“In short, the session helped me connect on a deeper and more meaningful level with different aspects of myself.”

“I had a unique opportunity to gently connect with real trauma in real time with Marci Mearns. I am new to this type of engagement, I had no expectations. I had no prior experience with this type of healing work. I basically had no idea what I was in for.
“I felt the session was a very powerful tool and gave me an opportunity to see/feel areas and engage with them. I felt like I was confronting a part of me in a way that felt like relationship building…
“I certainly believe that it helped me calibrate my relationship with my trauma. I felt like I was able to start gaining control over it, or perhaps at the very least, develop a healthier relationship with it. JD

“Rage, shame, hate and despair are more than troubling feelings. They are states of consciousness that for decades isolated me from my talents and vitality. They robbed me of sleep, the ability to think and imagine, and corrupted my relationships with myself and others. VAST techniques such as Somatic Mapping and Reclamation helped loosen the chains that years of trauma wrapped around my mind, body and soul. But it was Marci’s presence that empowered these techniques. Her ability to track, abide with and guide me through the maze of unavoidable chaos turned techniques into moments of transformation. One such moment at a time, that’s how healing works for me.” RH

“I actually had to try and remember what the issue was because that VAST session we did completely exterminated it.” AD

“When I came to you, my body no longer felt like a place I could rest. Stress and anxiety had narrowed my world until I was living in constant alert, sometimes so overwhelmed that I sought the emergency room simply to feel safe again. I was surviving, but I was not settled inside myself.
“Working with you through VAST offered something rare: a gentle return to my own body. Through your steady presence and the depth of the work, my nervous system began to soften and reorganize. Safety was not imposed or explained—it was felt. Slowly, my body remembered that it did not have to brace against every moment.
“What shifted was more than relief. I found trust again—trust in my sensations, my breath, my inner signals. I learned that regulation could arise from listening rather than pushing, from allowing rather than controlling. The work met me exactly where I was, without force, and from that place, change emerged naturally.
“Your work carries a quiet power. It does not demand transformation; it invites it. I continue to feel its influence in how I meet stress, in how I return to myself, and in how I move through the world now. I am deeply grateful for your care, attunement, and the integrity you bring to this work.” JC
