11-3-07 Thank you for all your help with my accident and for helping with Kris. Your too amazing for words! Rebecca, Bellingham, WA (Kris lives in Belgium and we did some work via email and pictures)
8-24--07 I am so glad I found you! Your energy rebalancing technique was nothing short of a miracle for me and my family. You were able to help me with the energy stress of my home, and how I felt in each room of my house. I can now walk in and have no problems. What is even more suprising is the my kids now sleep through the night. I had no idea that would happen, and there is simply no other explaination. They have obviously picked up on my energy, and are now also calm. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Terry, Lynden, WA
9-14-07 Marie,
I’ve been using your de-stressing technique. Sorry, I made fun of it, it really works!! I actually have stopped using my St. John’s Wart and just use the technique. Sometime I have to do it a couple of times (I work with some really stupid people) but it really does help. I also have found that if I use it when I feel a migraine starting, my medicine seems to work a lot quicker and I recover a lot more quickly. Judy Mak, Brownsville, Wisconsin
Beware of Skin Changes! I recently discovered a melanoma on my husband's foot. It is site of a fire ant bite 4 years ago> It began changing suddenly and has turned into a spreading type of melanoma cancer. It is a very big deal! The doctor said that I saved his life! Be sure to check your skin often, take a digital picture every three months and date it. Then compare it to the previous one. Use sun screen, and be on guard for suspicious looking moles larger than a pencil eraser. Any swollen gland around the collar bone should be immediately checked out! I expect to have an article printed in Adventure Northwest Magazine soon! Marie

ADD/ADHD This is my children's success story.
I have been working with them as they both have difficulties with processing information that they read and write. I have been using the biofeedback techniques to identify what exactly their bodies need. Additionally, I have noticed a trend with other children with learning difficulties that I have seen in my office. I highly recommend an in office consult and testing for these kiddos. Each fall into a category of ADD/HD but have unique, individual needs. There is no one size fits all treatment, only patterns for each processing delay.
1. Yeast Syndrome or yeast in their systems contribute to their processing delays, we use Yeast Defense. 2. My son is deficient in Vitamin B5, but dosage varies according to weight. 3. Vitamin E is necessary for his circulation of the B5 and Yeast Defense, or Organic Echinacea (available from Nutrition Now, or a local health food/vitamin store) 4. Potassium to assist the muscles when the yeast die off as they should in the system. These are the constants. Individual food in tolerances vary. My daughter has OCD and ADD no HD, she takes B5 and B6, Yeast Defense, but not Vitamin E. Individual testing is important. I am able to test over the phone if you do not live near me.
If you know a child that may be helped with their issues, please make an appointment for them. My son is now able to write pages of information, rather than 3 painstaking sentences. I tested him while he was reading, and writing, so I could get the biofeedback while he was doing his most challenging brain tasks. My daughter is able to read and comprehend what she has read. I love getting the progress reports from school now. I am passionate about helping kids and adults succeed and live a pain free life on this planet! Yours in Health, Marie Matteson
E-mail attachment:
Almost two years ago I was in a high impact car accident that put me in and out of the doctor’s office and in physiotherapy twice a week for almost nine months. I was physically and emotionally exhausted from coping with my lack of mobility, and living my life with so many limitations. I woke up everyday not knowing how much my neck and back would hurt, and how many books I’d be able to carry, or if I’d be able to wash my hair without my shoulders aching for hours after.
As my other treatments came to an end, my physician and I realized I hadn’t made nearly enough progress—I was still struggling to complete daily household tasks, like making my bed and vacuuming. The daily pain I had been living with constantly since the collision still hadn’t subsided to a functional degree, and he referred me to Marie’s services as part of our new approach to getting my health back in order. Seeking her for treatment was the best and most rewarding treatment and support I could have ever imagined! After our first two hours together I noticed an immediate, positive difference in my body, and it only increased as we continued our sessions. For the first time in months I was able to accomplish everything I needed to in my daily life at home and school, to clean my grandmother’s house again and finally get my driver’s license—which had been put on permanent hold.
To find someone as passionate and thoughtful in their line of work as Marie is so rare. From the first meeting with her I knew that she would be the person to really help me through such a challenging period of my life, and with so much empathy and grace. I feel the most important part of her approach to living healthy, and recuperating from trauma is her understanding of the emotional impact on the physical being. She very patiently worked through the emotional aspects of my injuries with me, and taught me how important it was to address them (and fix them, with stress release exercises!) so my body could begin to heal. Despite the fact that some of my injury is permanent, I absolutely believe that Marie’s help is the reason I’ve come so far this year, and understand how my body works to keep it in better shape. Since I’ve known her, I’ve never hesitated to tell my physician, and people in my daily life how thoroughly helpful her treatment has been for me, and what a joy she is to work with.

