We all face challenges, but...
What if the challenge renders you completely paralyzed from the neck down at 47 years old?
Where Science Meets Spirit is an extraordinary memoir of unconventional approaches to life and paralysis. It explores scientific truths about resilience, energy, and embodiment and knowledge about our collective power from the limitless Life-force Energy we are all made from.
Written as a memoir in a style that offers both colourful lived experience and reflective insights and teachings, Where Science Meets Spirit weaves the reader through a labyrinth of woe, fascinating revelations, groundbreaking science, poignant trials, ancient wisdom, personal triumphs, and spiritual truths.
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Trauma
Mary-Jo’s memoir follows the fascinating, unfolding journey of this engaging woman as she defies the odds, baffling adversity while she uncovers and discovers more than you could have imagined.
It’s an often unbelievable story of resilience, courage, and hard-won insight that reveals for us ancient wisdom and quantum truth of healing — and what we don’t use in an advanced medical system — and that keeps Mary-Jo Fetterly continually beating all the odds.
Available now at Amazon, Kindle, Apple Books, Friesen and major book sellers.
