Jaime Intile, Wellness Entrepreneur & Chronic Lyme Patient
For Jaime, things started in 2016 with a dog bite that activated dormant Lyme and caused a complete breakdown of her immune system. She had to step away from her career and spent the next few years trying to figure out what was happening, despite numerous setbacks and worsening symptoms along the way. She chose a holistic approach to treatment, avoiding antibiotics in favor of herbal and alternative modalities. After intensive treatment and countless consultations, Jaime eventually found a doctor who helped her make significant strides toward recovery.

Kevin Williams, Former Journalist, Tech Entrepreneur & Chronic Lyme Patient
For Kevin, his symptoms started back in 2007, and came on fairly gradually. He was in great shape and really active at the time. It began with cramping in the palms of his hands and soles of his feet, then progressed to migratory muscle pains, mostly in his legs to start. His knee started to give out for no reason and all of the sudden he couldn’t catch his breath when exerting himself. From there, he started to get worsening GI symptoms — premature fullness, bloating, upset stomach — and a knot below his sternum which inhibited his breathing, along with consistent muscle pain, especially in his hands, legs and neck. Over time, neurological symptoms started to appear, with bilateral inner ear dysfunction, heavy brain fog, processing and memory issues, eye floaters and blurriness, mood swings (especially feelings of rage) and dizziness. At its worst he had difficulty walking. Through it all, his energy levels were non-existent and the smallest chores seemed beyond him. It wasn’t until 2017 that he was diagnosed with Lyme and co-infections.

Suggested donation $5-$20 (No one will be turned away for lack of funds)

Marjorie Veiga of Well Cells Vitality Services, will discuss the use of technologies such as Rife machines, Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequencies (PEMF), Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), phototherapy, infrared light, and sound technologies for treatment of microbes, metals, and toxins such as pesticides and mold.

We’ll discuss:

–       What is the origin and fascinating history of these modalities?

–       What is the nature of frequencies all around us (a short lesson in physics)?

–       What is happening on the cellular level when frequencies are applied to one’s body?

–       Why are frequencies better than antibiotics in some cases?

–       Who is the best candidate for using such methods?

–       What is the time and financial investment necessary for this wellness path?

She will share the science in lay terms and provide examples of significant beneficial outcomes for her clients over the last 7 years.

Introduction to Meridian Tapping with Marianne Reiff

June 15, 2023

Tapping is a simple technique that creates a link between your physical and emotional experience. This powerful technique has a wide use spectrum.  As a self-help tool, EFT is easy to learn and flexible enough to be used by anyone. 

Meridian Tapping uses the same meridians used in traditional acupressure. The combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmation works to reduce the emotional or physical blocks that are getting in your way, thus restoring your mind and body’s balance. It’s like a reboot for your system.

About Marianne Reiff: 

Marianne has been introducing people to Tapping for over seven years and feels that anyone can benefit from learning this simple yet powerful technique.  If you, or someone you know is struggling with physical or emotional stress, or you just feel sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, this tool is worth considering. Tapping can help with both emotional and physical issues.  

Marianne is a Level 3 Accredited Certified Practitioner with EFT International. For more information check out her website: https://mariannereiff.com.
