About the Author
Acknowledgments
This book is dedicated to all of my teachers and mentors. You have inspired and encouraged me and helped me to fill my toolbox with the many natural tools that I now use to help people feel better and live healthier lives. There is no greater gift than caring, loving teachers, and I am grateful to have met each and every one of you.
I am eternally grateful to my children and siblings, who have encouraged and supported me through good times and bad. To Guru Tim,
for always knowing the right thing to say at just the right time; to Mary, for your unique way of pulling the blocks out of me and getting me back on track; to Joe, for inspiring us all through living your dream since childhood; to Pat, whose courage and determination in the face of cancer is most likely another book Mick and Loretta, you are joy and beauty beyond words.
My dear friend Ned Moore, you have provided a shoulder to cry on, groceries when I was struggling, brilliant marketing ideas, champagne to celebrate each milestone along the way and more patience than I thought possible for any one human being—thank you for being you!

Every symptom is a gift in strange wrapping paper.
I have been to physiotherapy and I have been given all sorts of exercises to try but nothing has ever worked and I just gave up. When I received your email, I thought
why bother, it's just going to be like all the rest but then something (maybe my guardian angel?!!?!) made me click on the link. You don't know how glad I was when I followed your instructions. The exercise that made the biggest impact was the one lying on your back with your legs on the couch. For the few minutes that I lay like that, there was hardly any pain and as I sit here now typing this message, I feel lighter and a lot more hopeful.

I can't tell you how good it feels not to have any leg pain after a year and a half! There aren't words to describe how grateful I am for Kathi's help.

Introduction
Me and My Back Pain
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."
—Chinese proverb
It was a dark and stormy night… No, that’s not how this started, but I always wanted to start a book that way. Hope I made you smile because that will start us off on the right foot. Laughter truly is the best medicine!
My story of back pain began one day about ten years ago when I was in my late forties. I walked into the foyer of my childhood home and looked at my reflection in our enormous wall mirror—it’s ten feet wide by eight feet high. I mean, I really looked at the reflection staring back at me—such a huge mirror reflects back your entire reflection—and I did not like what I saw. The person in the mirror was out-of-shape, overweight, stressed-out and had just thrown her back out
yet again. What had happened to me? Where did that adventurous, joyful, outside the box
thinker, who believed anything was possible, go? And who was this crippled old lady in the mirror? Hmmmm…
This moment started a process of looking within that
