"Mr dear friend Gail":
You have touched my heart in ways I would not have believed possible. Your 'Gathering of Men' is an outstanding program. I wholeheartedly support it as a means for we men who truly accept ourselves as belonging and really meaning something to ourselves other than just our jobs, or society's perception of what we're supposed to be. You helped me learn who I really am and I profoundly thank you (and Joe) from the bottom of my heart.
Gail, as you know, I have been on a quest this year. I reached a point in my life where I realized that even though I have been contributing, I was empty and in search of fulfillment. I am not a weak man, but I learned fear. Fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of trying something new. I was stagnant. My first awakening came at the hands of Tony Robbins and his program. I must say that he too has helped propel me on my way and I love him for this. But the closest I have come to him has been to shake his hand. Your program is so intimate and 'one on one' that I am eternally grateful that God gave me the brains and heart to decide to attend and participate in your group. I am connected and balanced beyond my wildest dreams and I must say that anyone who attends and plays will be a winner. You help connect the dots. Am I done with my quest? I can honestly say 'No.' Now that I know what I know, I need more. I want to continue so that someday in the (near) future I can give what I've learned back to people less fortunate than myself. If I never make another penny, I am rich for what I recieved from you and my new found friends. This program is for all men with no exceptions.
Thank you and please, please continue with your outstanding work. You make a difference."
From my heart with love,
Julian P.
The first association I had with you, Gail and team was your March 18, 2006, Women's Wellness Weekend. When I read your pamphlet prior to attending I thought "WOW. She's making some pretty big claims for a weekend." You delivered!
That experience and my Day of Relaxation and Healing have honestly had a positive cumulative effect on my life. I am continuing my positive affirmations (they are stickies everywhere) reframing negative self-talk to positives; am more peaceful during difficult times. The therapists you chose were wonderful.
Thank you for being who you are.

Dear Gail,
I want to take a moment to thank you for touching my life along with many other men that attended the Men's Wellness Weekend a couple weeks ago. Being a part of something as powerful as this weekend was something that I could only have dreamed about in the past. The freedom and direction I found by attending our weekend was "just what the doctor ordered."
Many times in my life I have been a part of different types of groups that talked about making a difference in someone's life. Our weekend was by far one of the most powerful in my life. The friends that I met there and the growth I feel I was able to have been far beyond what I could ever expect. Feelings have always been something I liked to think I showed but really never could share with a group of complete strangers.
This Men's Wellness Weekend was so comfortable and real that I was able to overcome many fears and character flaws that I did not realize were holding me back. Your love and caring in the way you brought the best out of all of us was wonderful. Thank you just seems to be such a small word for what you do. Unfortunately, I do not have any other words so I hope you will accept my humble thanks. I know I have a special place in my heart for you and what you do and know I do not speak for just myself. Every one of the men that I have talked to since the weekend expressed the same feelings. We are looking forward to the next chance to go through another weekend with you.
If there is anything that I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you Gail for showing me, "ME".
Yours truly.
Kent P.
It is amazing to me how much my life has changed for the better since meeting the two of you. before my marriage was a wreck, I was in the middle of bankruptcy, had nowhere to live. Now look at me. I am a homeowner, I have money in the bank, a child on the way and a marriage that is going great! We are the happiest we've been in a long time.
Thanks to you two,
Sincerely,
Tina
I sit here looking back on all the Seminars I have done. As I reflect I get in touch with all I have gained from them. The main thing being communication skills. In days prior to Seminars, I had a lot to learn about getting my thoughts and feelings heard and I mean really heard without criticizing people in the process (by people I mean my husband). After doing several of your seminars, I have learned to communicate with love without accusations and it literally has saved my marriage. Now the Women's Seminar has allowed me to feel good about myself around women. I was afraid of women because I always felt they hated me or I felt not good enough to be their friend and confidant. Today I have connections with Women I didn't know was possible. I have never known a bond like that in all my life and I will cherish that always.
