Ivan's work made me think about my first bodywork, at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur 40 years ago. I have since been blessed by some wonderful experiences, but after my recent session with Ivan I never felt better. I walked out in a haze of well-being. He is a talented and gifted practitioner of his art. Forgive me for being pushy, but: don't think twice -- make an appointment. Reducing your stress is not a luxury.  David Lander, M.D., Floyd, VA


When I first made my appointment with Lynise, I was very excited to get started on a program that would improve my health. I had acid reflux, digestive problems, arthritis in some of my joints. I knew I wasn't eating right, nor was I sleeping well. I'm so pleased that after just a couple of months of working with Lynise and Ivan I am able to say "Thank you God for sending them to our community". Healing here is so swift. Now, I sleep 8 or 9 hours each night, I have no acid reflux, no digestive problems and my arthritis is almost un-noticeable. Through the Metabolic Typing Nutrition Program, I found out what the right foods for me are. It's great not to have to count calories or weigh food. I would recommend it to anyone. Ivan is so gifted through his training of Shiatsu. You can really feel the energy circulating through you. I could go on and on about the changes I'm experiencing, but GO! Find out for yourself! You will be glad you did. C.W., Floyd, VA


The Lyme Disease was my most immediate concern and that is completely gone. I am 65 years old and now have the energy that I experienced in my 20's. My mind feels more clear and focused - not the usual fogginess that I was experiencing with post-menopause. This, in turn, creates a more positive attitude to life. The profound grief that I had experienced for the past seven years over the loss of my son has been transformed into complete acceptance and closure. I have also lost my craving for sweets and am beginning to lose weight. I have complete confidence in Ivan's work. C.D., Floyd, VA


I came to the Healing Tree because I was tired all the time and wasn't sleeping at night. By changing the way I eat and the things I eat, the tiredness and not sleeping is gone. The people here are very caring and really want to help you. I would recommend you trying the Healing Tree. You have nothing to lose except getting health. In today's time, we need to work on preventative measures for our health. C.K., Christiansburg, VA


Your dedication to get to heart of the problem appeals very much to me.  M.P., Charlotte, NC


I'm back to work and doing GREAT! Much thanks to you! I can't express enough how much I appreciate your help with 'learning my body.' I can't tell you how many times I went to the family doctor with questions and they say "with some people it affects....."  I really like knowing what is going on with ME!  So, thank you so very much, and I can't wait to finish up with this remedy to learn even more!

I sufferred with menstrual pain for over 10 years. I had pain 5 days before and five days during my menstrual cycle. The pain was so intense that I had to drop out of school while studiying to become an RN. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and was told that I needed a hysterectomy. A friend referred me to Ivan. 9 months later I was pain free! I told Ivan that my periods are so good, I wish he could now slow them down-lol. Thank you for the work that you do!  A.C., Philadelphia, PA

My Shiatsu session with Ivan has resolved a variety of problems including sciatica, tension & stress. I feel strengthened both physically and emotionally. I'm finally pain free! Heather Garcia, RN, Floyd, VA


I'm doing really well following the eating protocol you designed for me.  I've already lost 11lbs since I saw you!  L.T., VA


The eating change has been really, really good for me. Overall, so much more consistently good energy.  Without trying I have shed 20 some odd lbs. I would say my chronic pain is less, and certainly my inflammatory syndrome is almost nil.  R.W., Floyd, VA


I feel great. I am going to continue to take your advice. My pain is gone. I am eating better. My fungus is clearing up. I know what you do works. K.O., Darby, PA


Thank you for being there for me. My feelings of anger are gone. I am more productive and I feel free. Your shiatsu has given me a sense of inner balance. I do not know how you make your remedies, but they have helped me and my family get through some tough times. Thank you again. God Bless You. S.S., Philadelphia, PA


Thank you for getting me on the right track. You referred me to a Chiropractor that helped me when all other MDs, acupuncturists and physical therapist told me that I had a rare muscle disease and that they could not help me. Now I come to you to keep my back straight and to help me maintain my overall health. Your remedy for my stomach pain was a Godsend. Thank you. Keep up the good work. A.G., Petersburg, VA


Wow. My hot flashes went from 1 every couple of hours to less than one a week. I hardly notice them now. Thank you for the needed relief. S.H.R., Philadelphia, PA


I don't know how you do it, but my gout pain is gone. A.G., Pt. St. Lucie, FL


I did not know that I had to play a role in my own healing. Now I know how to make better choices in food selection and eating. You make remedies that help me along my journey. My back hurts less and less often. My skin is clearing up. Oh yeah, and my knees don't hurt as much. Keep doing what you are doing! T.A., Baltimore, MD


I don't worry what diagnosis that the doctor gives me. They can't help the root cause. You can! God Bless You! V.C., Baltimore, MD


My wife and I wanted to conceive a child for some time, however, doctors informed us that her fallopian tubes were blocked. After an HSG (“dye test”) to determine the functionality of the tubes, we were told that In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) was our best option. Several doctors collaborated and determined that any pregnancy would likely be an ectopic pregnancy.  After consulting with the Wellness Center, We jumped on board with the Yeast Elimination Diet and other holistic remedies in an effort to improve our overall health. Immediately, we noticed increased energy, reduced bloating and gastric issues, and we felt wonderful. Additionally, in less than a year, we received the most exciting news—my wife was pregnant AND everything was in its proper place! Our thanks to God and to the Wellness Center!  W & C. P, Jacksonville, FL


It has been a little over 2 years since I first started having problems with my sleep.  But since I left your office, I have been sleeping like a baby. Finally, I am totally loving life!  I am grateful to you for your help and accuracy in assessing my imbalances. Now that I feel like I have someone who can correctly understand what's going on with me, I really want to address all the things I have struggled with the past couple of years.  C.W., Baltimore, MD
