“On December 12, 1919, a memorial service was held to honor the school’s
founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, who had passed away on December 12, 1917. The presidents of all the classes met with Dr. George Still to plan the event, a brief ceremony in the assembly hall and a oral wreath placed on the statue of A. T. Still. It was decided then that a similar ceremony would be held each year to honor the founder of the school, and that was the beginning of Founder’s Day.”

French osteopathy in San Francisco

Maria Coffman, D.O., and Maurice Bensoussan, D.O., M.D.

From April 9th-14th, Maria Coffman, D.O. traveled to San Francisco to participate in a course with French osteopath, Maurice Bensousan, D.O., M.D., at the Osteopathic Cranial Academy.

Aligned and Empowered

When I came to see Dr. Coffman, I was suffering from tinnitus, TMJ Dysfunction, anxiety, and a very stiff neck.  I had been to see several specialists in these areas who concluded that nothing could be done aside from taking medication.  Although specialists certainly have their place, their focus can sometimes be too narrow.  Dr. Coffman’s approach, on the other hand, took my whole body into account, and she discerned that I was out of alignment (a result of having severe scoliosis including spine surgery as a teenager).

From the very first adjustment I began to notice a marked improvement in my condition, and following this subsequent treatments, I’ve experienced a “chain reaction” of positive changes throughout my body-my right hip is sinking down to its correct position, my left shoulder is doing the same, my head and neck are steadily coming back to center, and my ailments are diminishing.

As if this wasn’t remarkable enough, Dr. Coffman, through her treatments and advice, has awakened me to the possibilities of energy medicine.  Not only do I feel my energies humming through my body for the first time, I have also become aware of my innate ability to heal.  I now feel empowered to take control of my own well-being through techniques she has shown me, techniques that are very effective and completely free.

Dr. Coffman is different from other doctors because she listens, has a healing touch, and empowers you to help yourself.    ~ T.C.
