Success Stories

{Working with Connie, I acquired the tools that help me to realign my thinking and focus, away from over-thinking certain situations, helping to calm my mind and redirect my focus in a more positive direction.  Connie has a kind and caring way about her while being encouraging and supportive.

{My time spent with Connie was both informative and essential, and I wish I could have started with her sooner on my journey to holistic health. Her practical techniques helped me immensely in my everyday life dealing with feelings of stress and overwhelm. These techniques also helped me reframe my body to work through EMF struggles I had for years. Her expertise and techniques that she shares are beneficial for everyone and can be integrated into daily life and easily become part of your routine. Through visualizing, disrupting, disconnecting, and distracting oneself, my nervous system was able to become less reactive to everyday stressors I faced. Through my work with Connie, I noticed my sleep has improved, I have less headaches and fatigue, and I also am able to work through stressful events in a calmer state. With just starting my first year as an elementary teacher, I was nervous about being constantly overwhelmed with the high demands of the job. However, through this experience I have noticed I have more control over my emotional state and have had less feelings of shutting down due to being overwhelmed. I have even taught my students some of the mind distraction techniques Connie has shared with me. They use these when their emotions become unregulated, and it helps them to reset their feelings. I am so grateful for my time spent with Connie and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if a new problem came to light. If you are feeling like you are having health related struggles that are impacting your everyday life, working with Connie would be valuable to you and an experience to better your health overall.

{Mindful Pathways helped Me!  The coaching I received from Connie helped me with a difficult time in my life of uncertainty and stress. I had negative self talk and would often have issues with digestion. Brain retraining helped me reframe the circumstances in my life with more clarity and positivity. My stomach is now calm, I have better self esteem and am more positive about my future. I am glad I chose to deal with my stress before it affected me in a more negative way.

{Getting my life back! After a year of going from doctor to doctor, test after test, and given the “blanket” diagnosis of IBS, I felt without hope. There was so little information out there and thought this was my new way of life.. until I talked with Connie! Just knowing that someone else had struggled with the same thing was comforting in itself. I felt heard and understood but more importantly learned so much!! (She addressed the physical, mental AND spiritual side of things, which makes sense because that’s how we’re wired!) Learning to identify old unhealthy thought patterns and using the tools she has given me, has renewed my hope that old thought patterns CAN be changed and I do have more control than I was led to believe. My stomach has finally begun to heal. Thank you Connie for your kind, gentle and patient spirit!

{People are telling their friends about this program because it really works! It's also fun to teach, fun to be a part of, and the changes are so profound that no one wants it to end.

{We had great conversations and they really enjoyed the Habit Building activity. Everyone left feeling excited and we’re all looking forward to next week!

{I have been working with Brianna since May and I am so glad I reached out. I have a life history of trying everything in the book to manage my weight and inflammation. I have done some great programs but none of them fit me, our bodies are not one size fits all. I am pretty knowledgeable about nutrition and gut health, but my issues go beyond my knowledge base. Brianna has been able to begin to customize my detox-recovery plan to fix my gut health issues and get me on the right track for life-long wellness. I trust her completely and love her holistic and natural approach. I am making changes that will help me live a happier and healthier life. I highly recommend Brianna.

{I lost a significant amount of weight but still didn’t feel well. I felt stronger and thinner but did not feel my inside health matched my outsides. Meeting with Brianna and working on a plan to focus on my digestion and hormone imbalances has stopped my cravings and hormone spikes, stabilized my mood and emotions all while continuing to lose weight. I now have a healthy relationship with food, no longer thinking about it all the time. I feel more in control of my life and my body. When you think about self-care, invest in working with Brianna who will guide you through your goals that are challenging but totally achievable. Working with Brianna has been the best investment I have made in years and I couldn’t be happier.

{

I experienced significant digestional distress for over 5 years...abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, hot flashes almost every time I ate, and a list of foods that I could no longer tolerate that seemingly grew every day! Doctor after doctor would tell me I was fine but would try to prescribe some sort of medication to help with my symptoms. I was frustrated with this care, but I just didn’t know what else to do.

Beginning to work with Bri completely turned my life around! Finally someone believed me that I was experiencing digestive issues and, in fact, could empathize with me because she had once been where I was! Bri has educated me about my body and food, has been a source of consistent encouragement and support for me throughout my long journey to recovery, has been ready and available to answer all of my questions, and has become a sweet friend who I trust.

The life change that has come for me through working with Bri has been invaluable, and I now feel empowered to advocate and care for my body for the rest of my life!

