In the last quarter of 2018, for more than three weeks and a few weeks before a planned trip to Africa, I lost about 85% of my ability to taste. I could barely make out spicy from savory nor sweet from bitter. I've historically been able to find quick temporary fixes. But for this bout, all my solutions were ineffective. Before heading to Kaiser and probably getting prescribed allergy medication (I've dealt with this before) and getting extremely fatigued from the medication, I took a recommendation from a close friend and I made a visit to Carol. There was the potential of a solution without pharmaceutical grade drugs and that made me excited. The allergy meds make me extremely sleepy and I was hoping for a new solution. I filled out a series of forms and alerted the practitioners to my ailments (more on this further down the review). Carol, along with Michael, did a series of test that boggled my mind. She put random substances on my bellybutton/navel area and tested my arm strength reaction to these substances. I can't intellectually explain what was going on but I trusted my friend's recommendation and I kept an open mind about everything. This last point is extremely key for those who are indoctrinated by western medical practices. My primary object was to regain my taste buds. I also told Carol that I was having problems being able to concentrate for extended amounts of time. Based on her test, she prescribed four or five different supplements. After about four days of using the supplements, I started to regain my ability to taste. By the time I revisited Carol for a follow-up two weeks later, I had fully regained my ability to taste and my ability to concentrate had improved. My body also had another unexpected positive reaction. I had a patch of mildly irritated skin around the knee area that went away. A few years ago, I had a Kaiser doctor look at it and she prescribed some topical steroids which never worked. I never mentioned the patch of skin to Carol during my first or second visit. I saw Carol for a third time, roughly a month after my second visit, and happily reported that whatever was irritating my skin had been addressed. What a wonderful unintended benefit. Go see Carol. read more

The quality of care that Dr. Carol provides is amazing! Her expertise and thoroughness provides a level of comfort and trust. I saw her because I was having extreme fatigue and back pain and my doctor never addresses my back pain and just refers me to physical therapy and OTC pain meds. Dr. Carol also found that my digestive system was weak and recommended some supplements that have helped me tremendously. She is also working with my 7yr old son who is on the spectrum and has been showing great improvement and he looks forward to seeing her each time. My 10 year old was also treated and she found that he was allergic to food additives and was breaking out in a rash and is now doing so much better. We love that our visits with Dr. Carol are painless and comforting! She is a true blessing and our 1 hour drive to see her is totally worth it. read more

Carol is an Angel! She has helped me with so many health issues, little or big emergencies as well as during Life transitions where my body needed the extra strenght. Recently I suffered from a concussion and I went to Carol the day after it happened and she was able to give me neuro-feedback which has helped my head heal tremendously and also cleared a big trauma from my childhood! I was so grateful to know someone such as Carol that also is able to give emotional support and mentoring. Over the years I have cleared mold, bacterial infections and strenghtening my thyroid health as so many other things like clearing chemical toxins I wasnt even aware of that were throwing my body off. I always reccommend Carol to my family and friends and will forever be grateful for her wisdom, kindness and open Heart to heal so many in need. read more

I was really lucky to have found Carol. She was literally my last resort. After having my thyroid removed my body has not been the same. I have experienced weight gain and swelling on my legs. I went to different endocrinologist and they all said the same thing that nothing was wrong that it is all part of hypothyroidism. Finally after seeing Carol she was able to get to the root of a lot of the issues I was having. She helped me get rid of heavy metals, parasites, inflammation, and helped me with my gut health. I am no longer swollen from my legs and I am finally losing the weight. I now recommend her to all my family and friends! read more

This doctor helped out a friend of mine who was vaccine injured. She helped her to walk again. -amazing doctor

Dr. Carol and Michael are amazing people as well as thoughtful healers. They are both very centered with good intuitive energy. It is difficult to explain why their therapy works in Western Medical terms, though the concepts make complete sense: give the body what it needs to function correctly and heal itself. Instead of taking chemical medicines, they use food based supplements to help your body be at it's optimum. I heard about Dr. Carol through my best friend, because a year ago I became the caregiver for my older brother who went through a medical emergency due to extreme high blood pressure. He is on the autism spectrum, is high functioning and had a full time job at Toyota for 18 years. The high blood pressure was controlled but it effected his brain so that he became non communicative, incontinent, unable to care for himself. He had every medical test performed through 4 ER visits and nothing could be found. All they could tell me was that "normal" people recover from a high bp episode in about a week. But, because of my brother's autism, they had no prognosis and no solutions. He was displaying all types of abnormal behaviors. I didn't know what to do. I took him to Dr. Carol because she does Neurofeedback Therapy. So no to bore you by writing a book, I just want to say that the first time I took my brother there, he had a walker, 3 of us had to help him up on the exam table, he was completely incommunicative, and was pretty much an "empty shell". Dr. Carol had me do the Neurofeedback as well so I would know what it is like. We both also did the Nutrition Analysis. Less then 6 months later, my brother now walks into their office without the walker, gets on the table by himself, and is able to answer their questions. He still isn't back to his "norm", but there is definitely an improvement. It is difficult to explain how the testing works. . . but it does. It is completely non-invasive and they treat the "whole body". Personally they've helped me with the stress and anxiety I'm dealing with being the caregiver for both my brother and my 93 year old mother (and my kids!). Dr. Carol and Michael are compassionate, lovely people who care about people and just want us all to be the best we can be. I highly recommend them for ANY imbalances you may have in your life--big or small, physical or mental. read more