So thank you Gail for the miracles and the gift of lifetime rewards. I AM SPECIAL AND ENOUGH!
All my love,
Kim
For me it was a remarkable experience. At times I was overwhelmed with the support, the bonding and the whole process. As you said, magic is worked there and that most of the work, learning and healing takes place in the second day.
I have heard many wonderful things about you over the years. I am working on my goals and toward my goal date. It was helpful to put that all in writing. You are a wonderful role model for all women, Gail, and I wish you the very best always.

Hi Gail
Two years ago my husband and I bought your weight control tape while on vacation in New England. It worked wonders! I lost 43 pounds, a constant 2 pounds a week! We love your voice!
Thank you very much,
Molly L.
Gail's work is life changing.
I look twelve years younger my daughter said after taking the Women's Wellness Weekend.
When I finally released some of the pain in my life, I looked like I had a face lift and felt fantastic. After taking the Women's Wellness Weekend I feel like I am smiling inside. I have the confidence to create the life I choose. Life is joyous. Inspirational and life changing. I feel like my life has been recharged.

I would like to share with you how wonderful participating and working with Gail Petrowsky in Wellness Options Seminars has been for me.
First off, a little about me. I'm a working mother and my husband, Randy, and I have a 2 year old, Michael. It's a hectic day for all of us. We all leave the house in the morning, Randy to his job, me to my job and Michael to daycare.
Sound familiar? That's why I know where you guys and gals are coming from. It's another reason why I enjoy being around Gail. I'm constantly learning strategies to help me in daily life.
Taking Gail's seminars has given me a new outlook on life, and the way that I lead it. I have learned that I have to take care of myself before I can take care of others. Because if you do not take care of you, you will not be there to take care of loved-ones. I have learned that I have to prioritize my life, leave some things until tomorrow to take advantage of what is happening today. You must live life to the fullest, because who knows about tomorrow. You have to accept other people's limitations and work with them and around them, not against them. You have to set time to relax and be with yourself.
When I assist at Gail's wellness seminars, it gives me time to work on my own life, moving it forward in a positive direction and to help other people and support other participants. It makes me very happy to see the difference that the seminars make in people's lives. When I leave a seminar, I feel great about all that has been accomplished.
My job at Right Trac Financial Group is very rewarding. Gail's husband, Joe Petrowsky, is president of Right Trac. He is a dynamic leader. He takes great pride in helping people get qualified for a mortgage.
Doing the wellness seminars has also helped me in my work. I have become more open with people. I can communicate better than I ever could before. Before the seminars, I was sometimes very nervous about talking to people. Now I am a better problem-solver and I feel more comfortable communicating with people. It has helped me to become more assertive. I am able to relate to people a lot better.
I highly recommend Wellness Options Seminars. I guarantee the seminars will make a difference in your life.

Dear Joe & Gail,
It was once again fantastic working with both of you this weekend. I continue to be awestruck by the work you do Gail and how much the people get from their weekend experience.
Thanks so much for our continued friendship and for the roam and meals this weekend. You guys are the greatest!
Barbara
Thank you Gail!
Until the Women's Wellness Weekend, I had no idea how much I missed out on in life. For years I was incomplete. I always referred to myself as a fighter for my family and friends. And a fighter for what I thought was the correct way to live. But I never really fought for ME or the correct way for me to live. No one could have made me believe that in one weekend I could find the most important part of me that had been missing "MY SPIRIT". I had buried it beneath everyone else's needs for so long I almost forgot where it was. I now have regained that most important part of all of us and I have embraced it like a long los friend and we are having a great time. It was a little damaged but still strong. ALL MY SPIRIT needed was a little attention.

Dear Joe and Gail,
I thank you very much for the second healing. I don't even pretend to understand at this time all of the knowledge that Gail possesses. She is just the most knowledgeable person in human relationships that I have ever met.
I have seized the moment again and reconnected with my son Gordon and my brother Everett. I have asked each of them to come to the mens's wellness next year. I have already shared a dinner with Ray.
