I worked with Char Terrana for several years. Her grasp of the Wallace method is phenomenal. I was in so much pain I could not sleep, and it affected everything in my life. I could not sleep, suffered from anxiety attacks, and always felt swollen and achey. Char began “untwisting” my muscles, a concept that, once she explained it to me, made perfect sense. Although I practiced yoga, all my movements were either strength training or long stretches. The Wallace method literally unwinds the kinks muscles develop over your lifetime, and restore posture, spinal health, and joint relief. If I had a million dollars, I would hire Char to work on me and my family for the rest of our lives. If you have not yet tried this method, give yourself a gift and have a session with Char. She can straighten your back, help your depression, and leave you feeling marvelous. Plus she’s beautiful and compassionate, extra bonuses!!
I have worked with Char Terrana and her use of the Wallace Method several times over several years. In working with upper body, I cannot say enough about the healing!! The Wallace method is one of the most painfree and gentle methods of straightening posture I have ever seen. I have experienced massages designed to loosen the body, but brought a new level of pain and increased soreness afterward. Wallace and Char leave you refreshed and feeling like a new hundred dollar bill! Char is a true healer which you cannot teach, and coupled with the Wallace Method, she can unlock years of bad behavior with such a relaxing methodology. I recommend this method and Char to anyone from retired accountants to professional surfers.
For several years I suffered from pain from Fibromyalgia. When I first met with Char she indicated that all of my muscles were contracted, so no wonder I had a lot of pain. She worked with me and over a period of time I began to feel more freedom in my joints and began to be pain free. This became part of my program for Fibromyalgia management. The method is so relaxing and gentle, I think anyone would benefit. In addition, Char is a gentle and confident healer. I always have come away from treatments feeling better in every way. While this does not seem to be a widely known protocol, I believe it should be used in many healing modes.
I was first introduced to the Wallace Method in the early 1990s while residing in Minneapolis. I had a knee issue that persisted. I sought the assistance of doctors, physical therapists, chiropractic and acupuncture modalities. The best I received from any of these therapies was temporary (very Buddhist). I was considering surgery which was not a guarantee. I was directed to Heather Wallace from Catherine Cleary. I felt I had nothing to lose. Heather told me that the problem was not my knee, it was only a symptom. Hence the temporary nature of my recovery where the symptom was treated, not the source of the problem. We did several one on one sessions and I participated in Heather’s classes. Within a few months I was able to use my knee as if no problem existed. To this day I have a full range of motion in my knee and every other part of my body. Several years ago I studied with Catherine Cleary and Char Terrana to become a certified Wallace Method facilitator. I am grateful to Heather, Catherine and Char for their assistance in giving me back the mobility every human should experience.
I would add to the above replies about Char’s extraordinary treatment – the gradual unwinding of a lifetime’s worth of bad habits – that Char teaches you to understand your body and it’s intricate structure. With this knowledge you are able (and strongly encouraged) to take part in your own healing, and your own future lifetime of health. Without this knowledge, you are simply engaging in a quick fix, which is the antithesis of the Wallace Method.
Impatient to get back on my hockey skates, I was looking for a quick fix for an injury to my neck. Instead, like a kung-fu master, Char lets one discover that the healing process unfolds over time. Through her dedication and hands-on therapy, she heals both body and mind.
Char guides through specific movements to unwind contracted muscles, a process that begins to open space in connective tissue. I remember when I felt the first shift in structural elements — it seemed miraculous — bringing greater range of motion and removing pressure on nerves, blood supply, and soft tissue around my neck.
Most importantly, in contrast to quick adjustment therapies, the Wallace Method builds “muscle memory” over time, in order to retain new structural realignments. Char also transfers capability, teaching organic stretching techniques that I practice on my own in order to maintain improvements.
I’m back on the ice, and will always consider Char one of my teammates.
In the mid 1990s, I was about to launch on my career as a computer programmer. Suddenly I discovered I was getting Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. I was filled with fear. How was I going to have a career in programming if I couldn’t type? A friend of mine suggested that I try the Wallace Method. I attended classes at Heather Wallace’s house. I had one-on-one sessions with various practitioners. And low and behold, the so-called unsolvable Carpel Tunnel disappeared and has remained gone for more than 15 years. One of the great things about the Wallace Method is that you can practice it on your own. Until I had kids, I did that almost daily and it kept my body out of trouble.
After a five-year break, I have come back to the Wallace Method and am reminded of how powerful it is as a healing tool. I have started working with Char Terrana. I remember her from the old days as being one of the best and most committed practitioners. Over the years, she has worked with and helped a vast number of people. One of the things I like about Char is how she includes elements of other healing modalities in her work. I find her to be powerful healer with a gentle touch.
My introduction to the Wallace Method was some 14 years ago. I had a sore tooth and my friend suggested I visit Heather Wallace. It seemed like an odd solution, but as it turned out the misalignment of my jaw was the underlying problem. Since then I cannot count the number of classes, workshops and sessions I have had, and I have found a new relationship to my body, a confidence to find a healing path that is uniquely my own. Through The Wallace Method I can explore and enjoy following my body’s path to increased flexibility and range that is so rewarding. This method fully supports my desire to dance for all my life, and to feel and express my passion for movement.
I think the other reviews state the benefits of the Wallace method perfectly. I started with Char after years of going to various physical therapists – each was helpful in her/his own way but the underlying systemic issues remained. The Wallace Methods unwinds your muscle problems and restores them to natural healthy patterns. So it is a long term solution that can get your body aligned,and and then keep the muscles and connective tissues healthy and strong. It is in short a miracle – the medical sytem had given up on me and counseled that I should accept my growing disability. I kow work out, walk 3 miles every day, ski, bike and play golf – need I say more!

