Well I was, but really at the root of it I needed to learn to love myself and stop judging myself. Marina helped me to discover what was really bothering me and then through her amazing way of always being loving and gentle, she helped to guide me through the work I needed to do to find not just balance in my life but peace and self love. Years ago I had tried traditional therapy but that left me feeling ashamed and unsettled. In traditional therapy, I felt like I was being judged. In working with Marina, I felt her love, encouragement and support. I never ever felt judged. She never pushed me to explore areas that were painful but encouraged me to work at a pace that felt right for me. She helped me work through my fears and issues that I kept with me from childhood. I felt for years I carried a backpack of fear, shame & pain. Marina helped me unload that backpack. She taught me to love and cherish myself. Imagine what a beautiful world this would be if everyone loved themselves. I am so grateful that I had an opportunity to work with Marina. To be able to love myself and have peace in my heart feels so good. And the best part, is that when you no longer judge yourself you don't judge others either. That alone gives you more energy to love life, yourself and others. THANK YOU MARINA!!!!

She's the standard I use to measure other doctors.

I was drawn to Northern Medical Center because of its dual approach to health and thought there would be a good chance of being understood and treated without judgment. I was very nervous, but it didn't take long for me to feel comfortable. I was treated compassionately by the medical assistants as well as PA Rose Chasin. She was thorough in her approach and spent a lot of time getting to know me and my history - as did the assistant responsible for the initial intake. It feels good to say I have a primary care provider after all these years. We will see what the blood work reveals and then discuss a plan of action, with Northern Medical's onsite physical therapy, acupuncture and hyperbaric therapy as potential options. I would highly recommend this practice Deb B.

My condition deteriorated. I stopped taking the pharmaceuticals that are meant to be taken until death and offered no hope for recovery. Eventually, I decided to visit Elaine and take a different path. Elaine noticed my positive Lyme tests and she said let's go after that first. We did. It's a long road but there is improvement and hope. Elaine takes the time, listens and makes appropriate suggestions. I recommend Elaine and her team at Holistic family healthcare without reservation. Randa and Lee in the office handle everything else professionally and with aplomb. I actually look forward to a doctor visit. And get information that I wouldn't at the typical doctors office. Thank you Elaine.

Of all the reviews I have written over the last few years, this is probably the most important to…read moreme. Elaine hardy, MS, RN, APN, C; is not just an amazing medical professional, she is one of those caring and intuitive physicians from a bygone era. It used to be when you walked into a doctor's office, they had more than HMO training, more than just the ability to follow HMO rules and regulations, there used to be doctors who actually had knowledge and were intuitive about your body and condition. You will find this once again Elaine. Over eight years ago, after having gone to a myriad of doctors and specialist, all of which were baffled by my condition, it was Elaine who was finally able to pin-point my issues and begin to help me work through them. By the time I had reached her, I was in fairly bad shape, unable to walk on my own and had a lump in my breast, most doctors were penciling in the death certificate but Elaine took a far more positive approach. She worked with my family to help us develop a treatment protocol which centered around my desire to stay as holistic as possible. She was sensitive to my desire to treat the cancer holistically and supported my decision, even though at times, I knew she was concerned. Elaine did not lecture me or try to force me into anything I was not comfortable in doing. Instead, she would lay out the options to my family and allowed us to make the decision that best suited my body. Elaine then supported us throughout our chosen treatment protocol. I still have clean cancer numbers 4 1/2 years after having a 3 1/2 pound, triple-negative tumor removed in a mastectomy. When most doctors didn't think I'd make it off the surgery table, Elaine stayed supportive of our family. In the end, I survived the cancer. I am still dealing with the severe neurological disease that put me in a wheelchair as a paraplegic but even in what seems like a dead-end condition, we are seeing small steps forward. Elaine worked with all my illnesses from the beginning, helping me to find ways to deal with the pain, looking for new treatment methods when the old ones weren't working and giving me hope for the future. She never gives up on you, she just keeps on working to find the answers. Her knowledge is amazing and she is willing to think 'outside the box' in trying to find the root cause of your issues instead of treating symptoms, something that is difficult to find in the medial field these days. She looks for the layers that so often are involved in illness instead of a short-cut version that usually keeps one feeling...just good enough, instead of great! After seeing literally dozens of specialist, I have never met another medical professional that I hold in as high of esteem as I do Elaine. No matter where we are in the country, we find our way back to Elaine. It is because of her knowledge and support in helping us deal and work through both the cancer and the neurological issues that I am here to write this recommendation right now. If you are seeking a qualified and caring Holistic Professional, look no further. You will not be disappointed in Elaine Hardy.

I don't know how I can ever thank Tina enough for how positively she has impacted my life. I have…read moreknown and worked with Tina for the past 21 years, so it will be difficult to keep this review short, believe me, but I will try my best! I first engaged Tina as my physical strength and weight trainer. Her exercise training sessions are amazing in many respects. First, she has kept me in very good shape through her expertise, encouragement, and unending enthusiasm. As a musician I am very protective of my hands and wrists. Tina is always sensitive to this and modifies any exercise that might unduly stress them. This next thing will be hard to believe, but we have never exactly repeated a single exercise session in 21 years! I kid you not. Her imagination and vast knowledge allows her to come up with seemingly endless variations of exercises. Working out with Tina is never boring or rote! At the beginning of our sessions I was suffering from sinus problems and weight gain. Through a series of food eliminations we discovered that I was highly sensitive to dairy products. By suggesting alternative nondairy foods rich in calcium, I was able for the first time in my life to experience the joys of having clear sinuses. As a bonus I almost immediately started to drop weight. For 20 years I have maintained a healthy weight for my height and body type. Tina is also an expert chef and, as with her exercise instruction, has an endless supply of delicious and healthy recipes to share. The basic diet she created for me years ago is still the template I use for cooking to this day. Having turned 60 years old a little while back, I tested as having a rather high glucose level. I was so surprised, but found out that many people my age do. It's very common. Gone unchecked, however, it can lead to more serious consequences like diabetes. Tina assured me that with a few modifications to my diet I could easily reverse the diagnosis. Within 3 months, by limiting refined sugar and many simple carbohydrates, my glucose level returned to a normal rate. No medications required! I LOVE food. I LOVE to cook and to eat. (See my Yelp profile.) Thanks to Tina, at age 63, I am in excellent health, maintaining my weight, and enjoying healthy foods. Tina taught me how to love healthy food and create gourmet meals that I not only enjoy myself, but have no hesitation whatsoever to serve my guests to their total satisfaction and delight. Tina is a rare find in life. She is intelligent, kind, talented, and compassionate. I could not recommend her services more highly!

I never understood what it was--I just tried to learn how to live with it. Nevertheless, I met Tina and she introduced me to something called an "Elimination Diet" where for three weeks you cut out some major ingredients (wheat, corn, soy, pork, beef, refined sugars, etc) and later on reintroduce them separately to see whether or not a specific one induces a reaction. By now you're probably thinking, "But I need my cake," or "Who the hell would agree to that?" But as Tina once told me, "Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures. It should not be painful or frightening. So let's clean out that gut!" By the end of my journey, I can truly say that meeting up with this well-seasoned RD is one of the greatest investments you could ever make--just ask my gut. All jokes aside, Tina sincerely cares about the health of her "patients" (for lack of a better word) and she delivers messages that truly resonate with you. There is no amount of thanks I could ever give to demonstrate my gratitude. But for the sake of this review: THANK YOU, TINA. YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE!