I was glad to be a witness to the Miracle of Roberta's and Kahty's exit from estrangement. It was a powerful thing for me to see!
You have no dogma or doctrine and yet you heal! You do better what others just talk about. I was spiritually bound and you set me free! I don't even begin to understand the reasons why you don't form your own Church. But I wish you would so we could see you on a more regular basis.
Love,
Bruce
Hi Gail:
Your seminar was truly the most meaningful event I've ever had the pleasure to experience. It was difficult at times to do the things required, but the end result was well worth any effort expended. You have a unique way of approaching some very personal issues, but so very effective. There have been times I've attended events aimed at the same basic issues as your seminar, but none that ever had such an impact on me. It was a more intimate, personal; atmosphere that lifted my spirits more than anything ever has.
The usual outcome for me is that I'm pumped up while it's all happening, and then once I'm away from the atmosphere my enthusiasm disappears within a couple of days. Your seminar is the very first such experience that stayed with me, and left me feeling so very grateful and blessed. I still get angry easily, but now the anger is easier to control. I remind myself I no longer need that anger. Sometimes it makes me wonder if it isn't habit because it's been so engrained in my life for so long. Thanks to you, it's something I can look at with a different viewpoint.
Your methods and nurturing are truly phenomenal – you have a way of bringing out such honesty. Joe was so right when he said "Gail gets the good, the bad and the ugly". You took some flack from several people, but remained calm and gracious through it all. Joe also said, "There should be more Gail Petrowsky's out there" and he is right about that, too. There would be more mentally healthy people out there. I'm convinced of that.
Please keep doing what you do so well. Thanks for doing so much. You're so energetic.
Love,
Maggie.
Gail, your seminars are eye opening, a conscious awakening, empowering, freeing and more. I want to thank you and your assistants. You all give so much.
Karen
Dear Gail,
Last year I attended three of your seminars: Two Women's Wellness and one Healing the Child Within. Although initially I had no conscious idea what I was getting into, I had faith the Universe was sending me in the right direction. Having faith in the Universe is obviously one of those wonderful gifts I mentioned prior because the growth I have experience since is colossal. It feels as though I have been freed from sticky webs in my head that always seemed to bind, confuse and hinder.
I think the most important accomplishment I achieved in your Seminars was self-love. I can honestly state that I do love the woman that I am. I have become patient, tolerant and loving to myself and my child within. I am learning to use all of my gifts for the good of myself, my family and the people whom I touch in my life.
I have great faith in your work. Thank you both once again.
With love,
Kathy B.
Dear Gail,
My weekend with you last week has me energized. I'm approaching "issues" in my life in a new and positive way. When I arrived that morning I didn't know what to expect. My friends had told me I'd tap into areas that might need attending to..and take steps to resolve some things. Me? What issues? I was all set, but I'd give it a try anyway.
On of those areas that needed attending to turned out to be my job and how I could make improvements both professionally and financially. Although my boss and I communicated well, he had no trouble telling me what he wanted. I wasn't being forceful enough and had a bad habit of pushing aside things that needed attention.
Another area was my relationship with my Dad, and how difficult it was to get him to say those two magic words: "Good Job".
I kind of let the weekend unfold. That first day I did a lot of listening and that was good for me. I slept great that night. The next day I was ready to talk but I didn't know it. Another thing I didn't know was that I had taken some baby steps toward self-discovery. I was able to open up because I was in a safe environment with good people. I got a lot of stuff out that I had pushed aside.
It was a great weekend. Thank you.
Best wishes,
Len M.
Gail Petrowsky of "Wellness Options Seminars" is a wonderful facilitator.
She has done many different seminars over the past few years and I have had the pleasure of attending three of her weekend ones, as well as progressing to being a volunteer assistant as many of these seminars are repeated.
As a participant, I have found that if a person is willing to risk opening themselves up, they will reap benefits that know no boundaries.
