"Personal Fitness for the Soul"

​

“Jennifer Rivers is a healer, a teacher, and a mother. When I was going through a healthcare meltdown that was probably more metaphysical- than physical, Jen was there for me. Her work, which I can only describe as Personal Fitness for the Soul, saved me a ton of HMO dollars and sleepless nights. We tend to forget about balance and healing because healers -the earliest doctors- were a lot more concerned with prevention than pharmacology. They reminded us that food, rest, exercise, and good company were the cure for almost everything that ailed you. The most important tenet for physicians and healers lies in the words “Do no harm.”  

Doctors need to understand that, while a patient’s condition may be beyond help, it is still the healer's duty to help the patient, even if this means nothing more than helping them feel better about their condition. After my work with Jennifer, I can say, unequivocally, that she did no harm. In fact, she left me feeling better about my situation, helping me to rediscover balance and security at a time when both were missing.”
