Trouble was nothing was working. I was finally forced to go to the mainland to stay with my son for help. I spent a year in a wheelchair crippled, too weak to get the surgery I needed.

Also, they lost a medical specimen I had giving them and then blamed me because "well you left" Very unprofessional, she does not care about her patients.

They were so kind and gentle, and offered the perfect amount of support without pressuring you into doing anything you don't want. My baby and I snuggled, breastfed, skin to skin all that good stuff from the moment he was born. I was overwhelmed by the tremendous love and bonded quickly. Five months later my heart is still filled with joy just by looking at my son everyday, and my husband and I are so happy to have this little human in our life. I am grateful for my trauma-free birthing experience and I believe that helped make other things easier.

Doc Sarah is a FIND. I won't knock traditional medicine -…read morebut I do know, in my experience, it can be limited to medicating the symptoms without really examining the causes, and can feel like a patchwork of specialty folks who don't always see the whole picture. At Hilo Natural, I've found a practitioner with both a breadth and depth of experience in treating the whole human. Doc Sarah combines comprehensive lab work, lifestyle factors, supplements, and has been able to help me make progress with some thyroid and lab issues (and also more physio-related issues foot and shoulder pain) with a combination of nutrient support, medication, and interventions like prolon therapy (really helpful for chronic plantar fasciitis.) Also, she's really, really dang smart - and a compassionate guide thru what has been a difficult entry into my 40s. The office is run as a tight ship - which I realize is unusual for an area in which 'business hours' are often a loose approximation and the general standard of responsiveness and timeliness is WELL below average. Basically, you get San Francisco Bay Area level care, follow-up, and appointment management here - so if you are prone to the generally lackadaisical island approach to things, this may not be a fit. For those accustomed to a 'laid back approach' (read: not respectful of time and about a decade behind in innovation) - this place will come as a bit of a jolt. As someone who values innovation, results, responsiveness- and respects my own time and that of other people - this clinic is perfect as both my go-to for integrative treatment and as my PC doc. These folks won't keep you waiting or offer anything but the latest in education, utmost in professionalism and of-the-moment treatment- so return the favor and be on time, do your homework, and get results.

I usually get my MTHFR supplements from Dr Strongs office but last time her secretary tried to sell…read moreme either expired items or supplements she wrongly ordered. She said the company stopped making the B12 with 5L, so now the only way to get them was biying them separate, which was double the cost. After calling the company ( seeking health) and been told they have never stopped making these 2 supplements in one formula, and that was actually their best seller, I called her office to return the supplements and get my money back. Her secretary hanged up on me when I said she lied to me, and Dr Strong kicked me out of the office by email in response of my request for a refund. Ah, and when I asked the secretary what the 5L part of the supplement was, she rudely answered "Im not a doctor " What kind of customer service is this??

I found Angel Farms to be extremely helpful to me. I went there to do a complete detox for medical…read morereasons. It helped me a lot- and I also lost weight without feeling deprived at all! There were some very surprising things I learned about the body that has transformed my thinking. THere are also some elements of the type of eating plan we were on that I have maintained, and it does really help. Her staff, including her daughter Amie, are wonderful, the grounds are wonderful, and she reinforced some important awarenesses about the connection between body, gut health, mental and spiritual health that I really needed to hear. I strongly recommend her full detox program. Its not easy- and its well worth going through.

It is a life changing experiencing that has had a positive impact on my entire life!!! When I first came I could barely walk, and had several & severe health problems at a young age!!! By the end of my 10 day cleanse I was a brand new person but it didn't stop there two years later I'm thriving living the zestful life I deserve. My temple is clear and clean I now have the tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle forever. Cindy and her staff are so compassionate, loving and are now my Ohana. I learned to release all things that no longer serve me such as living in fear and now only choosing LOVE daily! I learned forgiveness on all levels and now know what it truly feels to live and embrace every moment that is a gift! The new property is even more magical with several fruit trees and waterfalls so serene. This is the real deal cleanse not the slap a bandaid on it Cindy gets to the root of your health problems in order for you to heal. Even if you don't have health problems its the perfect place to rejuvenate and treat yourself to become a clearer vessel rejuvenate mind, body, soul & spirit! By the end of the cleanse its amazing to see & hear others miracles and transformations as they feel healthier, they look younger and just feel plain happier!!!! I am forever grateful to God for Angel Farms its the most amazing Miracle Cleanse in the World!! This is the real deal cleanse everyone deserves!! I came home with a maintenance kit from AF and now can cleanse monthly which is so empowering. I learned here that an illness doesn't define who you are as we are creators I am a seed of God and remember my true essence I am LOvE. You are worth it if your reading this just book it!!! Health is Wealth and the time is now!! I went from barely walking to soaring higher than the clouds!!

I had a horrible experience from the start, which initiated me departing 5 days earlier than…read moreplanned. It actually began when I booked my stay, and due to poor communication and thoroughness (even when I went back to double check before booking my fight), there was a major snafu which the Dr. did not take responsibility for. Not to mention the terrible miscommunication in person with Dr. Baylac, which was unacceptable and no way to conduct business or speak to patrons. Additionally, this place is NOT one for healing, the environment has a massively toxic energy. The doctor should not be practicing any longer and this place is definitely not worth the money. I do not recommend this place at all.

The location is absolutely beautiful, and Dr Baylac & her team are amazing, caring, knowledgeable, and super supportive & helpful. They've also cultivated a warm community feel with other "retreaters" who are there. The fast finished with Dr Baylac coaching me through mindfully eating the most delicious watermelon I've ever tasted. I hope to go back in the future -- great gains in only 5 days & wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

I'm new to the area, and was pretty bummed to leave a great team of integrative medicine folks in…read morethe SF Bay Area. After 3+decades of pretty intense athletic adventures, I originally called Heather for help with some niggling physical stuff (plantar fasciitis, hamstring tendinitis, a grumpy shoulder) and also some deeper, systemic stuff I was experiencing (which later turned out to be a thyroid and adrenal issue.) I have experience with several different types of Accupuncture- and on our first call Heather let me know that her method might be different from what I was used to. She emphasized that she uses a subtle, systemic rebalancing approach - and that while we would work on my specific issues, it might be a different process than I was used to. The truth is, I've never found two practitioners to be the same, and part of what I find so effective about accupuncture is that each practitioner has a framework that speaks to their own experience and their energy- at best it's a partnership where their methods, training and energy meet my present circumstances and behaviors, and the healing happens somewhere in the middle. That's what I've found here. In my life, accupuncture with heather is an important part of what I'm doing to feel better - in addition to working with a naturopathic doc and doing physio. Bodies take maintenance- we live in them every day- and working with Heather has helped not just the acute physical injuries, but also feels like it's gradually helping restore some of the general sense of wellness I've been lacking. I really love that Heather offers in-home treatment. Facing health challenges is an incredibly vulnerable, emotional process - and I couldn't have a better partner in what is definitely a journey toward feeling like myself again. Heather holds space for not just the physical healing, but also creates a safe container for talking thru - and feeling - the more emotional side of the process. Her vast technical expertise is matched her kindness. I'm grateful to Heather (and Yelp!) for walking with me thru what has been a wildly challenging wellness year.