{Finding Bri was a game changer for me.  I can't say enough about how I felt at the beginning of this journey vs how I feel today.  My energy levels are up, my brain fog is gone and I have no joint pain.  Eating the way I do is a lifestyle change that I would never again move away from! Thank you Bri!

{A friend initially suggested that I try FLOWpresso.  It started as a way to relax and has now turned into a non-negotiable part of my own self care. In a hectic and often overwhelming world, the treatment time allows my body and mind to rest and heal.  I feel more energized for the rest of the week.  It has improved my sleep and allows me to better manage my stress and anxiety. I love knowing I’m doing something great for my body.  I recommend others to try this treatment!

{FLOWpresso is an amazing benefit to come into my life. It helps in aiding my sleep by letting me sleep peacefully throughout the night. I found that my circulation in both my hands and my feet improved immensely. It is an extremely relaxing hour that gives my body rest and the ability to reset for stressors that lie ahead, I would highly recommend!

{I struggle to find a peaceful and sharp mind in my day to day life.  Not any more.  The time I spend in the infrared sauna magnifies the amount of time that I have to do the overwhelming "everything" else because I am more clear minded, more relaxed, and smarter (or so it seems).  And my body physically feels good from head to toe.  It's the best time I could ever spend on me, and for that my family and I say thank you!

{I have chronic sinus trouble and I find regular use helps clear my congestion.  I find myself drawn to use the sauna because I feel so FANTASTIC afterwards.   It’s something that I will always prioritize time for.

{I am a 21 year old male and I use the infrared saunas 3-4x a week. Not only did the infrared sauna help open my detox pathways and improve my success with detoxification, but also drove me into a deep parasympathetic state.   It is extremely relaxing and you are warmed up from the inside out without the massive sweats (or electrolyte loss) that come from traditional saunas. I can highly recommend using the infrared saunas as they have been amazing for me on my healing journey.

{I am so grateful to have experienced the personal infrared sauna offered by At Home With Wellness. The peaceful and beautiful space creates a perfectly serene environment to experience the warm natural cedar sauna and it really allowed my tension to melt away.  Best of all, I know it was gently healing my body at the same time.  I have enjoyed both a session on my own to recharge and gift myself some self-care as well as booked a session with my husband as a relaxing way to spend time together.  Healing never felt so good or easy!

{I find that spending time in the infrared sauna is a really a glorious hour for myself.     I have a skin condition which prevents me being able to soak up sun.   I also like to seek out natural supports for my anxiety and depression.  So, I am extra grateful to get to feel the warmth of the sun AND the stress relief when I am in the sauna. I can strongly recommend making it part of one’s weekly routine.

{Before I first used the Infrared Sauna, it had been 9 weeks post-previous injection for pain management, and I should have had the injections at the 8 week mark. I was living in PA at the time.  I traveled to Rochester(6 hour drive) as  I had scheduled to work as a favor for a previous client. I was very worried about how I was going to manage this trip due to my pain.  I had arrived at a friend's house and she immediately asked if I was ok and did I need to lay down, which I did because I was in so much pain. The next day, I was able to sit in the personal infrared sauna for about an hour in the evening. The following morning, when my alarm went off I WOKE UP. I was awake, not groggy or still sleepy.  As I got out of bed I could actually move.  I was able to go about my day, working with two little children for about 9 hours, and I got back and was able to make dinner and visit with my friends. My pain was around 5/10, and manageable, instead of 9/10. I have never had anything work that QUICKLY or systemically on my pain levels.  This surprised me as I have been getting pain treatments for over seven years at this point.    I went back and spent about an hour/day in the sauna for the next 4 days, and was able to get through my work and visit my friends and family feeling BETTER than I had in weeks. Interestingly, I tried two other saunas local to me when I returned to PA and neither helped me like the personal infrared sauna did.

{I came from a busy and stressful day at the office and used the sauna. The whole experience was fabulous. I felt wonderful and my headache went away.  I wasn’t expecting that.   Feeling the soothing heat and reading more about the health-giving benefits inspired me to purchase a sauna for home use so I could use it every day. Thank you and bless you for this healing opportunity.

{

I didn't realize what an impact the At Home With Wellness personal infrared sauna would have on my health and wellbeing.

It brought me the wonderful benefit of effortlessly engaging my parasympathetic nervous system which not only brought me deeper and better sleep but boosted my immune system. After 3 months of struggling with a major illness and its effects on my health and body, I started using the sauna in the hopes it would help me get back on my feet. I was amazed at how it soothed my body and I truly feel without a doubt, it was the catalyst I needed to get over my illness. You don't have to be ill to reap its benefits or need it for any specific reason - it's your chance to enter a peace filled, comforting and soothing time. You're going to love it. Thank you, At Home With Wellness, for providing and bringing this irreplaceable service to all of us.

