Endorsements & Testimonials

Joey Pontarelli, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host

I've worked with numerous therapists. Margaret is the best. By far. Her knowledge of trauma and brain science are impressive. Her ability to relate with almost anyone is so rare. Her results speak for themselves, including people overcoming suicidal tendencies, cutting, and more. I recommend Margaret, her content, talks, books, but most importantly, her healing program and trauma therapy. 

Carol Morel, Director of Formation

for Ministry in Spiritual Direction

As a spiritual director, a supervisor of spiritual directors, and the director of the Diocese of Harrisburg's formation for ministry in spiritual direction, I highly recommend Margaret Vasquez's unique approach to trauma-informed care.  The many individuals I have referred to her for the week-long intensives, parish healing missions, retreats, and workshops testify to the ongoing impact in their lives and ministry -- in sum, reporting a deeper interior freedom and a greater capacity for connection with God, self, and others.  She embodies what she teaches, and enables us to do the same.  Thanks be to God!

You Saved My Life

The results of my intensive therapy session with you have been truly amazing. Had I not experienced these results myself I would not have believed they were possible. Sadly, my friends keep asking me “How are you doing?” as if I was still carrying the same burdens that were definitively released in therapy. Some just don’t believe such healing is possible.

Results of Therapy:

1. Overall decreased anxiety

2. Overall decreased muscle tension

3. Very mentally alert upon waking in the morning. I no longer require 15 minutes to attain mental alertness

4. Sleeping deeper and sleeping less

5. Increased physical and mental stamina

6. On February 17th I had an extremely good day. Nothing out of the ordinary happened but my psychological experience throughout the entire day was a major shifting of affect……no negative thought or reflections, happiness, very strong positive attitude

7. The heart arrythmia I had been suffering from for a few years has not returned since therapy

8. The pain and numbness in my right hand from a dog bite has ceased.

9. Increase in appropriate boundary setting with others.

10. Marked increase in effectiveness in engaging other hostile men. Firmly standing my ground but keeping my cool.

11. So many of the positive benefits of therapy are difficult to express. When a memory becomes “refiled or deleted” and its toxic effect is removed, I no longer reflect on it or remember it but the beneficial effects of having that memory processed and refiled are very great.

12. I know I keep harping on this but a very major effect of therapy relates to what I have experienced in my 3D visual perception. I must have had a traumatic experience in my brain that interfered with my ability to process 3D visual perception. There is a very serious and marked change in the way my eyes see things in 3D now. It is exactly like seeing the world in fresco style 2D and then suddenly seeing in 3D permanently. Driving past a row of trees in the car is fascinating and beautiful to me. So are panoramic views or looking at landscapes. For the first two weeks after therapy I found myself looking and staring at collections of three dimensional objects for hours.

Thank you so deeply from the bottom of my heart.

You saved my life.

Night and Day Difference

The difference between before and after treatment is like that of night and day. I have a joy and freedom that I didn’t even think was possible. Thank you so much!
