Carolyn Dornbush has been a client at Active One for almost 10 years. Despite her approach as the care-free, socialite and "class clown", her story is actually quite inspirational. Carolyn was referred to Active One Health Professional Group originally with risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. However, since joining us, she has made significant lifestyle changes and up to now, has avoided diabetes and the medications that were suggested she would need.
Carolyn has also had total hip replacement surgery 4 years ago and in October last year had both her knees replaced. Leading up to (and following) surgery she was very committed to her exercises, building strength and mobility around her hips and knees as much as tolerable. Carolyn returned to Active One very soon after surgery and was exercising under our supervision in 1:1 sessions, before quickly returning to our group exercise classes with her many friends.
Her speedy recovery from these operations has been amazing to see. Her range of motion is great, she has minimal pain, and is continuing to work on her strength and balance, both of which have improved significantly. Carolyn reports if she "hadn't been here, there would be no way I could have recovered as quickly from either surgery." In addition, Carolyn has lost around 8kg and attributes her improved quality of life to her regular exercise classes at Active One. Carolyn also particularly enjoys the social aspects of our group classes, encouraging many of her friends to come, she reports they "all love it and benefit also".
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve…
Carolyn Dornbush's experience brilliantly demonstrates how hard work and competent support may lead to a higher quality of life. My love is historical nonfiction writing, but the daunting technical process of perfecting the requisite Chicago style thesis formatting is taking up my time. I realized that seeking expert assistance was the only way to quickly overcome this scholastic challenge and refocus my attention on my creative work.
I really enjoyed reading the “Client of the Month” feature you captured Carolyn Dornbush’s journey in such a genuine way. Interestingly, I recently had to take an exam about career development and realized I could’ve used a college application essay editing service to tighten up my arguments. That led me to explore online exam helpers. Your post resonated. Good stories and solid tools make all the difference.
