What was it like before you came in to see us?
Before I came to see you, I would wake with headaches constantly. My mood swings were big and my cycle was a surefire indication of hormones raging and moodiness. I was also having trouble with my eating habits, particularly with sweets. I had a poor self image as well.
How is it now?
My self image has greatly improved. I don’t even know when I am going to get my period and my husband has even mentioned that my demeanor has changed! I RARELY wake with a headache (next to never) and I am ready for the day. After doing the purification program I was able to lose some weight and begin the process of using that knowledge base to continue to improve my health on my own. Heck, I am even now walking a couple times a week because I feel great! This experience has allowed me to be in tune with what my body is telling me instead of masking the symptoms. The biggest impact was the experience I had wearing 100% copper and having a severe reaction. If I had not done this program, I would have highly considered a copper IUD and may have put myself in a position of being ill without knowing the cause!

What was it like before you came in to see us?
Before I came to Holistic Healing and Nutrition I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had two large cysts removed from each of my ovaries. I was told by my OBGYN that the only way to keep the endo “at bay” was to take a combination of hormone medicines including birth control. At the time I was also suffering from extremely painful periods and hormone imbalance, including depression and severe anxiety.
How is it now?
Since HH&N I have felt alert and focused, energetic and overall healthy. My anxiety and depression have minimized to the point of nothing and my hormones are balanced, I have experienced decreased pain and sickness during menstruation which I have not felt in a very long time. I am glad I made the decision to venture into holistic health, it has truly benefited me more more way than I expected!

What was it like before you came in to see us?
Before Holistic Healing, I was feeling very unhealthy – lethargic for a long time with constant headaches. Often I’d wake up with an achy body. I was also gaining weight. In January I was introduced to Holistic Healing & Nutrition and we began my NRT program.
How is it now?
It has been about 10 weeks and all I can say is “WOW”! I feel fantastic! After being under their care for a short time my headaches are completely gone! I sleep well now and have NO body aches. My energy is back and the only way to describe how I feel is strong and healthy. A nice side benefit is that I’ve also lost over 12 lbs. They are extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I’m looking forward to learning more about taking care of my body under their care.

What was it like before you came in to see us?
I had a low amount of energy and wasn’t eating properly. I work from home and I wasn’t really taking the time to have a balanced healthy meal (I mostly snacked). I also had high anxiety and stress.
How is it now?
After doing the program and taking my whole food supplements, my energy level has improved immensely. They have also provided me with recipes that are healthy and nutritious and easy to make. I’m still working on maintaining normal anxiety and stress levels but I am confident I will reach my goal!

What was it like before you came in to see us?
I was an absolute MESS! I had such bad anxiety along with feeling very sad. I suffered with dizziness and ringing in my ears. If that wasn’t enough, I also had rashes that would just appear all over my body.
How is it now?
I feel AMAZING! My anxiety, depression and feelings of sadness are completely gone. The dizziness (vertigo) is completely gone. My rashes are 95% improved. I still have a slight ringing in my ear but much improved. I can’t thank you enough HH&N for everything you have done for me. I feel so blessed that you have come into my life and have brought me back from some very unhealthy, sad, dark days. I am loving life, laughing and appreciating every moment with my new healthy, functioning body!

What was it like before you came in to see us?
Always tired, restless sleep, bloating after meals. Upset stomach after all meals. In general, always felt tired and sick to my stomach.
How is it now?
I feel like a new person. All things mentioned no longer exist, except when I eat/drink something I know I shouldn’t. I have changed my habits and eating selections and combined with supplements, I feel fantastic. My next goal to conquer is finding time, making time, to exercise and count my carbs. Since I feel great, I want to take the next step and try to lose weight. This time I will do it right so it stays off! No diet needed. I just follow clean, healthy eating and organic whole food supplements!

What was it like before you came in to see us?
I was exhausted. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. I felt like I was cursed to live as a prisoner in my own body. I was overweight and childless and diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. I had worked for 2 years to try to lose weight to get my cycle to normal but the most weight I ever managed to lose was 3 lbs. I was depressed, I cried when I went to see my GYN so she sent me to my primary and I started to take ambien, xanax and welbutrin added to my PCOS medication of metformin and my BC. With all that medication, I could at least function well enough to make it to work most days, but I still felt hopeless and heavy, and like my whole life would pass by and I wouldn’t get to be a part of it.
How is it now?
They told me the process would be slow, but they were wrong. I started to feel better within 2 weeks of cutting oats, rice, wheat and soy (which I tested poorly to). During week 2, I went through some wheat/yeast die off symptoms, but since then it’s all been uphill. In 8 weeks, I lost 20 lbs, which was just a bonus. The real wonder came when I stopped taking my birth control and my period came right on time. I don’t take any mental health medication anymore because I am not depressed or crippled by anxiety. Instead, it feels like sunlight and energy are radiating through my body. I still have a journey to take when it comes to weight loss and pregnancy, but I feel better on zero rx meds than I ever did with them. In fact, I’m pretty sure anything is possible.

