TESTIMONIAL June 12, 2018
For some time, our 10 year daughter had been struggling with anxiety and obsessive / compulsive thoughts and behaviors. My wife and I were taking her to a cognitive therapist and we were seeing mixed results. As you can imagine, all we wanted to do was to help our daughter so we continued looking for additional treatment options for her. This is when my wife happened to find a free talk on the benefits of biofeedback therapy at "The Empowering U Center" in Trappe. Following the talk, my wife and I did some additional research of our own and then decided to give the therapy a try. We went in with an open mind and decided from the start that we are committed to ensuring we follow treatment plan.
Our practitioner was Diane Nolan and she could not have been any more helpful. She is a very calming presence and immediately set my daughter and I at ease. Throughout the course of the therapy, she would ask my daughter questions and explain to us what she was doing, why she was doing it, and the benefits we should expect. My wife and I were seeing improvements in our daughter after the first few sessions and our daughter at one point commented to us out of the blue that she "does not feel worried anymore." We continued with the entire series of treatments and could not be happier with the results. Our daughter is a whole new person, or better yet, back to that same, carefree person she was and deserves to be!
I would feel remiss if I did not say that we followed the treatment plan almost to the 'T' and really pushed our daughter at times to ensure we gave this therapy our 100% effort. I highly recommend this approach to any parents who are struggling to find a way to help their child cope with anxiety. Our daughter still has some worries, but they are under control and we are optimistic about the future.

Testimonials from Kathy O
Shea Kennedy the homeopathy practitioner has helped bring my blood pressure down 40 points without medication. Since starting the homeopathic remedy she recommended for me seven months ago, not only did my blood pressure come down, but I have lost ten pounds without dieting or exercise. She has helped many of my family members through several illnesses to recover quickly with homeopathic remedies. Her follow-up is amazing, and her first consultation is free! Everyone should take advantage of her knowledge!
