What's New!
For Grace (a non-profit that supports women in chronic pain), just shared my healing journey on their site. Here's a link to the story: https://www.forgrace.org/get-involved/share-your-story/mary-ruth-velicki/
The timing is interesting! Just this week, I created 40 short inspirational messages for anyone who is hurting, and I will be sharing them soon. If you'd like to receive them, please join the mailing list.
Hello! My name is Mary Ruth Velicki. For the past 18 years, I have been on an incredible healing journey. It began when I developed debilitating pelvic pain at age forty-five. I was working as a physical therapist and university instructor at the time, and I started writing because I thought my experience as a patient/therapist might help others who were dealing with chronic pain. Over the years, I traveled down many healing roads, unearthed repressed childhood trauma, and became proficient in alternative healing methods as a therapist. As my awareness grew and I experienced the body-mind-spirit connection, the scope of my writing expanded. Eventually, I shared everything I learned in three books: The Healing Series.
​
The holistic processing I describe in my books can be helpful during challenging times in life. For example, it can help support and uplift you when you are working to heal chronic pain or trauma, and when you are fearful, spinning or in a state of transition or conflict.
​
Throughout my life, I've always loved helping others in difficult times and expressing esoteric concepts in clear and practical ways. It brings me great joy to share all I've learned thus far on this life journey with you.​​​
​
Many people start opening/healing in the depths of pain and suffering. That was true for me. I began the process of opening up in the depths of chronic pelvic pain (specifically interstitial cystitis and pelvic floor dysfunction). In my first book, Healing Through Chronic Pain, I share how I discovered the body-mind-spirit connection and used it to restore my health and well-being. If you are currently suffering with physical or emotional pain, the following information is for you.
Moving Through
Chronic Pain
&
Interstitial Cystitis
The Healing Series
These three books describe how to open up your body-mind-spirit. The information is presented in an entertaining, clear, and down-to-earth way. I describe my healing experiences and the experiences of my clients and give you many ways to use these concepts in regular life. ​The books can be read individually or in sequence.
"The Healing Series is a story of how one person, in facilitating her own healing, discovers the future of authentic healing and health care for all of us."