Dr. Miranda Kennedy
Since going to Dr. Kennedy I seem to be holding my adjustments longer, no constant middle or low back pain and I’m more flexible. Myself and two kids ages 12 and 14 go weekly. And for over a year now not one of us has had a cold or the flu and I believe it’s because of the consistent adjustments. My son is focusing much better in school and my daughter’s cervical neck issue is on the mend. I feel relaxed, no bright lights blaring at you, no long wait like traditional chiropractic offices where you’re waiting your turn on a table as they move from room to room treating several people at the same time which takes forever. Their personal attention is on you and only you when you walk into their treatment room. Their office is always running on time, welcoming you and they make you feel your part of their family.

I have suffered from migraine headaches since I was a child. When it became obvious that all the medical doctors could do for me was prescribe more meds (with more side effects), I got anxious. I began to think that my life might be defined by the pain and missed events. That made me very sad. I found Dr. Kennedy and saw results immediately. She uses a form of cranial sacral release therapy that is a very gentle and non-invasive form of massage that works with the cranial bones, the spinal column and the sacrum to balance energy as well as the flow of cranial sacral fluid. It is often used to treat headaches, restlessness, insomnia pressure and ear aches, cranial sacral therapy is so gentle it can even be used on infants and the elderly. As a Reiki Master it is very important for me that my energy flows. Prior to treatment I was experiencing cranial pressure and or migraines and began coming to Dr. Miranda Kennedy weekly at first but now only see her every two weeks. I do not have cranial pressure or migraines nearly as often and feel in control of my life again. Now that my body is more ‘in tune’ I know exactly when I need to come in and when things are out of whack. I cannot thank her enough! I would encourage anyone going through this to make the financial and time commitment to see Dr. Kennedy regularly. Please keep up all the good work and know that you are truly touching lives and changing them for the good!

Dear Dr. Kennedy,
Thank you so much for the excellent chiropractic care you have provided me with over the past fewmonths. From regular maintenance visits, to coming in on your day off to help me when I was in distress, your service, knowledge and care go above and beyond what I had been familiar with prior to meeting you. I truly appreciate the sincere care and concern you show me.

Dr. K.,
Once again, thank you so much for the relief you provide me with – both mentally and physically. I walked out of your office yesterday morning feeling better than I have in several weeks. Please feel free to share my emails with prospective patients and know that I am happy to discuss with them the tremendous benefit I receive from the chiropractic care you provide. I have been to several other chiropractors over the years and none have provided the combination of mental and physical relief you do through your chiropractic technique.

Standard Process Purification Program
It’s my last day of the cleanse and I just wanted to write to you to tell you how it went. I feel great and energized! To be honest, at the beginning, when I was just eating the fruits and veggies, I was eating mostly raw food, which I found gave me too much energy! If I didn’t exercise, I had trouble sleeping.
There were a lot of things that I thought I would crave, like bread and pasta, but I haven’t at all, which was a pleasant surprise. I also find that I never have that sluggish feeling that I used to get after I ate, which has allowed me to be more productive during the day.
The best part of the cleanse for me has also been the most shocking. I’ve had a ganglion cyst on my wrist for a very long time. For years, I could smash it and it would go away for long stretches of time, but I could still always feel a small core that I couldn’t get rid of. Just before I started the cleanse, the cyst had become huge and painful, and I couldn’t seem to get rid of it. I was thinking about having it surgically removed. And now…it’s gone! Including the core! It’s as if I never had it. I cannot tell you how amazing it is not not have pain in my wrist after living with it for so long.
Thank you for introducing me to this cleanse and for the extra support handout to make the program easier.

After my first week of the purification diet, I was down 5 lbs and felt great. My energy level was steady throughout the day and I didn’t get that mid-afternoon crash or coffee craving that I was getting almost daily. I’ve slept better and have woken up feeling more indefatigable that I have in a long time. After three weeks of being on the program, I have resolved to keep my healthy way of living and enjoy my new found energy. I would certainly recommend the purification cleanse to anyone looking to increase their energy level, lose excess weight and feel great!
