Puerto Morelos, Q. Roo, Mexico

"In November/December '05, I had the opportunity to work with Mauro Jaramillo. I had sustained a number of lower back injuries in the previous three years, although I have always had low back problems. I have done a number of sessions with physical therapists and body workers, none of them too helpful. As I participate in a very athletic form of weightlifting that involves lifting maximal weights, the physical therapy and bodywork I'd had felt insufficient and did not address the requirements of my sport. Most made no attempt to understand what I needed to do and how I needed to do it. I was very impressed with Mauro. I found him to be very thoughtful in his approach and very attuned to what I was trying to do. Our work did not ever feel "cookie-cutter", and it also felt very evolving. The thoroughness of Mauro's work was also impressive and I found it to be very beneficial. The quality of Mauro's work, especially with a focus on the individual, is rare in my experience. I feel fortunate to have worked with him."

Our on-site services were received by Mr. Orent and his staff. Some of the comments we heard: "I feel such a difference in just one session." "I never had bodywork like this before!", "Awesome!", and "I don't think I need surgery on my neck after all."

We were very grateful for the opportunity at Hungryman and are looking forward to a return trip.

May, 2006

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to see me on short notice on our recent vacation to Puerto Morelos.

As you will remember, I hurt my back picking up a scuba tank after diving with the Dive Puerto Morelos shop on Tuesday afternoon. Brett and the folks at the dive shop suggested that I contact you. On Wednesday morning, I was not able to stand on my own. I needed my wife's help and the help of a chair to stand and be able to walk at all. I was extremely concerned about how we were going to be able to leave on Saturday for the flight home. Wednesday afternoon, with my wife's insistance, we came to see you. After the hour that we spent together, my back seemed to have little improvement, but then the most amazing thing happened. Thursday morning I woke up with my back feeling great! Oh, I had a small amount of pain, but compared to the day before, it was perfect. I know that I wasn't supposed to overdo it, but it was our vacation, so we spent the entire day exploring Tulum. I figured that would put me back in bed, but it didn't. We were able to completely enjoy the rest of our vacation.

Thank you very much for what you did. I don't pretend to understand how it works, but the results were nothing short of amazing.

Sincerely,

My recent experience with the Wellness of Being program created specifically for my husband and me by Mauro and Ginny Jaramillo was an experience more successful, enjoyable and effective than we could have hoped for. Core to the program was the superb bodywork by Mauro, the best massage therapist either of us have been to in 30 years of massage, which provided long-term change and relief to our muscular and skeletal issues. Combine that with a yoga program, a nutritional regime that included healthy cooking classes and catered dinners by two of the best cooks in the region, and the sun and warmth of a quaint and calm little Mexican village by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean sea… well, you simply have a week of pure bliss. Thank you Ginny for your wisdom and guidance in creating this program for us and an especially heartfelt thank you to Mauro for his gifted hands and kind heart that makes him the extraordinary healer he is.

I rarely use superlatives but the first time that I had a “massage” with Mauro was an exceptional experience. That was many years and many bodywork sessions ago but I still know to anticipate a remarkable session whenever I get the opportunity to once more end up on Mauro’s worktable. As I quickly learned during my very first treatment with him “massage” is truly a misnomer when referring to his work as it is so much more than that.. Working with Mauro is a whole body experience and one in which you participate in both the discovery and resolution of any of your musculoskeletal irregularities that get revealed during a session with him.

I was first introduced to Mauro’s skills in Puerto Morelos, Mexico where my wife has been offering a yoga retreat for the past seven years. There Mauro and Ginny’s Center for Corrective Myotherapy offers some of the best therapeutic body-work ever devised and they make this available to compliment the yoga practice of the participants. I have learned to take advantage of Mauro’s wide range of skills in three different ways. The first is short term where he is so adept at immediately addressing and relieving any issues of discomfort or pain that at my age I invariably experience at some point during a prolonged week or two of challenging yoga. Next is his apparent magic at treating long standing chronic pain and lack of flexibility related to any of my old injuries, postural imbalances, job site ergonomic habits etc. His ability to quickly and accurately assess and relieve the causes of chronic musculoskeletal problems seems remarkable and comes both from his long experience in the field and from the exceptional dedication his has to both his work and to you.

The third component of Mauro’s work with me is the exercise and training regime which he offers which allows me to extend the benefits of his table work into the rest of my daily life. He prescribes custom designed flexibility and strengthening exercises which he first demonstrates and practices with you. This component of his treatment not only extends the healing process he has initiated on his table but has helped me prevent any reversals or further injury.

Mauro is now the most sought after body-worker for the Mexico yoga retreat attendees and his available sessions are pre-booked literally months in advance. I personally schedule sessions with him three days a week for the entire 3 week period that we are there and I now consider the combination of the yoga practice and his body work to be an inseparable package and an integral part of my own personal annual “health care package.” Mauro now offers his services even more internationally and recently I had the opportunity to attend two back-to-back yoga retreats in Europe where Mauro was the in-house body worker for both functions. It was the ultimate of luxuries to get to work with him over such a prolonged period.

Even more wonderful that all of his combined skills and experiences is that Mauro himself is such a lovely man. It is an honor to receive the magic that comes through his hands but also to be in the company of such a true healer.

Thank you Mauro & Ginny.
