I received a great review of my book recently from a retired health educator who asked to remain anonymous. Here it is:

Michael

Your book is a glittering gem! A beautifully crafted tribute to a half-century of somatic discovery. Your handsome posture (and acture) illustrated throughout the book heralds to all with eyes to see the value of your contribution to the bodywork and movement therapy literature.

The layout of your book is spacious and well considered. I particularly like the ease and utility of finding a topic explained within the space of two opened pages. Your crystalline-clear pictures are expertly photographed with well-visualized pertinent details. The associated captions and arrows act as poignant reminders useful when the inspired viewer gets off the couch and personally explores your method.

Of pictorial note is the strikingly vivid spatial orientation made possible by your visual heuristic of a pelvic globe with its rising spine. Throughout your book it enables comprehension and grounds understanding.

Another powerful clarifying tool is your choice to contrast topics: GLOW v. USED, grounded v. ungrounded, lengthened v. shortened, opened v. entangled and widened v. drawn.

Thank you for your pioneering work. It clearly is a labor of love. And, your expansive heart reaches far beyond your circle of students and clients. The intensity of your desire to help all of us is shown by your leadership and your team’s attention to editing, graphic design, printing and website.

With warm regards,
