When I came to FLO Living in late 2005 struggling withPCOS, I hadn’t had a full period in at least 6 months, I was miserably working 12 hours a day as an attorney, and I had been unintentionally celibatefor the better part of a year. Late one evening, still at the office, I spoke to Alisa Vitti about my situation. I was highly resistant to working with her, but she suggested that I used a technique that I still use today. She asked me to pretend that I had made the decision not to have sessions, and see how that felt in my body. I checked in with myself and my body felt tight and shut down, in other words, “normal”. Then I pretended that I had signed up for sessions. At that moment, my body felt shaky, but alive. I started to cry, which is something I hadn’t done for months. I signed up for a 6 month program that night. I can attest to tangible results. In working with Alisa, my cycle normalized to a great extent and I began getting full periods more often. I spent less time at the office and more time having fun, including dating. I also learned how to better feed my body and feel good in my body. But working with LSW meant more to me than just tangible results. The women at LSW brought me to my own internal labyrinth. At FLO Living, I began the journey toward healing my relationship with my femininity and my feminine energy. I started to incorporate and appreciate those parts of me that I had denigrated in the past. And LSW gave me a community of women who supported me in my healing journey. Now I work only part time as an attorney and I’m spending the rest of my time doing things that I really love, like working with plus-sized women who want to feel great without dieting (Body Love Wellness), writing, performing improv, and spending time with my boyfriend and friends. I can’t imagine this journey without the support of FLO Living.

I originally came to Alisa for the specific purpose of doing something to restore my libido, which had “gone missing” with the onset of menopause. I had no idea that it would turn out to be such a life-changing experience. Throughout the 3 months I’ve worked with Alisa, I’ve redefined my concept of sexuality, and I’ve fallen in love with a new way of being that has allowed me to live and love more fully every day. I’ve refocused my personal goals and redefined for myself what “life success” really means to me. Alisa is an amazingly wise, caring, insightful, and intuitive woman. Her ability to “get me” really made a huge difference in my ability to change. The program more than exceeded my expectations…it made me a new woman!
