Recovery from concussion

“After my concussion, the doctors told me I’d be fine in a week. I was not. More than a month later, I was still wearing sunglasses and earplugs indoors and asking everyone around me to move slowly and speak softly, if at all. Someone had previously recommended Matrix Repatterning to me, but I had brushed it off because the name sounds so “new age-y.” With a bit of desperation and a second recommendation, I decided to give it a try. I was wrong. It is not new age-y at all. I was so impressed by the methodical evaluation and analysis process. What really blew my mind, however, were the incredibly subtle hands-on adjustments, during which I could feel my body relaxing into a completely different way of holding itself together.

“Matrix Repatterning was the single most impactful part of my concussion recovery. The difference I felt after the second session, and much more so after the sixth, was unimaginable. Each session marked a major step forward in my recovery. I was feeling a bit hopeless before I connected with Christine. Now, her work is the first thing I recommend to anyone recovering from a head injury, whether weeks, months, or years later.”         J.K.            

"I was thrilled to discover that Christine was offering Matrix Repatterning services so close to home. When I began working with her, my initial complaints were primarily hip pain, but one thing led to another in terms of discovering all that my body needed from this amazing new treatment modality. Christine's competent, professional care and kindness made my experience of our sessions very comforting and nourishing, and the results have been amazing, not only for me but for others I have referred to her. My hip pain is fully resolved, and knowing this resource is available nearby is very reassuring. Thank you, Christine! We are so lucky to have you here in Takoma Park! "   J.C.

"Matrix Repatterning has helped me with chronic, complex pain patterns related to 2 serious falls and early trauma. The work is very targeted and precise and unwinds pain and tension in surprising ways. I always emerge from a treatment feeling like things are reorganizing in a more coherent way, without overwhelm. Christine is skillful and compassionate, drawing on her years of personal and clinical experience. We are lucky to have her and her expertise in this community."  A.D.

“I had a lot of damage to my body from high school and college soccer, several car accidents, a meniscus tear in my left knee and subsequent surgery on that knee, and a bad case of Covid-19 in March 2020 which did some damage to my heart and the nerves going down my left arm. I had seen so many doctors and bodyworkers to “piece my body back together”. Those providers helped me immensely, but I was still having pretty significant pain. One of those providers suggested that I seek some Matrix Repatterning sessions. I had never heard of Matrix Repatterning, but I decided to schedule several sessions. After those sessions, I just kept coming regularly, as more and more of my body felt “fixed” and stopped hurting.  The session consists of some intake updates (How have you been feeling? What’s hurting or feeling like it needs to be addressed today?), followed by the actual “session work”. The session work consists of lying on a massage table, fully clothed, while Christine uses a magnetic scanner to identify restrictions in the body; and then uses those same scanners to release the restrictions to allow for smooth energy flow in the body and increased movement and range of motion.  Although it is difficult for me to describe the technique, what I do know is that it works. Christine is not only a Matrix Repatterning Practitioner, but she’s a trained nurse practitioner. She’s empathetic, kind, and knowledgeable. I am so grateful that I was referred to her, as my body feels better than it has in years, as a result of her treatments. I highly recommend Christine’s Matrix Repatterning services. It’s like the key that has unlocked physical healing for me.”  Lori N.    Olney, MD
