“I did not know that my life was about to change. I went to a vascular specialist and an acupuncturist, neither could alleviate my pain. Then I met Marjorie. Marjorie saw the condition of my leg and explained to me about scar tissue therapy and how it worked. She concentrated on my leg during the first massage and I was amazed at the immediate results. The pain had subsided and it was easier to walk. After a year of coming every other week I am completely pain free. The results of her treatment changed my life. not only for my leg but because of the overall stress relieving therapeutic experience. That certificate was the best gift I ever received!"
Debra Aronoff of Old Bethpage, New York
She had had vein removal surgery about five years earlier on her right leg. The surgery had left extensive scars. The Recovery process was very slow and over the years Debra remained in pain, especially in the areas of the scars.
“She’s the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to.”
Royal Martin of Wantagh, New York
She suffered from arthritis in both shoulders. Doctors gave her shots, told her to do exercises, sent her to an acupuncturist. Nothing worked, until she went to massage therapy at A Kneaded Break. Three times per week, became two, then one. Royal has not suffered arthritic pain in the past 8 months, but does not view the absence of an ailment from depriving herself of massages.
"I am constantly amazed by Marjorie's incredible ability to pinpoint and alleviate pain and fatigue. As a martial arts practitioner, I have come to depend on regular visits to A Kneaded Break to soothe injuries."
James Niceberg of Plainview, New York
"We have been receiving massage from Marjorie for over five years now. She is like a friend - however, this friend has magical hands and manages to make us feel as if there isn’t a care in the world. This is one feeling that we never want to do without."
Dell & Harvey Shavelson of Bellmore, New York
""Marjorie is an inspiration. She is dedicated to serving her clients and students with both integrity and excellence. The only thing that exceeds her knowledge is her desire and ability to communicate to help her students learn."
Sarah Young, M.S., Massage Therapist, Detroit, Michigan
"Much like other therapies, AIS has some therapists who need more practice, some who are very good at what they do, and some who are way over the top. I can honestly say that Marjorie Brook is the best of the best, both in her role as a therapist and as an instructor. Marjorie has the ability to teach at whatever level is required to ensure her students fully understand the AIS techniques and leave the seminar with the confidence they need to incorporate their new skills into their own businesses. Marjorie brings a great deal of knowledge to her seminars as well as the ability to explain things clearly and encourage her students to be the best therapists they can be. Marjorie is definitely my choice for an AIS therapist and an AIS teacher. "
Jen Frost, AIS Therapist, London, Ontario, Canada, www.fitnessforlife.ca
"I found Marjorie to be one of the sharpest and quickest Bodywork teachers I've met. She seems intuitively to be right on, critiquing techniques being learned, and can answer the questions of why and what fors. I greatly admire her knowledge and skill and hope to have more opportunities to learn from her!"
Tamera Snelling, Massage Therapist, Beaverton, Oregon
"Marjorie is AMAZING!! I'm usually nervous about new techniques but I was not at all during the class. Her energy and confidence is contagious and I now feel that I can practice AIS with no hesitations. Thank you Marjorie!"
A.J. Golden, Massage Therapist, Woodbridge, New Jersey
"Marjorie Brook has an exceptional gift for movement awareness. She is not only a great therapist, she has the ability to teach others AIS in a fun and interactive way. Marjorie gave me the confidence and the tools to be a successful AIS practitioner."
Sheehan McBride NSCA-CPT CSEP-CPT, Montreal, Canada
"I have been going to Marjorie for Scar Tissue Release therapy for the past 6 months for a deep, indented scar. She has been able to achieve what many doctors and surgeries have not – the scar is so much smoother and flatter. She took a scar that was “stuck” in place and made it movable and flexible again. It’s amazing what she understands about the underlying tissues of my skin. I am so glad to have found her!"