{I used the infrared sauna during a period where I was trying to make some great positive strides in my health, and the sauna was incalculably helpful in doing so. It was an energizing and invigorating way to get healthy. The heat is refreshing, the environment is relaxing, and the price is more than fair for what you’re getting!

{I have been using the infrared sauna for several months now.  Not only is the atmosphere beautiful, but it is relaxing and meditative. I have enjoyed the benefits of using this wonderful healing modality to the point of purchasing one for my home for my entire family to benefit from! I highly recommend regular use of this amazing personal infrared sauna.

{Self care at its best! Sitting in the infrared sauna does wonders for the mind and the body. A true gift …

{I have loved my FLOWpresso sessions.  I always leave feeling calm and relaxed.  I recommend anyone thinking about going to At Home for a session to give it a try.  You won't be sorry.

{My experience with the FLOWpresso was very positive.  It feels like getting a gentle massage for an hour, during which I slept every time. I felt that it was helping to move my lymph, and the evidence was in the improvement in the swelling of my hands, and ankles. I highly recommend it.

{For the past several months, I’ve been struggling with a stubborn case of lymphatic stagnation, the feeling that most of my neck, chest, upper arms, front & back ribs, and abdomen were suddenly covered in a thick layer of fat.  I had uni-boob, no armpits, bat-winged arms, thick neck (no chin), and a belly that looked oddly distended. Once I realized that these maladies were lymph-related, I began diligently self-treating with massage, manual lymph pumping, dry brushing, mini-trampolining, and herbal supplements designed to increase lymphatic flow.  My efforts yielded a degree of success, but then began to plateau. I had became aware of the work of Kelly Kennedy and Desiree De Spong, and of the promising new tool, FLOWpresso, but the logistics of making it to Kelly’s Philadelphia-area office just wasn’t going to happen.  Then, I learned of a FLOWpresso right here in the Rochester area, and immediately made an appointment. All I can say is, wow.  After the first session, I already started losing volume around the torso, my neck was noticeably getting back to its usual thinness, and I felt the full functionality of my muscles returning.  (As a former ballet dancer, this is especially important to me.)  I am grateful to have found a gentle, non-invasive, yet effective, solution to an issue that was so adversely impacting my day-to-day life. Thank you for bringing the FLOWpresso to Rochester, and for creating such a warm & healing experience.

{I found the benefits for me to be improved sleep and improved thermography results where the radiologist commented that I had noticeably improved lymphatic patterns.

{This wonderful FLOWpresso therapy has provided me with something I never thought I could experience...complete and total relaxation, mentally as well as physically.  It gives me a sense of peace and tranquility, which is certainly important in this crazy, stressful world.

{Flowpresso can help this wound - tight girl unwind! I know the health benefits for the body are great, but it sure benefits my mind!

{I am just part way through my Allergy Release Technique process and I was excited to notice a few big positives for me.  We recently attended the popular, living Christmas nativity in Cohocton, NY.  Due to COVID, we attended this from our cars and we were part of a LONG line of idling and slow driving cars.  In the past, this car exhaust would have given me an immediate headache, but not now.  I realized it later that I never reacted to this. And, another pleasant surprise was to see that I didn’t have my normal response to my horse allergy.  I had a patient come in for a treatment and this patient had just come from horseback riding lessons.  In the past, I would have experienced sneezing and itchy eyes, but now I noticed that I had only the slightest sinus congestion. So many positive changes are happening and I'm excited for more to come! I'm so grateful for Laura and the Allergy Release Technique process.

{We are making progress when nothing else was working.  My 6 year was only eating two foods - blueberries and bananas, for the past several months.  I am so grateful that in this short period of time  he is now eating 2.5 cups of meat stock/broth, some sheep yogurt and some sauerkraut juice each day…. In addition to some blueberries and bananas.

{I just wanted to tell you that I am now mowing my own lawn for the first time in 14 years.  I now have the stamina to do this.  Thank you.  Thank you.

{I am amazed at what these nutritional therapy changes have meant for me.  I feel that my immune system is 100 times better and I am having my best brain function ever!   I have not been sick …. Surprisingly as I have been getting little sleep due to excessive work hours.  I also wanted to share another change that I noticed.  I didn’t get any jetlag on my recent transatlantic trip.  In the past, I would have been thrown off for a few weeks.  I can’t believe what I have seen and am pretty amazed.  Thank you for your experienced guidance here!

{Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to this new way of eating.  The foods I am eating really satiate me and give me pleasure and are helping to keep me from falling back to my addictive past. (previously battled hard with drug and alcohol addiction)

{My 17 year old daughter had been eating just cashews and applesauce for 3 months.  Thank you for helping us make progress here when we didn’t know where to turn to for help.  In the matter of a few months, she is now eating meat stock/broth, chicken, carrots, zucchini, avocado, duck eggs, sheep yogurt, sheep cottage cheese, sauerkraut juice, chia seeds, pears, peas, blueberries and more.    Your guidance was patient, thoughtful, resourceful and personalized to our very unique and delicate situation.

{Two years ago, my Tourette’s syndrome saw to it that I was in constant motion, grinding my teeth, clearing my throat, and contorting my body. However, my tics weren’t quite as annoying as my digestive problems: I suffered sporadically from gas, diarrhea, bloating, and burping; if I didn’t eat regularly I felt shaky and irritable; and on top of all that I was a fairly picky eater, too! I couldn’t figure out what was causing my problems, and I was miserable. The specialists I saw over the course of about ten years did little to help me. For instance, the doctor who diagnosed my tics as Tourette’s told me that medication was the only possible source of help. The prescription he gave me, however, was a powerful muscle relaxant that caused severe drowsiness. As for my digestive issues, I never got a clear diagnosis of any condition, not even a vague title like Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Leaky Gut Syndrome. Although I knew that everything I’d tried had failed, I never dreamed that food held the key to relief. After a chance meeting with a friend, who raved about how much the GAPS gut balancing dietary protocol was doing for her health, my family began researching how this balanced, whole-foods protocol had healed so many people. A few weeks later, I—the avowed chocolate lover, who once treated “health food” condescendingly—found myself beginning the GAPS nutritional protocol. I knew it was going to be hard. Results weren’t immediate, but slowly, ever so slowly, things started to change. My tics receded. My digestion grew more regular, I didn’t feel so bloated so often, and I just felt better. And something else was happening: in spite of myself, my whole attitude towards food was changing. Not only was I starting to see food as a powerful tool for the protection and preservation of health, but I realized that I actually enjoyed my new diet far more than my old one. Today, two years after my GAPS journey began, I’m probably 98% better than I was. My tics act up sometimes, but they’re only a shadow of what they were. I know my body better now, too, and I know the foods I can and can’t eat. I’ve even begun to celebrate the reintroduction of foods like potatoes and Einkorn sourdough bread. I never thought I’d be passionate about healthy eating, but now that I know how food impacts the body, how could I not be passionate about it? I am so grateful for Laura’s coaching and guidance to lead me on this path of healing.  Her belief in my healing journey was an  important piece to my success!

{I wanted to share with you that I am pregnant with my third child and my morning sickness is “literally nothing” and I have not needed to hire someone to help me around the house.  In my prior pregnancies, I was getting sick 10+ times a day!  I am so grateful.  Thank you for your help with my gut health.

{I can tell that I’m feeling better and a huge surprise is that I no longer crave,  and I do mean CRAVE, sweets. That was a huge challenge for me. Not sure which supplements contributed most to that, but a huge obstacle that is now manageable!!!!

{I wanted to share an incredible story with you...My mom had a life threatening brain tumor 4.5 years ago. A few days after surgery they did a MRI to make sure the swelling was going down and they noticed that she had multiple tumors and had accidentally missed one because the main tumor was so massive and there was so much swelling they couldn’t see it during the operation. They decided to leave it there so she didn’t have to be opened up again and since it’s benign to monitor it yearly. Every year for 4 years she has had a MRI and they tell her it’s still there but not growing. May 2019 - She just left her neurosurgeons office after her routine MRI today and he has no explanation but the tumor is completely GONE! GONE! Obviously God gets all the glory for performing a miracle. But I also believe that drastically changing the way my mother lives and using food as medicine (since fall 2018) has helped shrink and cure this benign tumor. Thank YOU for your dedication to healing and your wisdom and knowledge.   You are helping people even beyond what you realize! I am grateful that I was able to pass on some of your wisdom and it’s completely changing the course of my mother's life.

