She's been a client with us for a little while. And she's experienced all of the different phases that we have out HOPE Wellness Institute. But before I introduce her, I just want to tell you a little more about some of the things we do. As I said, I started with medical massage therapy, which is very specific massage therapy. Every session is Because that's what we're about is decreasing your pain. And helping you understand how a fallen arch can give you headaches, or a fall that you had 20 years ago, is causing most of the problems you're having now. We like to get to the bottom of this. Besides medical massage, we work with exercises. Yep, you can go online and find a zillion exercises for sciatica. A client came in the other actually has the energy taken from that to help your body heal in other ways. That's one of our lasers are other called the Bio Pro XL, and amazing brand new tool out. But its number one purpose is to wake up your cells that have been damaged, or become dysfunctional. All of a sudden things start healing in your body, we're not healing your body, all we're doing is waking up your cells, letting Again, we're not healing anything, we are reflecting your brain waves back to you through sound that is allowing your brain to see what it's doing. We call it an acoustic mirror. And as it sees that it begins changing its own patterns, its own behavior, it may be sleep that you're having a problem with. It could be temper or anger or inability to focus and concentrate. And ability to think at

Jessica: 9:59

Hi Venice. Thank you for having me.

Venice Sullivan: 10:00

We're excited to have you. So tell me, Jessica, what brought you to HOPE Wellness Institute?

Jessica: 10:07

Well, interesting enough, it'll be seven years May 3, since my spinal cord injury, I was on vacation, riding a bike and flipped over broke my back and pinched my spinal cord and paralyzed me immediately. So it was definitely a process not only not being able to walk anymore, but to be able to control your body at all basically, chest level down. For the next two ish years, I was

Venice Sullivan: 11:58

So one of the things I asked my clients usually when they first come in is what was your goal working with us.

Jessica: 12:05

My goal, because once I got off of all prescription pills, again, I got feeling back and with it a lot of pain. But I also got movement back. So I started to retrain my body to walk. So my goal was to deal with the foot drop issue and I was dragging my toe at every step. Doctors were then trying to say, Botox, which they would inject the calf to help lift the toe, but I didn't want to

Venice Sullivan: 12:43

I'm grateful to our medical community. Because without it, a lot of us wouldn't be here. It's important to celebrate the benefits we have, and to also celebrate the people who are going Yes. And there's other ways we can do this. Because I know I think initially you were told you would never move anything below your waist. Correct. But before we go there, your mom had a goal

Jessica: 13:12

My mom, my both of my parents have been an amazing support system, sometimes too much. But that's that's something that, you know, if something happens to your child, how do you deal with especially how life changing it is, when I was hurt, I had to move back in with my parents. And I we had to learn a whole new lifestyle together. So they were there for all the ups and downs. So my

Venice Sullivan: 14:19

So how's your independence level now?

Jessica: 14:21

Well, I live 12 houses down from my parents, but I live on my own. And I do 99% of the things on my own. The only thing is my dad takes out my trash can.

Venice Sullivan: 14:35

So hey, awesome dad, and you know, that's a testament to you and your hard work. And that's the thing I want to impress with anybody listening and the people that we like to work with is, number one, it's important that your goal is to assist and be part of your healing team. We can't heal you, we can't change your life. Life, I don't care how awesome our tools are, or my team is So Jessica, the medical massage working with you started decreasing your pain. What did we do next to help you on your journey?

Jessica: 16:17

Well, with dealing with my pain management, I was also relearning to walk, but my sensation is not there. So having that trust in my body was terrifying. I was having a lot of anxiety towards it, I was having stress, I couldn't feel my feet, I couldn't feel my legs to communicate to my brain, they were just doing it. So I felt like a floating upper half of the body. And just the

Venice Sullivan: 16:59

How's the anxiety level now?

Jessica: 17:02

A million times better. It's interesting because I get my tuneups up probably two or three times a year. And the tuneups are when I start to feel like I can't think anymore. So I start to feel, Oh, I can't focus, I can't sleep. So I'm not to that point of, oh, I'm not I can't think of my brain is going a million miles an hour, let's resets. So we have a pretty good routine that's been

Venice Sullivan: 17:36

Oftentimes, when people have a big injury, you know, like you do their sleep problems, often from nightmares.

Jessica: 17:45

That was a big thing with starting Cereset Is I wasn't sleeping, I'd be waking up 6, 7, 8 times a night. And you know, turning over and going back to sleep or having my body try to wake me up from a spasm or anything physical, but also just, it just wasn't allowing me to sleep. So then I'd be sleeping throughout the day and taking naps here and there. But when I did sleep, they weren't

Venice Sullivan: 18:13

You doing Cereset That's one of its primary goals, to help your body relax and sleep better. So that's awesome. And after that we started I think working with the PTL Is that correct? Yes. PTL is our little laser. It is designed to help neutralize pain. We call it laser acupuncture, because we're actually lasering on specific acupuncture points to send your body information. The

Jessica: 19:05

I was very, very interested in the laser experience just in general, I think Rosie, your office manager called it modern acupuncture, where acupuncture to me had been very beneficial, however, still traumatizing because the needles, the needles would set off spasms or they just didn't necessarily have the best experience with the actual needle. So to be able to use a laser and then

Venice Sullivan: 19:41

And what has it done for you.

Jessica: 19:42

It is the best thing that I've ever introduced to this. Now it's probably a combination of every other consistent activity that I'm doing to promote the healthiest me, but immediately day one I saw a difference in my legs and pains. So again with my walking, my sensation is not necessarily there, and my back would be hurting or my shoulders would be hurting, just kind of all the

Venice Sullivan: 20:32

When we're reacting to stuff. We're not even knowing we're reacting, but it's like we're cranky, we can't sleep, we can't focus, we have brain fog. All of that can be stuff that's going on, that the little laser can help with, or I call it the petite little thing. To find out if this can help you please give us a call on your mobile phone dial pound 250. and when prompted, say So Jessica, we've talked about bodywork. And I know we've used some essential oils on you. We talked about the nutrition, how the enzymes in your body wasn't working. And part of that could have been caused going back to that spinal injury.

Jessica: 21:34

Yes, so I count my steps. Every single time I walk. It's a goal. You know, most people's goals are 10,000 steps, mine's 100. Actually, I think I've upped it to 250. Now, but at that point, I said I was able to walk 240 steps without any pain, without my foot dragging, my body chemistry, and my head up and not looking at my feet every two seconds, and my knees bending when they should and

Venice Sullivan: 22:36

And that feeds my heart. Thank you. Again, I want everybody to understand that we don't know exactly what the process is going to be for your body. Each of these tools is letting your body dump off extra stress, decreased pain, increased mobility, but it's unique to you. Because your body is unique. Your experiences have been unique. You're, you're you there isn't anybody else like

Jessica: 23:30

It's interesting, that Rosie, your office manager has a pamphlet, so it said something along the lines of your computer can get viruses and and you get the software to clear the virus. But if you don't make the changes, then you're gonna get the virus over and over again. Well your body is the same way. So if you're putting the virus back into your body every time, then you're not going to

Venice Sullivan: 24:34

It reminds me of the saying from probably a couple of decades ago about computers of G I G O, garbage in and garbage out. So what we feed this amazing being that we are, whether it's thoughts or foods or everything else, is what we're going to get back. So if you are the person who would like some change in your life, who We'd like HOPE, give us a call on your mobile phone dial
