    They are really trying to work with me to find meds that work. This exceeds my expectations of customer care.

    I have been working with Linda since January, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. Before…read moremeeting her, I felt like I was doing everything "right" and still getting nowhere. I was working out every day, hitting my steps, and eating what I thought was a very healthy diet with foods like avocado, eggs, salmon, hummus, and plenty of protein. Even with all of that effort, the scale would not budge, and I could not understand why. Linda changed everything for me. She helped me understand that while I wasn't in a huge caloric surplus, I was eating much more fat than my body actually needed, and that imbalance was keeping me from losing weight. For the first time, someone explained the science to me in a way that made everything click. With her guidance, I made small but meaningful adjustments, and since reducing my fat intake, I have not only lost over 20 pounds in a steady and healthy way, but I also feel better overall. My digestion, energy, and general sense of well being have all improved so much. What I appreciate most is that Linda never made healthy eating feel restrictive. She helped me find balance, understand my body, and still live a full and happy life while making choices that support my goals. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in long term success. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health.

    I cannot rave enough about how incredible Linda has been for my health and weight-loss journey! She…read morecompletely changed the way I understand food--what to eat, when to eat, and how to balance fats, carbs, and protein in a way that fits effortlessly into my life. And the best part? I never had to give up my love for delicious food or drinks! Before working with Linda, I had no idea I was eating way too much fat. She opened my eyes and gave me practical, easy-to-follow guidance that has made such a HUGE difference. I feel healthier, lighter, more energized, and honestly... more empowered. Linda is supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in her clients' success. If you're thinking about getting a nutritionist--do yourself a favor and go see her. She's a game changer!

I didn't want someone to just lecture me for an hour on it. I also know a lot of nutrition type people are coming out of the woodwork now and it is hard to know about their credentials. Cindy is a Registered Nurse and she has spent countless hours studying and earning her post graduate degree nutrition. In essence, she brings a solid medical background and weaves it into the confusing world of nutrition. She provides testing for food allergies, nutritional analysis, counseling and a genuine concern for your well being. I felt really comfortable discussing my diet and eating habits with her and I am surprised at how easy she made it.

She truly cares about every patient she sees. With the use of a Zyto scan, which is 100% accurate, she is able to quickly pinpoint areas of weakness in your system. Once those areas are identified, through the use of muscle testing she is able to create a protocol of supplements that are specific for what your body needs at the time. She is also a great resource for other holistic approaches in supporting your body's needs. I have learned so much from Cynthia about nutrition and how to provide my body with the nutrients it needs. I have been seeing Cynthia for about 4 months now and my original symptoms have pretty much disappeared. In addition, I feel so much more energetic and my overall health has improved. Cynthia had totally changed my life for the better and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

I had had enough so I reached out to Dr Huang and within 2 visits my hip pain was gone! It's been a few months now and the pain is still gone. He's very easy going and pin pointed my issue right away. He's never pushed any supplements or products. Dr Huang just makes suggestions on a more natural route to take. In my experience a holistic natural path always works best for me instead of pills that just mask the real problem. 10/10 would recommend if you can appreciate someone who is not in it to get rich but actually wants to help people.

I know that when I work with her, she is going to challenge me in all the ways that allow me to look at my behaviors and what I desire and figuring out how to get them to align. She is always very supportive and I love her nurturing style. She makes sure that I feel safe which isn't what I have always been used to but that's what allows me to open up. I also love how passionate she is about her work and I can tell she really wants to HELP people and cares a lot.

When Vanessa and I initially talked, I realized I was struggling with boundaries around food, personal time, self-confidence, self-worth and making the time to put my body first: essentially, what I came to know as Body Wisdom. Not a phrase you might have heard of specifically before, but this is one of the key phrases that I learned early on in the Feed Your Power Coaching Program. Every week, I learned something new to tap into, to slow down and absorb, and how to listen to what my body was telling me it needed whether food, movement, rest or hydration. Since the program ended, not only has Vanessa still been supportive, but I've found myself making healthier food decisions, setting healthier life boundaries and realizing that my body does have the wisdom I need, if I'll slow down enough to listen to it. Vanessa did that! As a coach, my relationship with Vanessa developed organically, with no pressure on her side, but continual positive affirmation, positive self-talk and she provided so much more than I could have expected from ANY coach, especially in a group program. I highly recommend working with Vanessa, and have mentioned her to many friends as a way to re-establish healthy boundaries and perspectives around food and personal health. I look forward to working with her in the future on a more individual basis as well!

Her deep, science-based understanding of physiology, especially when it comes to female and athletic bodies, is truly unmatched. She meets you exactly where you are, tuning in to your personal needs while offering practical, meaningful guidance that leads to real change. What sets Shanti apart is her whole-body, natural approach. She's not someone who pushes a Western medicine fix for everything--she's incredibly attuned to the body's natural rhythms and honors the simplicity and wisdom of how we're built. She challenges me in the best ways, always pushing me toward actual growth while being emotionally supportive and truly caring along the way. And honestly--her approach works.
