Testimonials
The warm words and praise from my clients is a reminder of all the good work and good health I am happy to share. Please enjoy!
Stellar Strength has been a wonderful addition to my health and wellbeing. While working on my overall fitness, Estelle has also been able to identify certain areas that needed to be targeted with specific exercise. My energy and strength have increased tremendously. I would highly recommend Stellar Strength to anyone wanting to improve their health and fitness.
Estelle is wonderful! After two years of chronic inflammation (and two steroid shots as “bandaids”) I’m finally feeling natural relief and healing in my elbow. It’s taken some time, because my issue was chronic, but I’m back to doing all that I want without pain! Estelle is intuitive in her work, which benefits me in ways beyond my injury. She’s diligent, assertive, and creative with her therapy. By the way, she’s the only soul in the ATL who is pro at myofascial therapy. I didn’t know what it was, but I’m a believer in her work, her ability to heal pain and injury, medicine and intuition (and their synergy). She’s a gem and a new friend. Check her out at Eclipse One on One, or she’ll come to you. Catch her soon working with animals and the equine community! #nolimits.
I began as a client in hopes to find some scar tissue relief.
Thankfully, not only did she help with my scar tissue. She also helped my migraines, lower and upper back pain. Some days she helps my asthma!
The best part is I can go right back to my daily activities.
She has a beautiful personality and makes you feel at ease.
I highly recommend Estelle for body work! I just had a session today and she was able to help me release a 5 year old injury that was limiting my hip strength and flexibility. In just a few minutes more, she helped me release my upper back and shoulder from feeling bound up and vulnerable. Her skillful use of John Barnes Myofascial Release and Ki-Hara Resistance Training is transformational. Estelle’s courage to dive deep with me today has dramatically shifted the structural support for my hips and lower back…I’m so grateful and excite about the next session!
Estelle, owner of Stellar Strength, is a wonderful trainer and wellness professional. She is very knowledgable about how the body moves and tailors each workout to individual client’s needs. She is also helpful with nutrition and dietary changes. Estelle is warm, funny and will meet you where you are at, in order to move forward with your goals. She even comes to your house! Estelle is intuitive and is able to target the source of pain, even if it is not in the same area where the pain appears. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to work with Estelle.
Estelle is amazing. I was having problems with my neck and shoulders for years. So bad that I ended up in the emergency room. Nothing helped me. Then someone recommended Estelle and I’ve got to tell you, after my first session I felt a major difference. I then treated the most important people in my life to a session with her. Everyone could benefit from her healing touch.
Estelle specializes in Ki-Hara resistance stretching and Myofascial Release and tailors your treatment based on your needs and goals. I follow a very intensive and rigorous workout routine (Aerial Dance), and also have a couple of autoimmune conditions, so it’s vital for me to keep my body strong and balanced. After working with Estelle for 2 months, I already see a huge improvements in my overall strength and balance, and am able to do things physically I couldn’t do before.
Estelle is extremely personable, welcoming and patient. Estelle was able to identify the source of my imbalances and pain immediately. I am extremely thankful that she moved to the Atlanta area, and plan to continue to work with her to to achieve my fitness goals.
Last December I was hit by a car while crossing the street, and started having severe hip pain. I wanted to try to heal my injury holistically, and found Estelle through a referral from mutual acquaintance. On the first visit, my pain went from extremely painful to tolerable. I’ve since been working with her regularly on increasing my mobility and range of motion. I’m so grateful I’ve found her, because before I found her, I spent a fortune on mediocre bodywork through the years that hasn’t really done anything except make me feel relaxed for a couple of hours. Don’t waste your money on traditional massage therapy. Go see Estelle!
Estelle is a true miracle worker!! I had spinal surgery x 5 and have been left with debilitating neck pain and headaches. I happened upon Estelle by chance and my life has never been better! She is the ONLY one of her kind in the ENTIRE STATE OF GEORGIA! She is truly an EXPERT in John Barnes Myofascial Release and Ki-Hara Resistance Training (which Oprah put on her Favorite Things list!!). If you want to feel better in any aspect of your life, Estelle is your gal! I can’t even begin to explain the gratitude I have for her…she has brought such joy and happiness back into my life!! You won’t regret your decision to use her!
