Client Stories & Transformations

“You don’t have to live this way;  we will figure this out…”

“It is no exaggeration to say that Maria Furlano saved my life.  After many months of mysterious and horrendous symptoms, multiple visits to doctors of various specialties, stacks of medical tests and biopsies that revealed nothing, and worsening to the point of being unable to work (or sometimes leave the house), I found Maria.  

She told me, “You don’t have to live this way; we will figure this out.”  It was the first time I’d felt hopeful in a very long time.

For some months, she worked with me with acupuncture and medical Qi Gong; referred me to others for herbs and additional treatments; monitored my nutrition; helped me process big emotions; and guided the process with unfailing warmth.  

My symptoms slowly lessened and then left.  Practicing her Qi Gong prescriptions restored my energy.  I well remember the first time I was able to play tennis again, how joyful that was.  

Today, I am healthy again and have a beautiful, healthy son.  I still turn to Maria for Qi Gong and other support and guidance, be it emotional or physical, and consider myself SO very lucky to have found her.”

"Wheezing subsided..."

“Maria after our Medical Qigong Therapy session last week, my wheezing immediately subsided. I’m practicing the medical Qigong and breathing techniques you have prescribed, and feeling stronger everyday. Thank you!”

“She’s able to see what’s going on…”

“Maria was a GREAT Qigong expert and acupuncturist.  She took me, an absolute mess and was able to start me on my way to a healthy life. I highly recommend her to anyone.  

She was able to see what was going on with me even when several western MD’s could not figure it out.”.

“Whiplash injury”

“I have seen Maria for a variety of ailments and pain during the past two years…  Recently I had a minor whiplash injury with neck and shoulder pain, and after one treatment my pain was 95% better, and has remained that way all week! Thank you Maria for who you are and what you do. You are truly a healer.”

“Depression and anxiety..."  

“I was referred to Maria as a last resort after trying traditional Western medicine, therapy, medications, and other resources used to address almost 22 years of severe, debilitating and immobilizing depression.  I self-medicated with alcohol for many years, created a very unhealthy work-life balance due to a stressful and demanding job.

What had the greatest impact, were the customized prescriptions she gave me to supplement the sessions.  Currently, my depression is completely managed, as well as the downstream impacts.  

I have experienced a significant increase in my energy levels, mental clarity, attitude, and physical endurance.”

"In person and at a distance..."

“My experience with Maria has been exceptional and my health has improved dramatically. I have had treatments in person and at a distance.

What surprised me was that, although each treatment is different, the results were equally as significant whether I was in her office or lying peacefully at home in Canada.”

"Now more accepting of my sensitivity..."

The 6-month Immersion with Dr. Maria has given me crucial tools I need for my own healing and spiritual development that I haven’t received through anyone else.

Dr. Maria imparts her Qi Gong expertise through specific and powerful guided exercises that I can now do on my own. She connects this age-old wisdom with current understandings of energy, vibration, and intuition, through which I connect my own personal experiences.

Her emphasis and practices on clearing energy was a missing piece I needed to heal and grow. The live group involvement helped me gently get out of my shell and into positive interaction and connection.

I am now more accepting of my own energetic sensitivity and intuitive gifts, and able to use and implement these in my life.

“Fibromyalgia…”

“When I started seeing Maria a year ago, I was in quite a lot of pain and feeling very run down due to my Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  

Her treatments have reduced my pain so much that I am no longer on pain medication and have much more energy.

 This work has truly changed my life.”
