Personal Reflections

How I first came into Three In One

Seventeen years ago after a horrendous 23 hour labour and painful birth my wonderful daughter Michelle came into this world.
Then I went through 16 months of hell as she constantly screamed and slept very little. After visiting 11 different doctors only to be told I was a neurotic first mum I eventually went to a Naturopath. Val said that she was lactose intolerant and sugar made her hyperactive. The sugar part I knew but at long last someone believed me about something being wrong. Within two days Michelle was like a different child. We fixed that problem. My first introduction to alternative medicine was a success.

Then I had my second daughter and the labour was only 5 hours but when things started to get painful I went straight into back brain reliving stress that I went through trying to give birth to Michelle. I yelled "give me an epidural" even though I really wanted to do this drug free again. After 6 months of not getting any sleep and a 2 year old to look after I knew I had to do something. Dot Mills was a friend of my mum's and we got talking and she advised me that I needed some stress release. I responded with "Oh it's not me! If the baby slept everything would be just fine!" (famous last words).

Dot had just completed a few of the basic classes. I saw her that afternoon. She spent 15 minutes with Sarah and then an hour of using Three In One stress release techniques from Tools of The Trade with me. That night Sarah slept for 12 hours and I slept for 10. I woke up in the morning and thought to myself I need to find out more about this. From there my life has changed entirely.

I wanted to find out more so I enrolled for the classes. With the first class deep down inside I had this feeling that I knew this from a long time ago. It all felt familiar and comfortable - like coming home. It took me quite a few years just to get through the basic classes with two young children and no income of my own. At that time all I wanted to do was to help my girls and my husband at the time. I didn't even think that I needed this work or that it could help me in anyway! Then I started practicing on other members of my family and friends. By the time the girls were in kindy I was booking paying clients in. Every cent I earned I put aside for more classes.

In 1991 I became a facilitator and taught my first class. It was fantastic I cannot express the joy and rewards of sharing this work with others and seeing how they grew and changed with these tools. That was it for me I knew that this was what I was supposed to be doing. Here it is now 13 years from my first class and now I am International Faculty. One of eleven people throughout this world who can facilitate all of the programs, training others to be consultants and instructor facilitators helping others.

What a difference Three In One has made in my life.

Ten years after going through my first birth along came Sheri my third daughter. This was the first child I was honoured to conceive and give birth to knowing all about this work. What a difference! I had sessions clearing the stress of the last two births, taking the stress off my body being pregnant, reducing the baby's stress as she was growing in the womb world. Even muscle testing what was the best and highest name for the baby if it was a boy or a girl. We did some work around releasing the stress in specific pelvic muscles so that I could give birth easily. Thank God we did as I know that if we hadn't done that, I would never have been able to give birth naturally with her. She weighted in at 9lb 14oz. With my frame even the doctor and nurses were astounded at her weight and size; I should have had a caesarean. The labour was 5 hours and so different from the others. I was in tune with my body and what I needed every step of the way. Even though it was painful (don't believe anyone who tells you it isn't!) I handled it drug free and stress free using the Three In One techniques.

If you knew me back 13 years ago you would not know that I'm the same person now. Even my facial structures have changed. I am not so controlling or worrying as I use to be. I am more relaxed and tend to handle things as they come up now. I am much more honest with others and myself and speak up instead of keeping everything inside. I am much more accepting of others and myself and for me that is a big thing. All my relationships have changed from partners, daughters, mum & dad, family and friends but most importantly the relationship that I have with myself. I can't even begin to tell you how great I feel about myself and what I do. With my knowledge and skills I could never go back, or want to go back to where I was before. There will probably always be challenges in my life, the wonderful thing is I now have amazingly simple skills to help me through this journey we call life. Life is grand!
