Debra's Story
From High School, I went to U of Hartford for a year and half. I got married in 1973, to a nice Jewish DR. from South Africa. Made my parents very happy for ten years. We had two children in NY before we moved to Hollywood, Fl. in 1977, and I gave birth to a native Floridian in 1979. Divorced in '84. Best thing I ever did. I made myself happy.
Went back to college got my BSSW and Masters in Social Work and became a Social Worker for the State of Fl. for ten years. Had an accident on the job and broke my back. Had surgery to repair it and in doing so herniated two discs in my cervical spine and had more surgery to repair the damage. More complications, unable to work.

n do for one's life. So Divorce was good, pain not so much.
More adventures,lot's of rehab to walk again, education in massage therapy and advanced work in Structural Energetic Therapy, two more marriages, three great kids, and their respective spouses, and grandchildren, who bring me great joy when I see them. Moved to Coral Gables, just south west of Miami with third husband. Two long haired cats that I am allergic to, but could not see them as road kill or pound kill.
I am now a very happy person. I love my life and love what I do, and the people I do it with. Lot's of hard work to get to where I am today. Still live with some pain but, Happy!
