I had battled with a severe and obscure illness for three years, during which time I had major problems with my thyroid, adrenals, immune system, celiac disease, edema, and gastric paresis (just to name a few). Getting out of bed was difficult, I was holding six extra liters of water in my tissues, and had never felt farther from myself. My light was dim. I sought out Simone after I heard that BBS used rebounders, which I had been told would be beneficial for my lymph system. Not only was it good for my lymph system, it was great for my mind, body, and spirit! Let me be clear: it was by far the hardest workout I have ever done, but it was also incredibly fun. It took me out of myself and allowed me to let loose and feel free in a body that had made me feel caged and broken for so long. Simone was very patient with me, helping me slowly regain my stamina. In the ten months I have been doing BBS, I have shed the water weight, toned up my body, and built my stamina so much so that when I look back at myself before BBS, I don’t  recognize the person I was.

I still have a long road to recovery, but BBS has certainly only made the journey better and will continue to help me get where I need to be.
