Reviews

After an uphill mountain bike in Queenstown and a 10-hour car ride, my right leg was in quite a bit of pain. I didn't know what was wrong, just that my body was not happy. I went to the Golden Bay Health Centre and was happy to learn that Marie-Laure was available. She was kind, gentle and I wasn't used to her technique. Be that as it may, I felt immediately better after one visit and the pain was gone within a day. I asked afterwards what "magic" had been performed on my body and was told it was "a blend of SCENAR therapy, reflexology, craniosacral therapy, and working with Qi energy to support the body’s healing process." Worked better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend!

Vincent is a magician. I had pain in my knee and wasn't sure if I could ever run again. He fixed it in one session. I was rather sceptical before the appointment but not anymore. Highly recommended.

I have already experienced impressive improvement from the sessions with Marie-Laure. The treatment is proving to be effective. Marie-Laure is very knowledgeable, professional and caring. I whole heartedly recommended working with her for a positive outcome.

It's been with the upmost graciousness an gratitude, that I've been blessed, to work over these last 6 odd months with two incredibly selfless practitioners. They have been scaffolding me to release acute barriers of both extreme physical, emotional an spiritual pain, an hence with to intergrate into myself, gently an with a strong foundation of knowledge an of self. I'd previously been diagnosed, before engaging with 'res-source' with C.P.T.S.D an neurodiversity. In this encounter with Vincent an Marie-Laure, I have not been a 'number' nor have I been a 'box to tick' an have been learning to breathe again an that is a beautiful gift - an I mean that literally an in ALL senses of the word. I sincerely highly recommend them an have recommended to friends, that have also been graciously gratified that I did. One of the biggest gifts I've allowed myself to accept to date. 🙏 Donna Carmini

I went in to see Marie-Laure at Res-source in Takaka to see if there could be anything done for my left tennis/golf elbow. I had been in pain for over 4 months, and nothing was helping. By the time I went to Res-source, I was nearly crying every day. I was trying not to use my left arm at all, the pain was excruciating, but even if I was driving and resting my left arm on the centre console, I would still get spasms of sharp pain. I couldn't lift a cup to my mouth with my left arm. Marie-Laure explained to me what Scenar Therapy was; a bio-energy medicine technique that uses a device to communicate with the nervous system and stimulate the body's healing process. After my first visit, I had well over 50% more movement with my arm and the pain went from sharp to dull. I went again a week after, and again, I had more movement albeit I still had some dull pain. I went 3 days after for my third visit. Marie-Laure asked me how bad the pain was under my elbow (golfers elbow) and I didn't even realise, there was no pain, hadn't been since my second visit. It is now the day after my third visit. I have had almost zero pain today on the outside of my elbow (tennis elbow). I just cannot believe how well this treatment has worked. Marie-Laure asks the right questions, searches for other areas that could be affecting the area in pain, and was absolutely thorough. You just wouldn't go to a general practitioner for pain management, not when their answer is to get a cortisone injection. I have also had 'monkeys' on my left back for years, tight masses of tissue that no-one has been able to help me with.... they are now gone too. I can't thank you enough Marie-Laure. Thank you for listening, thank you for helping me, and I thank you for being pain free.
