what our patients are saying:
Anya was able to pinpoint exactly what my diagnosis was - something that traditional doctors have been brushing off as "just being a tired mom." Not at all! After Anya set off a clear course of action for my treatment, I finally feel like my old self again. And sleep problems that have been bugging me for years are gone thanks to addressing my overall health. I couldn't have been happier with the way I feel.