Dr. Carol and Michael are the best! I've been in the wellness industry for well over a decade and have been to numerous integrative specialists, so I know that Dr. Carol is at the top of the game. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of my body and the issues I've been working on, but through simple yet thorough testing, Dr. Carol was able to gently uncover the areas that still need support. My energy has drastically increased, my mind is sharper, and I am at a "maintenance" level after only a short period of time due to Dr. Carol's diligence and my compliance to her program. She is a truly compassionate, sweet, and intelligent woman, and can quickly address and heal health issues in a powerfully effective but natural way. We need more practitioners like her in the world! read more

I have seen numerous Nutrition Response Testing practitioners since 2011 and Dr. Carol is hands down the best one I have worked with. She is calm, helpful, open and knowledgeable. She helped me recover from a joint replacement surgery in early 2019. Two months after my operation I still had intense pain and swelling. With her and Michael's help not only did I fully recover, I was also treated for other infections, mold and heavy metals. I feel totally different, in the best possible way, since starting treatment with her a year ago. The neurofeedback and emotional work that she does has brought me great peace during periods of stress and loss. The pricing is very affordable and they are always helpful when I call or text. I have referred two friends to Dr. Carol and both have also had remarkable experiences. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Carol for her care and expertise. She literally saved me and I feel strong and healthy again. read more

I'm so glad I found Carol as she has really helped me in tremendous ways. First, she gave me excellent info on how to improve my diet - all coming from my own body - and then deeper issues were addressed, including a long-standing issue with my neck. I had no idea it could be helped through nutritional supplements but it absolutely was. Everyone at Wellness with Gratitude is kind and helpful. They create a safe environment where true healing can occur. Thank you! read more

I had spent most of my life, since my teen years, going to specialist after specialist to fix the problems I had been having with my stomach, amongst other things. I was on daily medication for something that I was told could not be fixed and was having consistent pain in my stomach, regardless of diet changes or other medications. I was in so much pain and at the end of my rope that I was willing to try anything, when a friend gave me Dr. Carol Kelson's number. I was skeptical at first but being so willing to try something different after Western methods had failed me for more than ten years, I started seeing her in January of 2018 and in less than a year I am off the medication I had been on for ten years (my choice, she doesn't ever force anything on anyone.) Everything that she recommends is a choice, she has never made me feel like I HAD to purchase anything. I know she is in this business because she wants her patients to feel their best, 100% of the time. Today I feel better than I ever have, and I love that I have found a way to heal my body from chronic illness without use of chemicals or pharmaceuticals. Carol and her assistant Michael use a mix of different methods to heal the body, including diet changes, neurofeedback, therapy and supplements, which has healed my problems with IBS and a hypoactive thyroid (my hair was falling out in clumps and she had every strand staying on my head within a month) to name a few. It sounds like magic, probably because in some ways it is! I am forever grateful for being led to her care. read more

I have been coming here for about 10 months and they have changed my life. I feel better overall, my engery levels have increased, my eating habits have improved. I'm much more intune with my body. When I had a very bad cold Dr Carol gave me supplements that started working as soon as I took the first dose, I didn't need mucinex or any other 'traditional' medicine, which made me happy. Definitely go see them!!! read more

Dr carol Karlson has changed my life immensely and I will forever be grateful For her. I got lucky when my boyfriends cousin had given me her number and i figured why not. I was having a lot of trouble and at urgent care more than I should be. I've been seeing her for a year now and with any concern that arises from skin trouble to kidney pain to anxiety she's the one I call. I can't thank her enough. read more

I can't rave enough about Dr. Karlson. I've been a patient for just over 6 weeks and have never felt better. I went to her because I had very low energy and some sleep issues with anxiety among other things. I was amazed how quickly she was able to figure out where I needed support. I noticed results quickly and continue to feel better and better. She is kind, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit! read more

At the beginning I felt a lot of fatigue and stress, but when I started taking treatment I started feeling more energy and it really helped in energy consuming moments. On the plus side the treatment is not as expensive as others and customer service is amazing. read more

