My GP was dismissive and just told me that's what happens in midlife. Any treatment would occur only if I was obese. I have a family history of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension so I was trying to be proactive, addressing issues before they turn into something serious. Sandra took my concerns seriously. She has a women's health background and with her help I have worked with my OBGYN on getting appropriate HRT on board. I've been able to stop some other medications I was taking, and I've lost 15 pounds. Yes, she is expensive and she requires a time commitment. I think people value what they pay for and if I could just see her instead of my GP I would. I highly recommend her services.

I started working with Stella at a time when I had been successfully counting calories for years,…read morebut knew that I was on the brink of stopping. Her idea of being able to be free of those confines (no matter how much comfort it gave me) was intriguing and refreshing. Working together, she helped me establish a framework for myself that I could use to make the healthiest decisions regarding food while still allowing me the indulgences that I craved. It took me a little while to put "everything in moderation" into practice effectively, but with her help it finally sunk in. Stella also challenged me to expand my horizons regarding what I ate, taught me how to make bread, and helped me find the confidence to experiment with my cooking. Now I bake my own bread and my own sweet treats, and I cook with greater confidence. My kitchen, instead of being a place that is just there, or something to dread, is a place where I find pleasure, and sometimes *gasp* even fun! I didn't think that was even in the realm of possibility for me. When I stopped working with Stella, I had the tools necessary to be self-sufficient in my eating choices. I still often find myself referring to the structures and support Stella helped me develop, or even hear her dropping little pearls of wisdom. She has had a long-lasting impact on my relationship with food and I now have the ability to keep evolving on my own.

I've been working with Stella now for almost a year. It's been such a positive and fulfilling…read moreexperience. I've learned to empower myself and approach lifestyle changes with my nutrition and fitness while balancing motivation and effort. So often in the past I struggled to stay consistent because I would get easily overwhelmed. Stella has a warm and wonderful approach to meeting me where I am and helping me do the next indicated step so that I don't get overwhelmed. I cook healthy meals regularly for myself now and almost prefer that to eating out. I also am diving back into endurance races and taking on other things I would have felt were too far out of reach before. I deeply appreciate Stella's 1-on-1 style that feels very personal to me. I believe she truly cares and is cheering me on as I cross those finish lines and onto the next. I'd recommend Stella to anyone who's looking to ACTUALLY transform their lives and use simple nuts-and-bolts/doable steps to get there. It's working for me...that's why I keep Stella in my close "Board of Directors" - helping me cultivate a life beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you!

Still, I have struggled with chronic physical and mental fatigue, malaise, brain fog and a number of other physical manifestations. For years, I have seen doctor after doctor - MDs and Naturopathic Doctors (NDs). I even sought out one of the best endocrinologists in the greater Seattle area and I continued to be told that my symptoms are normal for a 30 year old. The MDs referred me to tons of specialists who treated me for symptoms, but no one was looking at the underlying cause. I was referred to Dr. Elena from my ND for IV infusions to boost my immune system. I have a lot going on - hypothyroidism, hormone imbalances, persistently high Epstein-Barr lab values, low immune system lab values and more. Dr. Elena sat down with me for an hour through every IV infusion and asked about my history, how my treatment has been going and brainstormed ideas about how my treatment could be improved. I was truly feeling hopeless about my deteriorating health and body. Dr. Elena collaborated with my ND and other NDs regarding my treatment plan. I have felt so much more optimistic working with professionals that are sharing knowledge and expertise to help me improve. Dr. Elena is professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. My situation is complex, but I am starting to feel much better. I was kind of skeptical about the IV infusions helping me, but they really do make a huge difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Elena. If you have been searching for answers, Dr. Elena cares about finding out the root cause and working with you to improve your quality of life.

After our session Amanda sent me her notes which included the top three actionable steps we spoke about that I could apply immediately to my life. I can honestly say that they have made a noticeable difference since I applied them three weeks ago - both to my emotional wellbeing and to my sleep quality. They are now part of (and will stay part of) my regular practice. She also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutritional changes one can make that will help meet your mental/physical health goals which I also appreciate. It's definitely worth your time to check out a session with Amanda.

She is encouraging, effective, extremely responsive, kind when I forget the code (every time), she is professional but not in an uptight way and not overly "love and light" either, she is a great mix of both and does an amazing job. My sessions with her have been extremely helpful in the areas I've needed help with and in all aspects of my life. You may go for one reason say weight loss but you end up feeling better in all areas of your life. She asks the right questions to make you see things you didn't even realize were connected to what you are working on. Also, if I don't do my action items I'm not scolded like a little child, we figure out why I wasn't motivated to help myself. I think at times I forget that she is a guide not law enforcement (parent). She is worth every dollar I've spent and she is affordable enough that I can see her when I need to with some planning. I will never seek another hypnotherapist now that I have found her!!

I contacted Karen a few weeks ago because I was suffering from severe seasonal allergies. My eyes…read morewere itching, but mostly it chest congestion, which resulted in a post-nasal drip that had me coughing day and night. I know that, in the past, consumption of grains, like bread and pasta, exacerbated my seasonal allergies. I thought it had to be more than that and so I contacted Karen to help me. Karen was very responsive and immediately called me back, suggesting that we meet for an hour so that she could discuss with me my symptoms, my diet, my lifestyle and how we could adjust all of the above to alleviate my allergy symptoms. Karen is very knowledgeable and also very caring. She's a great listener and her suggestions for me were very practical. For instance, Karen advised that I avoid histamine producing foods, like oranges. I had no idea that oranges exacerbated season allergy symptoms. She also suggested that I add supplements to my diet, and, again, it was nothing that struck as extreme. 24 hours later I felt much better. 48 hours after that my allergy symptoms were largely gone, and I was able to sleep through the night without any coughing fits. In short, I had an exceptional experience with Karen, and I would recommend her without hesitation or qualification. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Karen for nutritional advice even without being afflicted by seasonal allergies (although that was the purpose of my initial outreach), and I'm confident that whatever advice Karen would give me would be effective, reasonable, and practical.