I want to say Bravo to all the comments left before mine.. I had a wonderful experience with the Wallace method and more-over with Char. She fixed my nasty shoulder pain. I am 65 years old and thought I wouldn’t use my injured shoulder again. But it’s well! (rotator cuff injury..not tear but grim pull…which effected back and shoulder and pec muscles) thanks Char!
There is one other person right now in the Boulder, CO area. There is another person in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico who only works with the group exercises. I am ready to teach practitioners in any city! Where are you writing from? Char
I live in Watertown, Wisconsin, between Madison and Milwaukee. I have been a practicing massage therapist since 2000. My current passion is myofascial release. It sounds to me like the Wallace method would be compatible.
Jude, yes, the Wallace Method is quite compatible with MFR! As a matter of fact, Heather Wallace studied MFR and it has very much informed her work. I also use it when called for. If you and others would like to learn more about the Wallace Method or have a workshop, please call!
I was unable to maintain a pregnancy and feared I’d never have another child. Dr. Hannah helped me prepare my body so I was finally able to have a healthy baby. She has helped resolve my chronic bladder infections, my oldest daughter’s nightmares and sleepwalking, and our three year old’s ear infections. She continues to be our favorite family doctor.

Dr. Hannah’s biggest strengths are her ability to listen and her expertise with homeopathic remedies. After years of poor sleep and low energy, I saw Dr. Hannah for a remedy that I took just one time. I was able to sleep on my back and breathe clearly for the first time in years; then my sleep and energy both improved. — Kelly Hobkirk
I came to see Dr. Hannah in acute pain, depressed, scared, and crying, with a history of ovarian cysts and visits to the ER. Within hours of taking the medicine Dr. Hannah gave me I was free of severe pain and slept for the first time in weeks. Soon after I was back at the gym, feeling emotionally more balanced, and I’ve remained pain-free. I appreciate her calm, compassionate attitude that allows me to be honest and feel empowered. Her care was the best I’d ever received. — Jen Chantrill
Dr. Hannah has a real love and passion for her work that shines through every time I see her. The dedication and care that she provides to her clients is tremendous. After taking a homeopathic remedy I quickly felt improvement in the symptoms I was suffering. I even had to be reminded of symptoms that were gone! — Tyler Oakley
After seeing Dr. Albert many changes started happening in my life. I’ve not had any episodes of insomnia, and my social interactions have improved. I experienced dramatic improvement with a severe throat infection as well. Thank you Dr. Hannah: homeopathic treatment has made a vast improvement in my life. — Brooke Azie, ND
I highly recommend Dr. Hannah as a homeopathic physician. She has helped facilitate my healing process in ways I thought previously impossible. The remedy she prescribed helped my formerly hypoactive thyroid regain proper functioning. Thanks Dr. Hannah! — Sara Light-Waller
For the past nine months I have worked with Hannah to address severe symptoms of peri-menopause and hormone imbalance. I feel the whole of me is being considered and treated. I’ve gone from train wreck to balance and the ability to embrace and honor this important, natural life transition. — Sarah M
Before I decided to seek help from Dr. Hannah, I had been struggling for years with chronic pain throughout my body, constant fatigue, headaches, PMS, depression, poor digestion, bloating and was in a general state of misery. With Dr. Hannah’s guidance, professional expertise, and insight, my health and my life have been transformed over the past year. Thank you, Dr Hannah, I have never felt better. — Jodi B
I’ve been looking for a homeopath who could also be my primary care physician for a long time and now I’ve found her. Dr. Albert asks the right questions, listens to the answers, and her diagnostic abilities are spot on. In her practice, she creates a harmonious, positive atmosphere that is completely supportive. — Nina G
Dr. Hannah helped me overcome what I thought was a hopeless situation. I’d been having severe testicular pain for nearly 8 months and had several embarrassing visits to medical doctors without results. With Dr. Hannah I was treated with dignity and respect, and prescribed a series of medicines that successfully helped my pain and for me to be more in tune with my entire body. The pain that was making my life miserable has virtually disappeared. Thank you again for everything, most of all your compassion! — Greg S.
I’ve been a patient of Hannah’s for years, undergoing a combination of homeopathic and body work therapies. Dr. Albert is a very skilled and knowledgeable practitioner who puts in a lot of time and attention to get to know her patients and to personalize their treatments. She creates a safe, comfortable environment in which her patients can open up and get to the root of problems. — Elizabeth D.

Char’s Wallace work is very intuitive and gentle. She has helped my body become more fluid and balanced.