Estelle is passionate, intelligent, witty and kind. She has a strong desire to help people and to constantly learn more about her craft. She is amazing. She is intuitive about issues with your body and muscle groups and pays attention to your individual body mechanics. She is the muscle whisperer coaxing out all of the kinks and tightness in your body. All of my sessions are challenging but geared to my abilities.
Estelle has worked with me not only to gain strength but also correct muscular imbalances resulting in significantly improved fitness performance. I have increased strength and flexibility as well as improved muscle tone. I am functioning at a higher fitness level since I began working with her about 6 months ago and I recover faster from workouts. I enjoy multiple activities including running, Pilates and TRX and Ki Hara is the perfect complement to these other workouts.
A series of unfortunate accidents had left me with a poorly healed broken back and the lower half of my neck surgically fused. For two years I endured significant pain, severely diminished capabilities and a constant low-grade headache. I used to be a firefighting aircraft pilot and I have never been one to give up or quit for any reason – EVER. It seemed as if I was finally beaten and was close to giving up as I have ever been. Quite serendipitously, I discovered Estelle a week before I was traveling to Chicago on business. In one intense weekend of three sessions, she reached into the cavernous hole that had become my life and extricated me with immediate results. My headache gone, she showed me the path necessary for as near a complete recovery as possible. Thank you Estelle for helping me get my life back.
No question, working out with Estelle has been a game changer for me! Even disciplined individuals need professionals to help them reach their health and fitness goals. It’s not only about putting in the time, it’s about making sure it’s time well spent. My 5+ years has been time well spent! Building lean muscle has helped me lose body weight and more importantly, maintain my new weight level. By the way, Estelle’s engaging personality makes the workouts less painful!!!
I sought out Estelle to assist me with conquering my migraines. For years, I suffered from frequent migraines and short of popping pills nearly everyday, not much was working. My initial visit was very informative – it provided a completely different way of looking at how the body functions and holds on to pain. Instantly, I felt more relaxed, flexible and even elongated. After going for regular stretch sessions, I get fewer migraines. Estelle is great to work with. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. If I could, I would go daily.
I have been working with Estelle for the past few months for chronic back pain as a result of scoliosis and past injuries. I have been to medical doctors, chiropractors, and massage-therapists for the pain experiencing only short-term improvement. I have had the most significant and lasting results from the stretching that Estelle does. She is knowledgeable, committed and extremely intuitive in the structure and inner workings of the body. Estelle is a true healer.
When I first met Estelle two years ago I was a portly 197 lbs. and out of shape. Two years later and I am in the best shape of my life. I’m down to 165 lbs. and enjoy high energy levels all day. Estelle has a way of pushing you to the next level without hitting the breaking point. If you want to get toned and cut, Estelle Harford will get you there in 6 months. She is the “real deal”.
Hey there Miracle Worker. WOW!!!!!!! I can’t even begin to thank you enough for the treatments. My neck/shoulders/back feel SO much better.
Estelle Harford is my Ki-Hara practitioner. I had been very inactive after two back and shoulder surgeries from a wicked fall. I was released to start exercising but so stiff and weak I knew I needed something special. Ki-Hara is it under the hands of Estelle. I felt like a 10 year old again after my first session. I am growing more limber and strong. Soon I will begin fitness training with Estelle. Her spirit and non-judgmental style makes you feel like she is making friends with every muscle and tendon in your body. I highly recommend her for your trip back to how we are supposed to feel!
I’ve known Estelle for nearly 18 years. In the past few years, Estelle has become my personal trainer. She is efficient, truthful and produces results. Estelle pays attention to your individual body, your wants and needs. She has brought changes in my life, that I never thought possible. Not only has she changed my body physically, but has also instilled in me – a new confidence. Estelle has changed my mind, body and spirit. I highly recommend her as a trainer.
