Elaine Petrone Method Certification

Certification Training Dates: June 22-27th, 2010

I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist, Childbirth Educator, and Wellness Educator who owns my own business.  I accidentally stumbled on your Miracle Ball Method, was intrigued, and brought a kit.  Wow!  Your method has helped to relieve pain and tension in my upper back and shoulders.  It has improved my posture.  Even more importantly, I credit it with helping to relieve very annoying bouts of insomnia!  THANK YOU!   I love the fact that this method is easy and can be used by anyone regardless of physical conditioning.  Plus, it's fun and relaxing.  I've just ordered a couple of your DVDs to learn more.

Warm regards,
Marie Tai

 I recently purchased The Miracle Ball and I just have to tell you how wonderful I think it is.  I'm a nurse currently doing 'fun' things instead of hospital work, but for 9 years I had a desk job that involved lots of computer work, paper work, and chart reviews.  My neck and shoulders would just kill me.  Now I'm currently involved with other jobs and have tried very hard to get healthier.  I currently belong to a health club in town and have been struggling with weights as I would end up with such a stiff and sore neck plus a headache for about 2 days after the exercise.  I would be miserable.  I occasionally get a massage to have the huge knots worked out of my system but can't afford to do that as often as I'd like.  I happened to see The Miracle Ball while I was out the other day and thought, what can it hurt?  I have only had it for about 2 weeks and admit I have been concentrating on the neck, shoulders and some of the hip exercises.  I feel like I have a totally new neck!!  The amount of pain meds I have needed is almost nil.  I usually take something every day.  I told all of my exercise class and some other friends of mine.  Out of that group, I know of 3 people that are using The Miracle Ball now.  They, too, said they have noticed relief from their aches.  Thank you, thank you, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.  This is a life saver for me.  Thanks-- B.H.

The EPM is a revolutionary approach to health and fitness! You will confront ailments that plague you everyday – that are difficult to cure because of daily habits, and stressful lifestyles. The ball is designed to help release muscle tension and to help you rediscover your body’s ability to heal. You will more fully integrate all parts of the body to improve your shape as well as increase the health of the body.

Learn to help people heal! If you have clients who suffer from a wide range of health conditions such as carpal tunnel, TMJ, arthritis, disc problems, sleeplessness, migraines or fatigue, chronic back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint pain or repetitive stress injuries…you will acquire new tools to help them heal. They will be able to continually use your services, uninterrupted by down time resulting from either training or other unrelated injury. When the inevitable sprain, tear, bruise or trauma does take place, you will be a sought-after person to rehabilitate their injury, based on the techniques you will have learned as a certified EPM Instructor.
