Hello my name is Mitch Rae. This is a piece to let anyone wondering, the talent that Dorothy possesses with her work. I am 24 years old, Qualified Personal trainer, fit, Determined and driven to succeed in whatever my goals may be. Since I was an early teenager Martial arts was the centre of my life where training nights were two times a week. But in my world that was just the club training (Xtreme martial arts academy) I would start my day at 6 am with a 5 km run, and then around Midday it would be time to go to the gym working on muscle strength and power, later in the evening if it was not a Club training night, I would shoot to the local park for some Anaerobic training primarily different forms of sprints. I ate like a horse and slept like a baby. And also had great results for a long time I was the fittest person I knew and also the fastest. When I went to university for my Personal Training study, I was educated in new ways to push my body and reap new rewards/levels of fitness which undoubtedly was put into action ASAP. I was training harder than ever and my body felt excellent, which was great because I had a Black Belt Grading approaching, which consists of two 8 days of vigorous testing. Unfortunately I was stopped in my tracks one day about 4 weeks out from my grading. Due to the high amount of over training I was undertaking I managed to rip the tendons in both of my feet which resulted in collapsed arches. This put me on crutches for 4-5 weeks and then followed a very frustrating healing process. After ditching the crutches I could walk normally without any excess load on my feet, so this meant no running, jumping, kicking or weight lifting. Obviously I wanted this fixed ASAP to carry on with my goals as I had already missed my Black Belt Grading. The first remedy that was prescribed to me was anti inflammatory medication combined with Physiotherapy. This had no effect what so ever and came to the point where I just did not show up anymore. My Doctor then referred me to a Podiatrist which fitted my shoes with a specially melded Orthotic which essentially supports the arch to promote healing this definitely helped as I noticed a difference when I didn’t use my orthotics however it did not even come close to resolving the problem it served more as a pain relief during the day as I was on my feet. 18 months had past and I was in no better condition than the day I got off my crutches, my fitness was atrocious and I had another Black Belt grading that I could attend if I felt I could pass. I went to my Doc asking if there is anything else I could try, he suggested I could try Cortisone injections in the affected areas of my feet, to which I quickly agreed, four injections later in each foot, and two days of general recovery after and my feet had a sense of numbness to them, which is all I cared about and started to train my ass off for my grading. The cortisone starting wearing off leading up to my grading, it was enough to get me through the grading but shy of the Pass result I was shooting for. During this times Dorothy had been training with me at my Tae Kwon Do club and had a general idea of what was going on. One evening after training she offered me an opportunity to come see her at her business and see what she could do for my Feet, at this stage I was very over the whole issue and was almost in a state of accepting that this is what I had to deal with. However I went along, and Dorothy had me lie down while she examined my feet, she then told me what she intended to do and how it was going to heal my feet using her energy talents. So I was lying on my back, Dorothy at the foot of the table with her hands on my feet, and we had some general chit chat going, then I noticed how hot her hands had become it was quite unbelievable, she then walked up the side of the table to work on a higher point of my leg and a pins and needles sensation followed her hand and my leg, Dorothy seemed to know the whole time what was going on and proceeded to laugh at me, I guess I deserved it because I thought to myself how can we as humans live in our body for so many years and not realise the potential we have to use as Dorothy has? it was a weird feeling because in a sense I thought I Knew a lot when it came to the body but it was apparent that my knowledge stopped purely on a physiological level. Anyway at the end of my first session Dorothy informed me that my feet will in fact feel worse tomorrow! Due to the new energy flow through my feet which she had channelled and my feet were obviously not accustomed to. And she was right. The nest day my feet were quite sore even when sitting down! But 2 days later that disappeared, and this is when the real healing began to start. I saw Dorothy twice a week all sessions roughly 60 minutes where all it consisted of was me lying on a table and Dorothy standing at my feet feeding me energy. Week by week I felt my feet improving which at first I was reluctant to believe as they had been injured for so long. Then after one session Dorothy told me I am free to start running again! This was music to my ears, and as soon as I got home my running shoes were on and I was out the door, unfortunately The saying is true “our fitness does not rise to the level of our expectations, but falls to the level of our training” and I was soon out of breath and nowhere near the distance had I envisioned running. However my feet were supporting my actions and I was very impressed. Dorothy then cut our sessions to one time a week, and taught me an energy flow exercise I could perform myself, whenever I felt my feet were tweaking on me, I did this at night before I went to sleep, in my mind it was like a failsafe, to make sure my feet were in a stable condition for the next day. After three months of seeing Dorothy my Feet were healed no more orthotics, no more Cortisone or Physiotherapy. Dorothy managed to heal my feet in three months, where health professionals had failed for 18 months. And to this day I hold Dorothy in high regard, and have all the time in the world for her, as this was a desperate time in my life. As you can tell, Fitness is who I am, and two years ago that was taken away from me, which Dorothy rectified. Not to mention the hours of sound advice she has up for offer while she has you on her healing bed J . The best part of this journey was Dorothy offered her services to me, that means she went out of her way to ask me if I wanted to be healed, that makes a big difference, and sets Dorothy out from the “pack”. To anyone that has “Tried Everything” you haven’t. Dorothy is completely honest and will tell you exactly what she can do for you.
