Welcome!
Hello! My name is Mary Ruth Velicki.
All my content (on this site, in my books, and on social media) describes how to open up to experience yourself and your life in more expanding and uplifting ways.
I have created this content by combining decades of personal healing experience with the knowledge and skills I developed as an integrative physical therapist and university instructor. These tools helped me move through debilitating pelvic pain and repressed childhood sexual abuse and they continue to enhance my life.
The holistic processing I describe can help you at many different times in your life. For example:
-
If you are hurting physically or emotionally, opening can help you move out of suffering.
-
If you are in a state of unease or conflict, opening can help restore your sense of well-being and enhance your relationships.
-
If you are fearful and spinning, opening can help you become more peaceful and grounded.
-
If you simply want to experience more joy or create and connect in more fulfilling ways, opening can help you embrace that possibility.
I have shared these insights with many others as an author, speaker, and therapist, and I hope this information is also useful for you.
Many people start opening/healing in the depths of pain and suffering. That was true for me. I began the process of opening up in the depths of chronic pelvic pain (specifically interstitial cystitis and pelvic floor dysfunction). In my first book, Healing Through Chronic Pain, I share how I discovered the body-mind-spirit connection and used it to restore my health and well-being. If you are currently suffering with physical or emotional pain, the following information is for you.
Moving Through
Chronic Pain
&
Interstitial Cystitis
The Healing Series
These three books describe how to open up your body-mind-spirit. The information is presented in an entertaining, clear, and down-to-earth way. I describe my healing experiences and the experiences of my clients and give you many ways to use these concepts in regular life. The books can be read individually or in sequence.
"The Healing Series is a story of how one person, in facilitating her own healing, discovers the future of authentic healing and health care for all of us."
