.
I met Dorothy 7 years ago and during this time she not only walked me through many difficult past seasons, she also taught me how to step out of the familiar life I lived, that was both crippling and debilitating, and helped me to cultivate change for a better future.
In 2024, I stepped into Dorothy's group program specifically focused on the progression of how stress played into physical health issues. What I learned was a more effective way to deal with stress, so my seizures weren't being triggered.
I grew to understand how stress played on the weakest points of my health by the emotional triggering of my brain, which in turn created a domino effect on my physical body. Like a trip wire setting off a bomb.
What was fascinating is that I learned, the bomb didn't have to go off if I handled my stressors in a different manner.
As I began to understand and apply what I was learning, what began to happen was nothing less than short of a miracle. A month into the course, my seizure specialist told me that my seizure activity had reduced by 27%. Know that this is unheard of in the medical world.
Soon after, as I kept applying the tools, more change began to show as my doctor now informed me that my seizure activity had been reduced by 42%.
And even better...to date I have been medically documented to have had a 53% seizure reduction, with no change in medication!!!
Then, just recently, what's even more over-the-top amazing is even an extremely stressful situation, that in the past would have easily triggered my seizures...DID NOT TRIGGER ME!
Before I met Dorothy, I had tried everything, but what she offered in the limbic/somatic training was sooooo invaluable!
For anyone out there that has a medical issue, know that this brain/body training isn't specific to seizures. The same principles are the same for everyone, whatever health issue you might be struggling with. But as I learned to apply what she was teaching, my seizure activity began to lessen.
It was through this training that I have learnt to control the seizure activity in my body, specific to understanding the emotional triggers and the neurological somatic responses!
Since group has finished, Dorothy has, with great intention, been mentoring me and I'm now being launched as part of her mentorship program.
Know that my heart's desire is to bring the same level of healing to others that she has brought me, and if my story can encourage you to put your name on a waiting list for the next 8-week stress reduction training course so that you also can learn to stop the slippery slope to your own stress related disease or discomfort, I invite you to click on this link and listen to me personally tell you how much my life has changed.