This is most overdue feedback, probably because I lack the words to express how amazing meeting Carol has been for me at so many levels. I was originally introduced to Carol for "Neurofeedback" which as I have understood is to holistically trains one's brain functions. A good analogy based on my experience is like getting an effective chiropractic adjustment to straighten your posture, except this is for your brain and emotions. Neurofeedback is progressive, effective and helps or even eliminates the need to take pharmaceutical drugs for emotional imbalances. There's much I can say what this treatment has done for me and my daughter, both, but Carol's practice goes so much beyond neurofeedback as I learned. Carol is an outstanding therapist, distinctly sharp minded, and very quick to understand and see through an underlying issue. Worth noting, I tend to be on the self-aware side myself and have met many folks in this field. Carol comes across to me as sharp yet non-abrasive, compassionate and empowered, both, and a gentle truthteller who delicately says the biggest things. Her approach has been to not directly say what to do but help you light up your own road and find your way, and she does this fast and seamlessly. You come away from just one session with clarity and results and a greater sense of purpose. My experience is quite personal but I feel it should be shared. My daughter was told she has ADHD by a few psychologists and I refused to put her on drugs as they suggested. I didn't trust the process which led them to diagnosing my kid with ADHD for one thing, and then how easily they wanted to write my kid a prescription just frightened me as a mom. The psychologist/therapists threatened me to say that my daughter will fail in her studies and will not be able to build and pursue stable relationships and friendships and that she will suffer because of my decision to not place her on drugs. Contrary to the threats these therapists made, my daughter is a good student at a challenging school (she was never a bad student even before we met Carol to begin with) and she's carried her friends for many years now, proving all those doctors wrong and I am so relieved as a mom. But that's not to say it was easy because my daughter did suffer from anxiety at times and also had issues that needed to be addressed. I went to so many therapists and Carol is when I finally exhaled and knew that I had found the right person to handle our sensitive issues. She helped me to build a better relation with my kid and understand her in ways I was not previously able to and also help my daughter to get rooted, more centered and just more comfortable in life. We both shifted as result of just a few sessions. My daughter is a well-rounded teenager and, while we go through our ups and downs, I couldn't feel more fortunate for how she's turned out to be. Again, Carol's approach was gentle and swift where she managed to do what other therapists failed to do in a much longer window of time. Carol also does a holistic form of testing where she will test her clients to see what their weakest organ is and then provide supplements to support those weaknesses the body shows itself to have. The test is very telling and you see your body react and get weak when it lacks a certain nutrient. This was another rather miraculous event for me. My body does not absorb certain protein needed for my iron supply and for years now I've had to get regular transfusions. Without knowing any of the background information, Carol detected this and it kind of blew me away. The natural supplements have been so helpful that after many years this was the first time I did not need a transfusion. Even my hematologist was quite surprised himself! The testing is simple and you see it yourself how it works. Most of the supplements I took, by the way, were reduced eventually and I didn't have to take them after a few months. The iron supply is the only supplement I take now and I will likely take this permanently. I think Carol has a genuine passion to help people and that's why the various dimensions of her practice are so complimentary and work cohesively and fast. I feel beyond fortunate to have met her. Self-help is surprising, complicated, deeply rooted and beyond the understanding of oneself and many times even a professional therapist. It is important to be in the hands of an aware professional who deals with such matters sensitively and keenly and can help bring clarity and a sense of purpose and resolve, and even enjoy mysteries of our journey in the end. read more

I am so so grateful to Dr. Carol Kelson. I brought my youngest daughter with ADHD to her on the recommendation of a friend. After her first visit, I wanted to an appointment for myself and by the following week, our entire family was going for visits. We are all doing so much better. I have suffered from an Autoimmune disease for 20 years. Between the combination of Neurofeedback and the supplement and nutritional counseling, I have never felt better. My symptoms have subsided, my pain has decreased significantly and I just feel so much happier. I did not fully understand the toll the stress has taken on my mental health until I started to feel so much better. My oldest daughter, also with an autoimmune disease, has shown significant improvement in her ability to cope with stress. She has been able to integrate fully into a new middle school and I have never seen her happier. My husband has been surprised how much better he feels and is the first to be ready to go to our sessions. Dr. Kelson truly cares about her patients. She wants the best for everyone. She is so kind and thoughtful and easy to talk to. I can't thank her enough for helping my whole family work through some very tough issues. Michael and Dr. Kelson are both so intuitive and compassionate, we all feel so well taken care of in their hands. read more

Dr. Carol Kelson has made a huge difference in my life! I'm slowly coming off anti-depressants, which I've been taking for over 20 years. This is the first time in 45 years I've not felt depressed. I dreaded the holidays, and as soon as I hear trick-or-treat I'd go deeper into the depression and it continued until the weather warmed up and even after that it could be a struggle. I've actually been enjoying the holidays and this is the first time I've put up decorations and I'm listening to Christmas music before December 24th. I struggled with pressure in my bladder and no doctor could figure out why as I didn't have a UTI. Dr. Carol discovered that I had a virus in my bladder and it's completely healed and I no longer have pain! I was feeling drugged when I'd get up to go to the bathroom at night and Dr. Carol figured out I was taking too much progesterone. I was spotting and now I'm not. I struggled with constipation my whole life and now I'm regular! I'm a retired dancer and have had joint pain and trouble with my knees but I feel so much better now! I eat healthy but there were some healthy foods I was eating on a regular basis that my body did not like and I'm so glad I now know what foods for me to avoid! Fortunately, chocolate was not one of them! Thank you so much Dr. Carol Kelson!!! read more