"I started listening to the instructions that I got from OneMinuteStressRelease.com
website. I began to see my life differently. When I eliminated the stress, with your technique, I was able to look at my life with a new perspective! I Feel Empowered! What's better, is that I could afford to do this, unlike other treatments that are out of my budget. I can't thank you enough. Sincerely, you are an Angel." Lynden, WA
"I am Amazed, Simply Amazed. I had stomach pain and a bad headache from too much wine last night, and taking my vitamins this morning. In an instant you were able to identify the Imbalance in my body, and tell ME how to correct it. Long distance! I felt better immediately! That is just amazing! Thank you!" Anonymous California, USA
"I contacted Marie during a particularly stressful time in my life. I was suffering from stomach ulcers due, in large part, to work related stresses. In a 45 minute phone consultation she was able to teach me the One Minute Stress Relief Technique and to coach me through my first application of the technique. The calming effect was nearly immediate and lasted for several hours. One of the nicest things about the technique is that it can be done quickly, quietly and is discreet enough to be done in a public area. I highly recommend Marie and her skills to anyone under stress - and aren't we all?" Mary B., Wisconsin, USA
"Marie, you have filled in the huge gap between the medical doctor and the counseling. With your therapies, I now have answers to the health issues I have been struggling with for two years. You were able to identify exactly where the pain was, and why it was there. You peeled the layers back regarding the physical pain, helped me change my perspective and emotional insecurity. My miracle was having the pain disapear in two hours! What is even better is that you touched me on so many different levels. Physical touch, understanding the issues, and giving me affirmations that hit right on the core issues! Making the connection between the universe, the earth, and myself was huge! The change has been phenomenal! I will be recommending you to all my friends! I can't thank you enough."

A recent phone call: "I wanted to thank you for helping our son, and being part of his health care team. We were shocked when the most recent MRI the Neuro-Surgeon ordered, showed that additional surgery for his skull fracture was not necessary. We were preparing for surgery that morning, but the doctor canceled it because our son had healed on his own. The doctor said it was a miracle! With the work that you did with his fractured ribs, broken arm, and emotional trauma, his energy has been restored, his muscles are strong and he does not suffer from any lingering problems despite the death of the person sitting next to him in the car. I am grateful to you and our naturopath, Dr. Mystique Grobe for sending us to you!"

Dear Marie: "I had surgery to remove my thyroid gland because of cancer in Aug. 2005. I never dreamed I would have any trouble swallowing. but I did. I kept thinking it would get better, it didn't, then through a number of unusual coincidences I found you. You ask me if there was anything else that needed attention and I mentioned my throat problem. As you worked on me I felt the muscle relax in my throat and I could swallow normally again. I knew the real test would come when I tried to eat food that was not on my soft food diet that I had been on for several months. I cautiously added new food to my diet with out any problem what so ever with swallowing. Thank you for all your help."
Hester Smith April 4, 2006
"I tried the ESR technique for stress. Marie measured my blood pressure before we began talking. She took it again after I began describing my stress. I did the ESR Technique, in about a minute, I felt lighter like a weight was lifted. My blood pressure had dropped about 20 points! Absolutely Incredible! No pills to take, no painful life-long story, no embarrassment .....just....gone! I think she is an Angel!"

"My naturopath recommended that I have a session with Marie. She was able to figure out that I was taking several vitamins that I shouldn't be. My muscles went weak when I touched them. She was able to help with my arm pain and finger numbness! I am still in shock that it is gone. She checked all the things the doctor wanted her to, and sent a report to the doctor AND me! I will save money on buying vitamins, and better yet, I trust my self when I think that I shouldn't take something or eat it. Turns out I don't tolerate Milk or Bread! It has been about two weeks since my appointment, and I feel fantastic! Thanks to Marie!"

"Prior to your visit, I'd had pain associated with jaw clenching and teeth grinding for several years. Physical Therapy, exercises, and a dentist prescribed night guard had helped to control the problems until recently when I strained my neck completing an overhead painting project. In a single two hour session you were able to do what weeks of ice, heat and exercises had not ~ alleviate the pain and strain. I even felt TALLER!
Your gentle techniques and soothing administration were a welcome change from some alternatives offered by more conventional medical practitioners. To my mind, each has a place in the balanced approach to wellness, but yours was certainly more pleasant. Since your intervention, I have had no pain or tension in my jaw, shoulders or neck. Amazing when I consider the discomfort and stress I tolerated for years.
Beyond the muscle testing, emotional stress release and muscle balancing, I appreciate your patience in explaining your procedures and the research behind them. You left me with techniques I can use on my own for the problem your treated and any others that may come up in the future. For this I am truly grateful.
My hope is that others will find you and the relief your techniques offer."
D.L. Seabury, Bellingham, WA
"I have had an opportunity to evaluate the stress reduction techniques that Ms. Matteson applies. They appear to be extremely helpful, in a non-threatening way. They also allow the individual to carry home many of the techniques that she teaches. I believe that this process may offer an exceptional opportunity for any individual who suffers the adverse effects of stress."
M. W., MD July 2005
"Since August 1999 I have had chronic neck pain due to being rear ended in two car accidents about one year apart. Both times my head broke the rear window out (of my pick up). Marie has fixed that problem with her Touch for Health (registered trademark here) and Emotional Stress Release. I would recommend her to anyone who has skeletal or muscle pain. She is totally amazing! I can't tell you how good it feels to be able to move my neck again, Pain Free!"
W. Anderson, Public Works Employee
"I have tried pills, exercises, chiropractic and acupuncture and my back pain never went away. Marie was recommended to me by Dr. Grobe of Bellingham. After two sessions I feel taller! ... I no longer have any pain in my back."
I. S. Bellingham 1-05
"I came in with pain in both legs. A 7 on a 10 pain scale. Marie used a combination of Emotional Stress Release and a 14 Muscle Balance (TFH) to correct my problem. It sounds more complicated than it was. In 45 minutes my pain was gone! ZERO!"
M.H. Bellingham, WA
"My son has difficulty with reading and writing in school. We have tried many things to help his learning style. Marie explained that she didn't have a magic answer. She explained to my son that he could take action to help himself. What a concept! She identified several areas that he could improve his coordination & specific exercises for him to do at home. She was thoughtful and caring in her approach with my teen aged son. His reading scores began climbing, and more importantly he says he sees the words differently now. I would encourage anyone with a child that learns differently to give this approach a try. It certainly worked for my son!"
