“It’s January，1965。 I’m in my sixth week in utero。My osteoblasts are about to start building my first rib on a neck vertebrae instead of the thoracic section of my spine。 In other words， it’s a mistake。 But I won’t know this is the rare “arterial thoracic outlet syndrome” for another 43 years。 This is a book about the importance of modern medicine and its relationship with natural folklore medicine。 How opposites attract and can ultimately destroy or complement one another in the physical body。”Welcome to Tanya Roesler-Kirby’s compelling story of love， self discovery and a medical diagnosis that turned her world on its axis。 Blessed with a unique gift for describing the depths of esoteric thinking， Tanya brings you an intensely personal account of a life lived without apology。 From her turbulent childhood to the volatile love affairs that left her reeling and healing， this is a startling narrative five decades in the making。An unforgettable story told in short， sharp bursts of epiphany， From Neglect to Respect features sparkling snapshots from Tanya’s international modelling career and her first foray into the demanding world of physical therapy。 She also reveals a spiritual journey dotted with psychic and somatic revelations that land as heavily as the energetic burden of her father’s suicide。In Tanya’s own words，“I was born practicing energy management 101。 My story is about resolution and triumph in the face of adversity。 Little did I know about the destiny designed in my physical body。 The universe within my body is now well explored， tried and true。 It is all love。”
