Testimonials

Eddie and Margaret

PTSD, depression, and anxiety

“When my PTSD, depression, and anxiety evolved into severe substance abuse, I found myself in Inpatient Rehabilitation feeling absolutely nuts. Both Eddie and Margaret became deeply involved in my recovery process. Their approach was one that I had had no previous experience with, and I initially had some reservations about the value of including meditation and yoga into my recovery. I have discovered that these practices are crucial! The practice of mindfulness is a basic step that has to be established before any of the other work can take root and bear fruit. I have developed greater skill in quieting the noise in my brain, focusing on the issues that created the noise in the first place, and beginning to address them one at a time.”

Significant understanding of a need for self-compassion in order to heal

“I knew I wanted to work with Eddie as soon as I met him in a group therapy session. I could sense his wisdom, paired with a grounded and compassionate nature. He became an excellent resource for me in my Eating Disorder Recovery process. Through our work, I began to recognize the stories and patterns that had kept me within a disordered cycle. Eddie led me to a significant understanding of a need for self-compassion in order to heal. He guided me with techniques to develop this compassion through meditation and recognizing false stories. I became able to recognize and own my needs in order to protect my recovery. The tools I gained from my work with Eddie empowered me to work towards recovery while away from therapy. Our time together created strength in my ability to work towards and protect the healing I needed.”

Eddie & Margaret's shared experience and wisdom are a powerful force for positive change.

“Eddie & Margaret’s shared experience and wisdom are a powerful force for positive change. Eddie was my meditation guide through early recovery, and his teachings were the foundation that made incredible shifts possible in my life. Teaming with Margaret’s offerings of trauma-informed yoga for people seeking reconciliation with trauma or re-connection with their bodies discovering strength and resilience, they teach us to move more efficiently through a variety of difficulties modern-day life places before us, with patience and compassion.”

Margaret encouraged me to tap into my own wealth of feminine power

“I was referred to Margaret during a difficult postpartum time with my second child and I’m so very grateful to have found her. From our very first meeting in my home, I felt incredibly comfortable and able to be open, raw, and honest with everything that was on my plate. She is kind, gentle, peaceful, and just wonderful! Margaret encouraged me to tap into my own wealth of feminine power and energy and to nurture and care for myself – offering great breath work, mediation, and movement practices. In every session, she was present with an open mind and heart, ready to receive anything I wanted to talk about. Margaret is a really special person and I’d recommend her to anyone who’s looking for support and healing.”

I endorse Eddie wholeheartedly - he volunteered hours of his personal time when I encountered a crisis.

“I had the pleasure of working with Eddie as a client for a couple of years in Asheville. I leverage the skills I learned from Eddie in a high-pressure corporate realm. I utilized skills we worked on to perform well on the GMAT: breathing techniques, meditation, affirmations, and stretching. With a mental health diagnosis and history of addiction, I have found a consistent, holistic approach to health as a primary driver of success. The cocktails of RXs I have pivoted to in the past to enhance my performance or engage in hedonistic pursuits are not sustainable. I value confidentiality due to my career, yet I am happy to share my personal experience with any reader. I endorse Eddie wholeheartedly – he volunteered hours of his personal time when I encountered a crisis. It’s rare to find virtuous people in the recovery space that aren’t profit-motivated in my experience. Please contact me via Eddie – particularly if you suffer from comorbidity or you’re an administrator of a recovery facility.”

Eddie and Margaret have assisted my clients in gaining a new level of health and well-being.

“I have entrusted Eddie LeShure and Margaret Kirschner with the care of my clients for the past four years. I have sincere high regard for their skill, professionalism, and expertise. Beyond that, I have a strong understanding of their kindness and therapeutic approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, when I refer clients for care, it is vital to me that I trust who my clients will be working with as well as the efficacy of therapy in which they will be engaged. Eddie and Margaret have assisted my clients in gaining a new level of health and well-being. Whether it is working with substance use disorders, therapy using the body and mind, understanding an individual sense of spirituality, or teaching meditation practices, there are few others I would recommend as highly.”

I have known Eddie and Margaret for a number of years, and know first hand they embody what they teach.

I am a long time meditator and wounded healer. I have experienced many therapists and clinicians throughout my journey. However, what separates a clinician from a healer is that healers do their best to embody what they teach. I have known Eddie and Margaret for a number of years, and know first hand they embody what they teach. I would not hesitate to refer a family member to them.
