Clients rave about quality results with Body-Power Therapies of San Diego, CA

"I began getting massages from Erinn to help treat an overuse running injury, and it was immediately apparent that she knew a great deal about anatomy; she was able to give me a lot of helpful feedback about the various things, anatomically, that were contributing to the problem. "That injury is now resolved, but I keep getting the massages because I now consider them to be an essential component of all the things I do to stay healthy and fit--right up there with the running, the weightlifting, the yoga, and the daily vitamin. I am inspired to do all the things necessary to improving fitness, and as a result, I feel better than ever."

~ Sarah Z., Dean of Admissions

“I always thought that a massage was a luxury, but have found that it's a way of getting rid of those nagging aches and pains. After dealing with back and leg pain I decided that I would try a therapeutic massage and have found that Erinn from Body-Power Therapies has magic in her hands. After receiving my massage I not only feel relaxed but the pain just melts away."

~ Virginia Miller, Retiree

"Working with Todd and Erinn continues to be a wondrous journey. They both possess the amazing ability to tune into what is out of balance and then help me realign my body, mind, and spirit. A session with them is a therapeutic mix of massage, energy awareness, relaxation, and revitalization. When my sessions with them are over, I feel as if a door to continued healing has been opened within myself. I vividly remember my first Reiki session with Todd. It was like lying on an island beach and being bathed in the warm, radiant, and healing light of the sun."

~ Diane McCallum, Reiki Student, Administrator St. Mary's Church

“For three generations, the women on my mother's side have had painful legs to the touch. Though I wanted to go on more outings with my grandchildren and on shopping sprees, I couldn't due to pain in my legs, knees, shoulders, back, and feet. Climbing steps often required me to pull myself up with my arms. Doing daily household tasks and gardening was a chore and required sitting down every few minutes. Thanks to Erinn Fraser and Todd Sargeant of Body-Power Therapies along with my chiropractor, I am getting my life back. My pets can now walk on and jump up on my legs without me experiencing pain-much to the amazement of my elderly mother. I can also move my left shoulder, walk greater distances, and climb steps without pain. Shopping at the mall and being able to walk around gatherings and mingle with folks is truly a joy. And I'm sleeping better; I'm no longer sleep-deprived. I've learned that it's never too late to take your life back!"

"(2 months later) Standing at the top of the stairs with hands full of some dishes to be taken down, I pause. Those steps are so very long--maybe even a 100 feet to the bottom. Can I make it? Can I go down those steps without a sharp pain in my knee that makes me grab for the railing to keep from falling and drop my dishes? Perhaps I should just leave them up here on the counter. And then, I remember. Yes, of course I can. Because of Erinn and Todd, I can. So I go down that "short" flight of steps confidently and put those dishes away. (This)...is no "made-up" scenario, it happens to me often. There is surely a lot of retraining of the mind that has to go on. 'Amazing'."

"I had been suffering with my jaw making a popping sound and pain for some time. I couldn't get my mouth open far enough to take a bite of food. All food had to be cut in small bites for me to eat. The pain in my jaw was interfering with sleep also. My husband read an article about the work that Erinn and Todd were doing to help people relieve pain from their bodies. The article mentioned Erinn specializing in jaw pain. I went for sessions with Erinn. She read my body to realize the areas of discomfort and was able to rid my body of all discomfort. My jaw is properly aligned and working as it should. I learned how to read my body, concentrate on the energy and relieve pain if it occurs. I had a session with Todd and he was able to relieve stress and tightness in my neck and shoulder."

~ Carolyn Fitch, Retiree

"I Love to run. I have been training for a marathon for the past several months. My training schedule is intense. I have utilized Todd's massage and bodywork skills once a week, for the past month prior to the event. The sessions with him are amazing. Not only does he know how the body is put together, he knows how all the individual parts interrelate. Most people don't understand how far a marathon really is or the amount of stress that is placed upon the systems of the body, during both your training for and the actual event - but he does. He has firsthand knowledge, personal experience, and is familiar with a variety of physical training principles, theories, and techniques. During the session, he finds all the areas that need to be addressed and helps me to be aware how my body is responding to my training. The day after the session, I feel really, really, really good and it helps to set a positive tone for my training. In this way, his work has also helped me prepare mentally and emotionally for the event. Thanks to Todd's excellent massage and bodywork techniques, I am ready for this marathon."

"I've received hot stone massage, neuromuscular release, and deep tissue massage, and charka clearing energy work from Todd. Each time I felt he was completely present and responsive to my entire experience. It's been a treat for my body and soul to work with him."

~ Laura MacKimmie M.S., Life Balance Consultations LLC

"I have known Todd for almost three years. We were introduced at a therapeutic massage clinic I frequented. My regular therapist there felt that he had the skills and training that would be useful to me. I was impressed by his very careful approach. He did not rely on the information from the other therapist, but asked detailed and thoughtful questions which reflected upon both his caring nature and clear grasp of anatomy and physiology. I have had Systemic Lupus for some 30 years with all the complications that accompany any serious illness treated with high dose steroids. Todd took the time to see me as a whole person with real dreams of life beyond the limitations of the disease. My health deteriorated quite dramatically and I became wheelchair confined and then ended up spending 7 out of 15 months in a hospital, several times on a ventilator in the ICU. Todd kept working with me throughout all the difficulties, always providing some sort of comfort or relief. There were often few physicians able to be supportive and view me as a whole person with dreams and goals beyond an oxygen tank and wheelchair. The work Todd does with his hands is exceptional. He has a warmth to his touch that increases as he goes to work and connects to the energy of life. His knowledge of anatomy and basic mechanics comes into play as he seeks out those contracted and stiff muscles. His assistance with loosening up muscles has certainly helped me begin to walk again. More important than the musculoskeletal work, is the ability Todd has to understand the inner workings of the body. He clearly sees the subtle clues to the workings of the inner organs and understands how these systems are interrelated. The treatment, which I believe has benefited me the most is the "energy work". I am a physician, a university faculty member in Orthopedic Surgery, with training grounded in science and engineering. I find it hard to explain how the "energy work" Todd does helps me. I have tried numerous body therapies over the years as an adjunct to more traditional treatment for my illness. Often there has been little change other than a deep sense of relaxation. Todd seems to be able to do more. I feel more in control of my body and my direction in life, confident that He believes in me and will support me on the way to recovery. Most physicians seem to be unable to support me in that way. After so much experience the past 18 months with physicians at all levels, I wish I knew how to instill in them the ability to truly care about their patients and use all of their senses in addition to their book knowledge the way Todd does. Todd Sargeant is a gifted individual who has chosen bodywork as an opportunity to aid others. I wish I could find more like him. He has my strongest endorsement."
