I recommend Bonnie Barrow

May 9th, 2010 · No Comments

Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2010 10:00:45 -0400
From: Eileen Gunipero
Subject: Bonnie Barrow

I am a client of Bonnie’s that wholeheartedly agrees with Mr. Sacca’s recommendation.  My only hesitation is a selfish one.  It’s like wanting to be the last person to move into a great neighborhood.  I want to keep her all to myself!

I am recovering from a riding accident that broke my back.  Bonnie addresses not only the aches and pains, but literally explains what soft tissue is being stressed, massages the pain away and often gives me exercises to do to help them heal until I see her again.
