A note on these

Results on this page are individual and not a promise. Age, starting point, sleep, stress, medication and how many sessions you actually attend all change the outcome. Nobody here has been paid for their photographs or their words, and every image is published with written consent that can be withdrawn at any time.

If you want to see the entries where progress stalled, ask at the consultation. We keep those too.
