Florida - client
I was diagnosed with ALS on January 20, 2016. ALS is a terminal illness that takes away your ability to walk, talk, and eventually breathe. Losing my ability to speak has been the hardest battle. I had become very depressed and closed off to family and friends until I started working with Carrie. I had become embarrassed to speak at all, but Carrie turned that around for me. She taught me to speak and communicate more effectively. Working with Carrie has changed my life.
