Overcoming Work Stress and Chronic Pain Through Holistic Healing and Personal Empowerment

I think, for me, the change was feeling heard - helped me to gain the courage to do the work. Holistic and naturopathic medicine. It's not like someone gives you a pill. They give me a prescription but it's not a pill. It's something that I have to work towards doing, right? It's something that I have to contribute to and sitting with Dr. Lisa I felt the courage to do the work. I don't know how to explain that to anyone other than she let me know that whatever was wrong with me that it was up to me to start to work on the things that I needed to do - changed my life. I assure you it changed my life. My name is Alana Renee I was suffering from a tremendous amount of stress from my work. I was unable to get help from traditional western approaches to medicines and I always loved holistic medicine, natural healing. And so, I sought out Dr. Lewis as an alternative to finding my path back to normal health. I was stressing, I was in pain. My body felt as if it was betraying me. I really needed help. She came across more as a healer than a doctor. What she did was she listened to me before she attempted to address my concerns. She made me feel as if I mattered that what was going on with me was important to her so that she could find her way to help me and she did that. She did that very well. In an environment where women of color - their concerns are not always valued. She made me feel as if my concerns were valid and that as a result of that, whatever she suggested to me I was more than happy to do and those methods, those ways of being, those ways of changing - they improved my lifestyle. I can't give her more praise so I would always recommend her because of that, because of the way that she makes you help yourself and I'm into self help. I love helping myself but in the way that you does it, it makes it easy and you don't feel alone. You don't feel like you're just getting a prescription walking out of a doctor's office and you figure it out. It's like a coaching component to what Dr. Lisa does. And that makes you feel heard and seen and gives me courage.
