Testimonials

"​I thought I would tell you I woke up this morning and walked up the butte.  I haven't felt this great for months.  It worked, I am a believer."

-- Chris Seubert (commenting on the use of Touch for Health Reactives)
I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment today with Mandy. She was easy to work with, positive, knowledgeable and I feel I really got something to go home with!

For 15 years, I have journeyed to find the right therapy for my problems with arthritis and scoliosis. Mandy and Pilates has been a lifesaver for me. Mandy, through yoga therapy, has given me the tools to reduce my pain and to keep moving in my active life style. She is very caring in her treatment and spends extra time finding solutions to my unique problems.

"First of all I want to congratulate you on having already helped [my client] access a profound degree of change in his body! It was so noticeable on the table that his spine had so much more ease in the passive motions that I do in my bodywork strokes. His tissue was so responsive to the release work and we had an awesome session. "

---Marta Cuboni, Pacific Bodywork
"I wanted to let you know that I had a massage yesterday and my massage therapist was amazed by how much better my muscles felt, especially chronically tight ones.  I gave her your name because she has other clients who may be interested in seeing you.  Thank you for all your help!"

-- Mindy Catlow
"Mandy has helped me relieve chronic pain in both my lower back and shoulders. She has reduced tension and taught me the skills to remain pain free through correct posture and tailored strengthening exercises, which has taught me an entirely new way of carrying my body. Perhaps the most beneficial skill that Mandy has given me is a mindfulness and awareness of body patterns that were causing and contributing to my pain. She also spends focused and undivided attention in each session, which has given me great insight into the subtle nuances and connections that are necessary for overall long term improvement. I highly recommend!"

-- Alexis Treulieb
"I have seen the effectiveness of Mandy's work through a client we share. Her yoga therapy sessions help maintain alignment and reduce the need for chiropractic visits. Our mutual client has gone from once a week chiropractic visits to once every three weeks. I feel that without Mandy's yoga therapy sessions maintaining good movement patterns, that wouldn't be possible."

-- Dr. Rob Voorhees, Chiropractic Physician at Eugene Complete Wellness
"My tailbone chronically bothered me while driving and sitting, and now it simply doesn't. It didn't take long - maybe a month or two of sessions before I noticed the change. It improved the quality of my life so much, it's kept me coming back."

-- Alison Albrecht
"Mandy Baucum, I need to say thank you very much, I went for a walk yesterday with less pain than usual because of you."

-- S.P.
"I feel like I don't even need massages now. Well, if I do, it's more for fun."

I am a retired teacher who has had major upper back pain/stress ever since I was in college and throughout my career. It has gotten worse as I've aged, to the point of interfering with a regular exercise program. I have now been in Mandy's program for three months. My upper back pain has diminished, to the point where I have relearned the use of my back muscles and rarely interferes with my regular exercise and work outside in my garden. I am ecstatic, overjoyed and so grateful for this extraordinary relief and am able to finally lose some pounds I've picked up over the course of the past ten years.

This is a marvelous class. Mandy makes it possible for everyone to do every exercise. She is an unusually astute, capable teacher who is completely tuned in to her students. I would especially recommend this class to anyone feeling creaky due to age or injury.

I have taken so many classes, and never like any of them because they are always too fast and I am never in my body. Im just trying to keep up. Your class allows me to totally settle into my mind and body and be  aware of what is going on and what it needs. You pay attention to each student , which is a gift to be able to do. I felt so good when I left the class, I thought about it all day, what we did and how it benefited me. I especially like what you said at the very end, that it was natural for our bodies to be relaxed, that we are so used to being stressed. Not exactly how you put it. I spent a very wonderful day, thanks to you.

I had a lot of pain after today which I contribute to pushing myself farther then I should of. Going back and reflecting on your words and wisdom of your teaching I now know I need to stay in the pure range of no pain no matter what others are doing. This is my realization of my goal to become stronger. I was so blessed to have had the short time I have had with you.

Just a quick update and a thank you. I had my hip replaced on Thursday...came home yesterday and am recovering at home. It went well and I'm less disabled at this point than I expected to be. Got a lot of positive feedback from the physical therapists in the hospital regarding the "position sense" I had of my hip....mostly I think because of the work you did with me...The most helpful practice for me so far for pain management has been the breathing you taught me...it was a godsend. Thank you SO much. I look forward to resuming working with you when the time comes.

You are a excellent teacher because you break movements down to their basic component parts and then add them, one to the other.