The first seminar that I went to was "Healing the Child Within", and I was skeptical as to the validity of such a thing. I walked into the room knowing that it was going to be a waste of my time and that there was nothing that could be done to relive the pain that I carried from my childhood.
Before that seminar my father and I spoke only when we absolutely had to, I could not find it in my heart to let the past go away. When that weekend was over, I found that I had come light-years from where I had started. I understood that my father had only done as he was taught and that if I did not like the way that he was taught, then I only had to make sure that I did not teach my son those same things.
For the first time in many years we were able to speak with each other civilly and that has now progressed to the point that I have quit my job to come to work with him in his business so that he may retire in a few years.
Since that first seminar, I have also participated in "Men's Wellness" and "Relationships", as well as short evening series that Gail did on stress relief. I also voluntarily assist Gail with every seminar that I can so that I can help others to learn some of the things about themselves that I have learned about myself.
I know that these seminars are not the end all of anyone's emotional problems, for a panacea would never last, and that we all must work to keep our lives on track, but with these seminars I have found a way to keep myself on track.

Hi Gail,
A voice from your past. Just wanted to say HI.
I am in Florida for the winter after having retired in September from teaching. I have thought of you many, many times over the years but your name came up the other day and I just wanted to share it with you. I was telling a new, wonderful friend about my time when I was seeing you and I said without hesitation, "Gail Petrowsky saved my life".
Now that is an amazing statement and especially after 15 years have gone by. You probably hear it all the time, but I hope you can really understand it. Gail, thanks so much.
I am handling a lot of things right now and the key word is handling, all thanks to you and the strength and tools you have given me. When I am back up north this summer, I will sign up for one of your seminars and look forward to seeing you again.
Hope you are well. Thanks again,
Cindy H.
Dear Gail,
This is Monday, the day after the Gail Petrowsky – "Wellness Options Seminar", a truly grueling, emotional weekend. I have done healing work on myself since 1988. I have attended many lectures and workshops as well as studying, reading and traveling to many healing places to study, learn and heal my mind body and spirit.
I thought I had addressed everything there was and there was nothing left to confront. Somehow you saw a part of me that I had buried. A part I thought I would never let out or let anyone see.
If anyone ever told me I would do what I did this weekend, in room full of individuals whom I did not know at the start of the weekend, I would have told them "that will never happen!"
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for asking me to attend, then in the moment when I felt someone else needed me more than me, insisting that I allow myself the time and right to attend.
Your intuitive ability saw a deep pain in me that I did not, could not, or maybe even would not acknowledge. Couple this with your gentle, caring (and sometimes, kick ass) supportive method, I was provided a safe space in which to face that dragon buried in my heart and soul.
To be allowed to acknowledge I had a story, lead to understanding the mask that held my story in place, then receiving the loving support I needed, I finally found the courage to utilize the tools your seminar provided, to face My Dragon.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank your beautiful, sincere, outstanding staff. They were so invisible and yet when needed like Angels appeared.
Their love and support helped me over some very rough spots. The nod that let you know they understand without speaking, the tissue without the question, and the sound of their laughter mixed with mine, let me know I was safe, it was okay, and I was loved and accepted for who I am. You have chosen your people well. Please give my heartfelt thanks to all.
Gail, what you promised you delivered! "If I was committed to the Seminar fully, if I dared to risk allowing you to enter, I would receive a gift of healing!" You made it okay for me to loose my self composure and slay that dragon in such a powerful way, that this I say to you in the light of naked truth...
"It is my story, but it does not own me, ever, ever, ever, again!!"
My dearest Gail, I have removed a block in my life which has caused me much sorrow and pain, as well as blocked a part of my heart for most of my life. That block is gone! I am in profound peace today. The peace I have right now is very overwhelming; it is a peace I have never known in my life. Thank you does not seem sufficient.
You are a courageous woman with a powerful gift, one who dares to put herself out there for others. I pray that the God of All, will continue to grant you the means, ability and gift of spirit to continue to see and help those who need you.
Blessings to you always,
Tricia S.
