Araceli, 72, had recently arrived from Cuba. At the time of her first visit to a BodyTalk practitioner, she had just been released from a mental hospital, where she had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. She was heavily medicated and did not speak or smile; in fact, she could hardly move at all. The second treatment found her improved, with better energy and alertness. By the fourth treatment, she was smiling, talking and taking much more interest in daily activities. A few more treatments completed her stabilization. She was released from supervised psychiatric care and is home with her husband, feeling well.
