Testimonials

Before treatment:

Patient: I was not loving school. I didn’t have a lot of self-worth or motivation. I had big fits, like hiding in a locker to avoid a test. I didn’t sleep well and I had dyslexia anger. I wanted to be a genius, wanted some kind of perfection. I was the most stressed about not being able to read. I was crazy! I had to know about leaving the house an hour in advance.  I drove my parents crazy and I scared my little sister.

Mother: I was dreading going back to school. She would act out in class and get in trouble. She couldn’t stay quiet.  I had to trade her group ski lessons back in for one private lesson because the anxiety of being in that group was too much for her.  At home, I would ask her to brush her teeth and she couldn’t get from the kitchen to the bathroom. Pretty regularly she was having such extreme fits that in the evening we would have to hold her down so she wouldn’t hurt herself or anybody else. As a parent, when you are in it, you can’t believe that you have gotten to the point with your child that you haven’t helped her deal with anxiety and stress that has thrown her into crisis mode.

After treatment:

Patient: Now I handle stress really well. I am able to stop and think and plan. I can hear that voice telling me this is a horrible situation and tell it all the reasons it is wrong and kind of organize myself to calm down and be more successful. When I start feeling like I am going into a crisis, I make a really good list, which is something I didn’t know I could do before, but having that written plan is a skill that I think having the clarity of homeopathy helped with a lot.  I realized I have a lot of talents. I found out I am a good leader and have strong opinions I am proud of. I am better at multi-tasking. I am fun to have in a group project. I have become comfortable with writing, and even write poetry on my own. I have made better friends and I have been able to step outside my comfort zone in a lot of different ways from the hobbies I do to how I compete with myself and others. I am in charge of my own schedule and keep my own calendar and can make plans ten minutes before and still be okay.

Mother: Whenever she felt like she was going into crisis she would want to take her remedy and that definitely gets her back on track. She caught up completely academically in 5th grade after not being able to read in 3rd. Her current teacher says she can’t believe she ever had an ADHD diagnosis. She manages herself completely. I have 100% confidence that she will be super successful in life. She has all the tools she needs to reach her full potential, which is really full.   —P.H. and T.W.

When I moved to Portland eleven years ago I began experiencing terrible seasonal allergies that  made it hard to bike, walk, or be indoors with the windows open. I ran air purifiers, wiped down our household surfaces–even left town for week-long periods to get out of the pollen. I had sneezing fits and a runny hose that lasted day-in-day-out over the course of several months every year. I finally found relief taking a steroid prescribed by my allopathic doctor. After seven years of using the steroid I began worrying about the long term health impacts of the medication. I decided to see Helga, who had helped cure my breastfeeding woes very effectively. However, I’d explored all kinds of “natural” remedies that did not work and, in truth, doubted homeopathy would be able to cure my seemingly immovable allergy problem…

After my consultation, Helga prescribed a remedy. She made me hand over my steroid medication and told me she would give it back if the allergies returned. I felt certain that one dose of a homeopathic remedy would not be effective against my powerful allergies. But I handed over the steroids, she gave me the dose, and I went home. I had no allergy symptoms for months. None! One day I was cleaning our dusty house mid-summer and I started to sneeze. All of my allergy symptoms started up–mild but noticeable. I called Helga and she gave me another dose. It was as effective as taking my steroid – the sneezing and all other symptoms went away quite quickly. I have been free from allergies now for over a year. It’s spring again and I have yet to have a sneezing spell.   —A.C.

During and after both my pregnancies, I suffered from extreme hip and lower back pain. I also suffered greatly from mastitis and continued illnesses after the birth of my first daughter. I tried all kinds of Eastern and Western medicines to help ease my pain and build my immunity. It was not until after the birth of my second child that I found Helga, I was in pain and my first bout of mastitis hit.

I am relieved to say, after homeopathic treatment, my hip and back pain has vanished, I have been mastitis free and I continue to nurse my 14 month old. My immunity is up and I fought off the countless illnesses, including Influenza B, that plagued my family this winter. I believe that I owe my good health to Helga. She is now treating my children. We are all grateful to be in her care.   —T.W.
