Documented Photos
My mother's hip replacement occuring simultaneously with my leg mold being made.
I was told by an energetic healer that I was attached to my mother at the hip when I began having issues walking in 2007. Six months later and without me sharing any of this with my mother, she experienced similar issues to mine in her opposite leg. Within two years, my mother had a hip replacement.
