Appreciations

My thanks to these lovely people who have taken the time to thank me and compliment me on the classes, workshops, therapy, and consultations I have been privileged to offer them:

Jodi Brown:

I met Gilberto when I landed in Panama after some and extended period of backpacking and I was in pretty rough shape.  At 46, carrying 50 pounds around on my back for a year and a half had taken it's toll on me physically.

I had had success with Feldenkrais in the past and was thrilled to find him in Boquete.  Without hesitation, I called and made an appointment to see him.  After only one private consultation and a handful of his ATM classes, the pain issues that had plagued my hip for months completely disappeared.

Gilberto is a knowledgable, kind and very gentle man.  His calm but straightforward approach to educating his patience on improving their quality of life through movement and awareness is refreshing.  I encourage anyone having issues with pain in their body to run, not walk to visit him.  I have the utmost confidence that he can cure what ails them.

Gilberto uses a combination of body/mind methods to engage body, mind and emotions to find the root cause of discomfort.  

Without masking discomfort with short term solutions, Gilberto teaches how to gently participate in healing yourself.  His education, experience, intuition and passion for learning and teaching body/mind healing is a gift for people in Panama.

One would have to go to New York or California to find a practitioner with his expertise.  I urge yo to schedule a session with Gilberto or to participate in his workshops to experience wellness that you co-create.

The regular practice of the alignment exercises for the column or body axis has given me diverse benefits:

1. My immune  system has been reinforced, because the viral respiratory episodes that frequently affected me have diminished.
2. My energy levels have increased (the fluidity of my blood circulation has been restored).
3. I have recovered control of my equilibrium because on different occasions when I have been about to fall, I managed to immediately, naturally and serenely avoid the fall.
4. My joints are better lubricated and the pain I used to feel on my knees has diminished significantly.
5. I have managed to slowly but steadily lose weight and as a consequence feel more agile.
6. My blood pressure has diminished.
7. I am correcting unhealthy postural habits that I maintained for years.
8. I have learned to get up and sit comfortably and easily from a chair.

The surprising creativity of Vitality Coach Gilberto Barria and his ability to detect the needs of each participant is definitively one of the main ingredients of this wellness modality.
