Demitra helped me build my confidence, self-esteem, and personal empowerment.  I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and divorce where I was verbally abused.  I felt like I couldn’t make a decision or function as I was so beat up.  Demitra was so kind and helpful, helping me realize that I am a whole person and I can take care of myself. 

When Demitra finished coaching me I felt like I had self power and confidence to do whatever I want.  I know I’m okay the way I am.  I now have the courage to join Toastmasters and learn public speaking.  I am very grateful for everything Demitra did with me.

Demitra is a very assertive and effective healer with a strong intention for the personal health of others.  I have experienced her healing several times through clinical hypnotherapy and have attained instant progress through this process to attain my goals of personal growth.

Her techniques are remarkably effective at removing blocks and obstacles that inhibit joy, happiness, and fulfillment.  I would recommend her as a wellness practitioner to anybody who wants to live a fulfilling, abundant life and achieve their personal goals.  I am sincerely grateful for the work we did together.

My name is Jack and I have been a recipient of the Behavioral Therapy techniques used by Demitra gratefully.  This has helped with releasing subconscious blocks which has positively affected my stress level, improved my sleep quality, and increased my overall self-esteem.

Mostly I felt her energy work through her powerful intent to heal and her sincere concern for helping me resolve my problems, even problems I didn’t realize I had when I first began the therapy.  The techniques have been very successful in improving my health and lifestyle, and helping me feel fulfilled.

Being retired and diabetic, I'd picked up a lot of extra weight that was literally endangering my life, and I knew I had to do something about it quickly. The holistic health sessions were relaxing and the plan was simple and easy to follow. Demitra helped me learn about my mind and body, what food was good to fill my stomach, what thoughts and behaviors were good to fill my mind, and what would work against my efforts. I didn't ever deprive myself or completely give up any food I liked. Demitra always told me during sessions that the most important thing was that I ate well for me and my needs, enjoyed every bite of food, and did things during the day that calmed my mind and brought me joy.

Having finished my program, I love to move around more during the day, I'm staying hydrated and eating well, and none of it seems like a chore.  My doctor confirmed I am now back where I want to be as far as weight goes and doing better with my diabetes overall. But it just feels better at age 65 to have more energy, more flexibility, and  find my mind is lot calmer and clearer throughout the day. Those are the best 'side effects' I've experienced from any treatment. 

When my osteoporosis back pain began again, the spasms were shooting down my entire left side to the ankle, my arthritis started on top of it, I laid in bed for 2 days and couldn't get a pain shot appointment with my doctor for 3 more. I called Healthy Living and was able to schedule for the next day, this time for the Acupressure Therapy. Inside one hour I was able to calm down and relax, the spasms hurt less and came fewer and farther in between. The arthritis pain in my wrists left altogether.

Within hours of the session, I was moving around like the last three days had never happened. I took it easy as advised, but I wasn't bedridden. I followed therapeutic advice, stayed gentle with myself, kept moving, used the points she had showed me, and by the next morning I was back to my old self. I'm happy to say that pain shot never had to happen, and now I know exactly where to send my friends when they want to improve their own health. Thanks!

Before the Holistic Health Therapy I was under a lot of stress. My first born was having trouble adjusting in a new environment. We just moved from Massachusetts to California and she no longer has the family that she spent the first 4 years of her life with. And then she was starting school right away with rules and structures she’s not used to. The school staff wasn’t helpful either. They actually made things worse. Then there was me trying to balance work and family and straighten our finances. For some reason, even though our finances on paper would in most eyes be considered to be very good, I just couldn’t get over the fact that we were still living under someone else's roof. 

I didn’t really feel comfortable at all. I began drinking 5 nights out of the week. I wrote everything out on paper just to reassure myself everything was alright. No matter what the numbers said, I still had anxiety about things. I could not see a clear picture of a better day. I mean the picture of a better day flashed, and then was followed by a bunch of ‘what if things go wrong’. Then a couple of days after Christmas, our business delivery trailer got stolen. We had important documents in it, and it was a higher level of stress from then on. That same day, I began to receive Behavioral Therapy with Healthy Living.

Right away I was relaxed. But I was still holding on to some anxiety. But she did the therapy with me and gave me some instructions on how to take care of myself at home between sessions. Within weeks, I was not fogged. The nightly drinking stopped and the anxiety was completely gone. I started to be more confident with the numbers on my paper and everything else. I was finally able to move on about the tragic business loss that happened in late December. I didn’t focus on ‘what if my numbers were lying to me’ (numbers never lie, unless it’s the person that’s manipulating them). Situations are not perfect now, because shortly after completing my therapy program my husband lost his job. We had to dig into savings to pay for our expenses, almost depleting it. Demitra told me that if anything came up after therapy, if I had a question, wanted something clarified, had some sudden stress- anything, that I could call her and she would help me. But it worked so well I didn’t need to.

Instead of stressing or drinking as I would have before the therapy, I was able to stay strong and focused. We returned to re-evaluating our finances and rewriting the numbers. Now 4 months later I am still stress free! I’m still living under someone else's roof, my child still has behavioral problems, and my husband still doesn’t have a "job". But our finances are in line, I’m dealing with life’s little bumps in a more healthy way now, and I’m able to take time for me and not let myself get overwhelmed. The stage is set for a really good future ahead of us. I do see the better days now. Thank you so much Demitra!
