Workshop Testimonial

"During a one-hour session, Angela Scala guided me through the steps to visualizing healing by asking me questions, double-checking my responses, and reinforcing my statements. Then, she led me through a personalized healing visualization using the information I had given her. By the end of the one-hour session with Angela, I felt uplifted and relieved. At the same time, I felt grounded and confident that I would achieve my best healing. I taped the healing statements from the back of the book to my hospital gown and went to surgery. Although I had filled a prescription for a pain killer, I only took ibuprofen on the second and third day after my foot surgery! The one-on-one interaction with Angela made all of the difference in my attitude and my outcome!"
