I won't post my reasons here because they're private. If you are seroiusly considering using her, PM me and I may share the details.

Wow... I recommend her as she's one of my kitty clients but have never used her as a holistic counselor.... interesting

Ugh, those graduates of the Holistic Health Counseling programme are just everywhere, like roaches..... And they're all basically useless too...

having received holistic health counseling -- i need to strongly state that an HHC is no substitute for a qualified licensed psychotherapist/analyst.

if you suffer from anorexia/bulimia, etc... please don't think of HHC's as a substitute for traditional medicine,
in conjunction with, yes but not as a substitute for these issues

something to keep in mind, although it might not be the case, is whether you could have picked up an intestinal bug of some kind. by all means, go to the nutritionist, but keep it in mind.

i speak from experience. when the gf got giardia (from drinking tap water in the US, thank you very much, despite time spent in rural China), she was sick for months and no one could figure out why. at first it seemed stress-related, then maybe IBS or food allergy or celiac disease.... She had lots of tests and stopped eating practically everything (it was down to unseasoned baked fish and unseasoned boiled rice at our house. yuck) and was still sick.

she'd been tested for all kinds of things, INCLUDING GIARDIA, but it turns out that that test is notoriously difficult to get a positive result on, so a negative doesn't mean as much as you'd like to think. people were at the point of telling her she'd just always feel this way. and since sometimes were worse than others (another famous quality of giardia), some people acted like she was bringing it on herself or not really sick or god knows what.

when she finally saw a different doctor, he said "what do you mean you've been sick for months and no one's tried an antibiotic?" one 10-day course of metronidazole, and everything was better.

sorry for the soapbox -- maybe this isn't your problem -- but it really burns me when doctors [i certainly don't mean all doctors do this -- my doctor parents, for instance, kept saying "are you SURE you don't have giardia?"] act like it's your fault you're sick and don't try everything.

Not sure what the original question even means but have you looked into gall bladder disease? I had food problems..constant indigestion, nausea... for a long time then eventually excruciating pain. What I thought was kidney stones my husband figured out was gall stones. My pain wasn't consistent with gall bladder stones so at first the doctor thought I had back/muscle spasms. After lots or tests and horrid pain I finally had my gall bladder removed along with two very large stones and I feel 100% better today. Just a thought.
