Injury Recovery and Deep Relaxation since 2002
Dearest Clients,
After 22 years of palpating, stretching, efflourageing , engaging meridians, and getting to know so many wonderful people I will be retiring on February 1st. After completing the Master of Social Work program at Saint Mary's University I have been hired at Nystrom and Associates to be an outpatient and DBT therapist. Please come in for one last session and say good-bye. You have all taught me so much about overcoming challenges and living life to the fullest.
All the best,
April Fleck
