Review:
As a mother I can't tell you how much pain I have in my back, head and lets face it everywhere.
When I saw this pop up for review I knew I had to read this. I am always looking for a natural way to help my body, and mind heal after a long day as mom. Not to mention teach my children how to heal after their long days.
Information is present in a "proven method" however readers need to remember that it is proven to this author but not medical science. The text explains the areas well but the art work is cartoonist and makes it harder to find the location on the body.
The editing, cartoonist art work and font type used in this book will be distracting to most readers and will not take this author or book serious. Which is sad due to the experience and information this author has for readers the editing and design makes it unappealing to mass audience.
