Uncoiling: A Memoir of Anxiety, Aneurysm and Renewal
This is one of those rare memoirs in which the author not only succeeds in resolving a life-threatening health crisis, but brings to that resolution a lifetime of expertise in understanding the human body and working as a therapist.  That combination of sophisticated knowledge about the body combined with an extreme challenge to her own body leave us with special wisdom about how to negotiate our own life challenges.  Her open heart and vast spirit are invaluable guides. --Don Hanlon Johnson, PhD, California Institute of Integral StudiesA delightful, informative and moving account of a journey to understand and experience health and healing. Judith's account is evocative, personal and thoughtful as she draws the reader along in her discoveries of innovative therapies and later in her own desperate need for conventional and non-conventional treatments. This memoir offers inspiration and encouragement to keep listening to the body and searching for therapies that can hear its message. --Judith Bradley, RPT, former Upledger Institute InstructorA compelling book to read. In a manner similar to Jill Bolte Taylor, noted brain researcher, who studied her own stroke as it was happening, Judith Marcus, a deeply trained somatic practitioner, tells her remarkable story of her own brain injury brought on by an aneurysm. Her special background and training provides her the ability to give us an inner view of her experience, leading us through her healing journey, to appreciate the incredible capacity we have as humans for healing, learning, and being in life. --Jeff Haller, PhD, Feldenkrais Trainer
