“I feel like I'm myself – my true, deep self … finally.”

Emma spent much of her life in a constant state of survival. Growing up without a sense of worthiness, she worked hard to prove herself, pushing through stress, pain, and pressure until her body could no longer keep up. By her mid-20s, Emma had been diagnosed with a variety of physical conditions, including endometriosis, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, and myasthenia gravis – a rare neurological condition. At one point, she took more than 50 pills just to get through each day.

At her lowest, Emma discovered Dr Joe’s work and immersed herself in the Progressive Online Course. She began meditating morning, noon, and night – and gradually, her symptoms began to ease. As her physical pain subsided, her belief deepened. She persevered through a series of traumatic life events, recommitting herself to the work and incorporating Dr Joe’s breath technique. 

Over time, her emotional wounds transformed, and her mental and physical suffering dissolved. Today, Emma says she’s fully healed. She feels at home in a new body, a new mind, and a whole new life.
