About Us
|
Thank you for visiting Energy Wellness Products. I'm Mara and these products have changed my
life and have given me a quality of life I had not had in 11 years. I now manage the many symptoms associated with
my RSD / CRPS with these amazing products!
The Sun Ancon Chi Machine (Sun Harmony) is a great therapeutic massager that gently oscillates your
body back and forth in a figure 8 movement similar to a goldfish. This movement is what creates the many chi
machine benefits. There are many copy cat machines on the market like the chi exerciser and chi vitalizer yet their
movement and benefits do not compare to our original chi machine. I also find the gentle
warmth from the far infrared therapy provided by the HotHouse to be very good at relaxing me. The Advanced Electro
Reflex Energizer and E-Power Machine offer different forms of electrical stimulation therapy. The electro pads from
the Advanced ERE kind of remind me of a tens unit and the E-Power provides negative ions which have many healthy
benefits.
My passion is to help you improve your life by sharing these products and my
story with you. Having personally used all the products talked about throughout this website,
allows me to share my experience and answer your questions easily. Energy Wellness Products continues to offer
the best available prices and great customer service. We also
send you a free gift with your product purchase because we believe it is important for you to know how your product
works and the benefits it can offer you.
My personal goal is to be your first source for all your wellness and informational
needs. We have helped many people over the past 5 years and I look forward to working with you as you
begin your journey toward wellness. During the past 5 years I have continued my education and am now happy to be
able to assist you as a CNHP (Certified Natural Health Professional). I have also received
certifications in Herbs, Aromatherapy and am a Chronic Pain Specialist.
My Message "Participate"
In January, 1994 my life quickly changed because a pallet fell on my foot and I developed Reflex
Sympathetic Dystrophy also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It took over 6 months to get diagnosed and I
went from a healthy athletic 32 year old to a very thin, frantic, 32 year old walking with a cane and renting wheel
chairs. One day, I changed, I mean I really changed and realized that I was the one responsible for my
health and I was the one who controlled my attitude. I will never forget the day it happened. It was
the day the pain management doctor looked at me and said my chance of ever walking again unassisted or living
without pain was less than 50%. I got upset and looked at him and remember saying to him "You are not God and
You don't know me."
I fully understand why the doctor told me that. He didn't want me to get my hopes up too high and
he was speaking from his experience in dealing with patients who had the same diagnosis as me. In a way I am
grateful he said it. The doctor saying that gave me the determination I needed to make sure that wasn't going to
happen to me. Life is full of choices, that day I clearly made one. I made the choice to
push myself until I was walking without a cane. I also made the choice that if I was going to be in pain for the
rest of my life I certainly wasn't going to do it zoned out on pain pills laying on the couch. I had a long life
left!
I am not saying that my journey was easy, it wasn't. It began with lumbar sacral blocks leading to
a sympathectomy. Physical therapy, chiropractors, massage therapy, forcing myself to exercise, quitting smoking,
limiting my caffeine, eating better, taking supplements, making sure I slept better, and setting different
priorities for myself (I wasn't the same person physically or mentally because of the RSD and the chronic pain and
I couldn't do the same things in a day I used to). It took me five years to walk without a visible limp and eleven
years to find the chi machine, far infrared hothouse dome, and electro reflex energizer which has led me to sharing
my story with you.
To sum my journey up, I developed a strong personal belief that "You are responsible
for your own health". Doctors are individuals who perform a service based on their experiences and
education, just like an accountant or lawyer. They do not have god like powers, they do not control your destiny,
and they do not have the magic pill to fix you. Doctors have options and treatments that can help
you. You must participate in getting yourself well! The doctors can't do it by themselves. The
therapists, the herbalist, the naturopath, all can not do it by themselves either. You MUST PARTICIPATE.
You have to go to these individuals, you have to listen to what they say, and you have to do the activities they
recommend - YOU MUST PARTICIPATE!
My friend Connie said to me one day and I will never forget it - "Every day when you get up, you
have to choose to be enthusiastic". Each of us controls what we eat, what we think, how we feel. If you receive
only one message from me, please participate. "Life is interactive - "Participate in your own health,
in your relationships, in your community, and participate from your heart"!
