I am a 66-year-old woman who was suffering numerous maladies including indigestion (reflux,…read moreheartburn, stomach pain) and painful joints as well as a series of infections including double pneumonia and UTIs. What prompted me to seek professional help though, was a seizure which scared me more than any of the other symptoms. I had consulted with numerous doctors and specialists who, after many office visits and tests, provided temporary symptomatic relief but gave no answers or explanation for why I was having so many problems. My energy level was lagging and despite my age, my quality of life had declined severely over the previous 3 years. A friend had prompted me to make an appointment with Dr. Cora Rivard who had helped her considerably with a variety of problems she was experiencing. I had been taking Prilosec (omeprazole) for several years for my issues with indigestion. One of the first things Dr. Rivard addressed was the vitamin deficiencies I was experiencing due to long term use of that medication. As I suspected, many of these health issues were related and nutrition deficiencies were to blame. I cut back on the dosage of Prilosec and began a regimen of supplementation which brought my body back to the health I had enjoyed previously. Reflux, heartburn, and stomach pain went away. Joint pain virtually disappeared and infections are now a thing of the past. Dr. Rivard has worked with me to regain my health and encouraged me to become an important part of my own recovery. I recommend her and the approach she offers to anyone who is concerned about their health and well being.

After seeing multiple doctors and undergoing many tests, all with no diagnosis or treatment of my symptoms, I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Kristy Fassler of North Coast Family Health. Dr. Fassler was recommended to me by several family members who have received successful treatment from her. I have been seen several times at North Coast Family Health in the past 6 weeks and my progress has been incredible! Dr. Fassler took the time to listen to all of my symptoms. I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme and a co-infection of Bartonella. Dr. Fassler carefully came up with a treatment plan specific to my needs: nutrition and herbal supplementation. After 6 weeks of following her treatment, I am SO happy to say that my symptoms are improving, my anxiety has lessened by about 75%, and for the first time in over 8 years do I feel like I'm becoming myself again. I am thankful that I have been able to find a treatment through nutrition, herbs, and supplementation. I love how caring and compassionate the entire team at North Coast has been. Dr. Fassler is clearly very knowledgable in naturopathic medicine, as well as her Lyme literacy. I can not thank her enough! I would highly recommend Dr. Fassler and North Coast Family Health!

Having the initial 2 hour visit helped Dr. Aguiar hone in on my history, current symptoms, and concerns. We did a set of 3 tests: one for Lyme, one for SIBO, one for adrenal fatigue, and he was spot on for all 3! Dr. Aguiar has since moved to a new practice, so I now see Dr. Quinn. Her many years of expertise helps me to constantly refine my treatment plan to help me reach not only a functional level of health, but an optimal one. I highly recommend anyone with Lyme or suspected Lyme and co-infections to go to North Coast. Same rings true for anyone seeking to improve their general health, such as if they have low energy, changing hormones, digestive ails, and any other chronic condition such as asthma, allergies, eczema, and naturopathic medicine is also great for proactive and preventative care. There is even a naturopathic oncologist! There are also multiple treatments such as IV laser, topical light therapy, IV's, IM injections, craniosacral therapy, constitutional hydrotherapy... they do it all!

When we first started working together, I was hoping to reduce some of the gastrointestinal issues…read morethat have been wreaking havoc on my body for years as well as begin the journey to healthy weight loss. I have struggled for years with up and down dieting and wanting to try to lose the weight once and for all. Up until now, I had been seeing a gastroenterologist for the past year and had every test under the sun (colonoscopies, blood tests, stool samples, breath tests) all of which were "inconclusive" one way or another and I was lumped into the diagnosis of "IBS" like so many other women looking for answers. For years, I had tried dieting and had very minimal success, for short periods of time but nothing that lasted more than a year. Now, for the first time in my life, I am not bloated 24/7. My fatigue level has decreased significantly, and my body feels better. This is a hard concept to explain because I didn't even realize how horrible I felt before. The biggest development however, is for the first time I have no eczema. Last year, I developed eczema on my hands and face for the first time ever. I now utilize this as a sign that I need to pay attention to what I am putting in my body. I also feel like I am finally able to control how my body responds. How it responds to stress, food, life and all of the in-betweens. It is amazing to figure out something you never even knew in the first place! If you are thinking about working with Ayla, I would recommend taking the plunge and doing it for you, to make yourself feel better and nobody else. I feel hopeful, finally.

My psoriasis (which covered 90% of my body) was going away, my digestion was improving, my energy levels were up, my menstrual cycles improved. She even helped me discover an un-diagnosed thyroid condition which was impairing fertility. She gave me my life back. Right now I have no psoriasis, my digestion is better and my throid levels are normalizing. I would highly recommend her, especially if you feel like there is no other options or hope. She is an amazing listener and takes your symptoms and concerns seriously. I am so grateful to work with you.
