When I was a white collar worker who have accumulated 10 years of work stress in her stomach and back muscles, I have met Sinan. At that time I was trying to get used to living with severe pains in the abdominal region which had been going on for 2 years and could not be diagnosed despite all the metabolic scans. At any time of the day, irrespective of my mood, a spear stuck from my stomach into my kidneys, leaving me immobilized with twists. 

I tried to find a cure for various treatments, but I could not reach a permanent cure. Until Sinan convinced me to 

 try reflexology... The reflexology sessions I started with his insistence at first, 

began to unite with my mind and soul over time. Since I have a mind focused on getting instant results, 

 it was very difficult for me to be patient with the sessions that lasted about 4 months 

but it was also instructive. I've had major recovery crises. My stomach had accumulated 

what I couldn't express, accept, and now was trying to throw it out in every way. 

But these crises were different from my previous pain attacks because over time, after each crisis, 

I began to realize that the overall pain was decreasing. I insistingly continued the sessions. Then, after a tremendously stressful 

meeting, I realized with amazement that the pain I was waiting for was not coming. Later in the day 

my anxious wait came to a happy end; the pain had never come during the day! And it has never come again… 

I am still grateful every day to my dear husband who helped me to save myself from this malady 

by using only my own body and consciousness.

In 2018, I delivered my baby by emergency epidural cesarean section. Because of my metabolism, which is already prone to gas, 

 I was more afraid of surgery than the gas pains I would experience. When I was taken to the room, 

 I asked Sinan to help me with reflexology. Take care of our baby 

As soon as we took care of our baby and handed it over to the nurses, we started working. My faith was of course complete, I knew that my body 

will cooperate with me. After a while, a nurse came into the room and said, 

she was going to make sure my intestines were working, so she wouldn't leave until I fart, and 

sent me to the bathroom to try to do it. I've never been so ashamed in my life, 

but I didn't have to make her wait, my intestines reacted almost at that moment! We still remember the nurse, being stumped, 

and saying that "This is a record, I have never seen someone returning to normal so fast in my life!" as the whole family. :) We told her how reflexology helped my body return to normal balance, and my “gas story" ended so happily.
