Make Room For Magic Maddie
If you know me, you know my wife Maddie is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never get tired of telling people our love story. At parties, I pray someone asks, "So, how'd you two meet?"
But the joy Maddie brings to this world is so much bigger than the smile I have on my face. Maddie is a true force of nature and is known to so many people as Magic Maddie as she has unlocked their body's natural wisdom and guided their healing process - a methodology she has spent a decade creating called Manual Movement Therapy.
As someone living with several autoimmune diseases Maddie has been on a quest for knowledge. She's learned to integrate her experiences as a professional dancer and certified physical trainer along side what she learned at the Pacific College of Health and Science, the leading eastern medicine school in NYC.
It is because of her choice to see her pain as her teacher that she was able to learn the secrets that she has leveraged to become, according to New York Magazine, the Best of New York.
It is by owning her pain story that she is helping countless others write theirs.
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
This is one of my favorite things that I hear her tell clients across the spectrum of her work. From women in both prenatal and postnatal treatments to former athletes experiencing their bodies in new ways to celebrities that look to Maddie to keep their bodies aligned while performing eight Broadway shows a week - the way she interprets what their bodies are saying is truly incredible to experience.
For the past three years, people have fought to get on her schedule, even some people have flown into NYC once a month to have Maddie work with them. The only challenge her business had was the number of hours in a day.
Last week, Maddie launched her new platform to bring access to her programming to the world and empower a global audience with the wisdom she's spent over a decade uncovering and distilling.
I hope you will check it out and join me in congratulating Magic Maddie!

Sleep Guide We All Need
I am the very lucky lab rat that helped test out some of these techniques, but also learned so much about WHY we were testing them out once I read the final product! Get the Sleep Posture Series guide here!
Instagram Account That's Helped Me
Maddie shared @ChronicLoveClub with me a while back and it has helped me understand the scope of the challenges of living with an autoimmune disease. It has also been the source of inspiration recently for some of the Roomies here at Make Room who are working on a community for parents of neurodivergent children and showing what can happen when people join together to share resources and stories.
Engagement Story, Pics, and Video
Two years ago this week, Maddie made me the luckiest man on earth and said yes to a very important question.
I shared how I pulled it off on Instagram
Well get back to our regularly scheduled programming next week, but I hope you'll take Maddie up on her offer to help you sleep better and unlock your body's natural intelligence.
For me, my body has existed for most of my life as a way of moving my head from one place to the next. But when I had two herniated disks in my back over the holidays this past year, I was painfully awakened to how intertwined our bodies and our minds our. The truth that Maddie has been sharing with me for 5 years but didn't fully sink in until the suffering of not listening had first.
Listen to her and avoid unnecessary suffering!
Happy Tuesday,
Andy