{About five years ago, I first came upon Laura's name when I was researching "alternative food" information in Rochester. I joined an email list for Weston A. Price, and when Laura put out an email about a GAPS Digestive Health support group, I was interested. I had read several books and reports about the neuroscience behind the GAPS Digestive Health protocol and had already started implementing more food changes. My impairment from disabilities I had been diagnosed with for years was increasing.  I already had trouble maintaining work.  I had reached a point in my physical health where my doctors didn't know what else we could do. I was on ever-increasing doses of pain medication, and other prescriptions to deal with the side effects of the pain medications.  I was receiving injections in addition to a dose of NSAIDs that the doctors refused to increase further, but had already started causing liver and kidney problems. I started having anaphylactic reactions to NOTHING.  All of the doctors concluded that I was on too many medications, and my body didn't know what to do. One doctor had given me the advice to stop drinking my sugar. No juice. I also started tracking my food with an app, and discovered I needed far more protein and fat. Food had made the only difference we'd seen in years, so when I got Laura's email about a GAPS support group I was ready for more support. After a few months of GAPS Support Group meetings, Laura offered a sugar detox class called RESTART. This class, combined with the GAPS principles to restore the gut microbiome balance and address intestinal permeability, made the very first dent in my pain medication levels, EVER!  After 4 years of looking for a way to decrease the medications, I was able to decrease the dosage of two of my medications. So I took the sugar detox class a second time. And was able to completely stop all of my allergy medications that I had been using for over 25 years!  I had been on double doses of several antihistamines, as well as regular doses of two others, and 5 days into addressing another inflammatory food,  I woke up and didn't need to take any of them. Over the last several years there have only been two instances where I have flared badly enough that I needed to take the allergy medicine again.  This is amazing after using allergy meds daily for over 25 years. My goal when I started the sugar detox with Laura the first time was to find some way to decrease my dependence on medications to function. My issues are not just pain, but the side effects of the pain medications were unlivable.   I am happy to share that I have been able to reduce my prescription medications from 14 down to just 3.  My doctors oversaw the decreases and elimination of these prescription medicines.  All of this was done with Laura’s support with nutritional therapy – real food and select supplements. I still have the goal of being able to come off  of the primary medication.   I am confident I will get there!

{Having consulted numerous specialists around the country for a few decades for my stomach pain with no results, I was ready to give up in total frustration. Then, I found Laura.  Interestingly, she was just 10 miles away!   Finally, I got some answers.  Through Laura’s coaching and guidance with detailed gut microbiome dietary and nutrition support, I was able to finally feel much better and eat more foods.   In fact, within a year of working with Laura, I was able to go out and enjoy a meal at a restaurant, something that I hadn’t done in over 5 years.  The depression I had about never being able to feel better also disappeared.   Today, I am feeling better than I have in years and am so grateful to be able to enjoy SO MANY foods now.

{I have been suffering with anxiety and depression for the last few years.  I tried to address these issues with medication and counseling but couldn’t find the relief I needed.  I have been working with Laura for the last 4 months focusing on a more holistic approach.  I finally feel I’m moving in the right direction.  Laura identified what dietary changes and nutritional supports I needed to give my body the nourishment it needed to help me feel better.  These changes have made a huge difference! I am feeling so much brighter , happier and calm than I have felt in years.

{My name is Korrine, I am 22 and I have been a client of Laura’s for over 2 years now. Having her guidance and support has been a blessing I never knew I needed. I began realizing I had digestive problems around my senior year of high school. I experienced severe stomach cramps and discomfort, constantly having to use the bathroom, and I was in a lot of distress. My mom, who has been such a support for me these last few years, and I did the best we could and reached out to doctors and specialists. I was tested for celiac disease, lactose intolerance, had an ultrasound on my ovaries, gave urine and blood multiple times, had my gallbladder tested, had an endoscopy, and a colonoscopy. None of these tests gave me answers on what was happening with my body. I started having doctors question my pain and my stomach problems because none of the tests brought any conclusive results, and I felt defeated. After having to take a semester off from college because of my digestive health, my mom and I were recommended to At Home With Wellness. Laura had reaffirmed me that the stomach problems and pain I was experiencing were real, and I knew from the first time I met with her that she valued my experiences, listened to me and was ready to work with me on healing my gut and digestive issues. Before I began working with Laura, I experienced pain with anything I ate, at one point in college I was eating one granola bar a day because I was in excruciating discomfort, and eating was not worth it for me. I now have the ability to eat more freely.  I enjoy a wide range of meats, vegetables, fruits, and carbs that I can choose from and eat without any repercussions. It is so nice to simply be able to share a meal with my family, or go out and grab something to eat. These are things in life that I had taken for granted. More recently, I have been able to eat with intention (being present and listening to my body), and be fully satisfied with the food I am putting in my body. Laura not only has guided me in my physical health, but also helping me mentally with the stress and anxiety my digestive issues brought me. Through her practice, I have learned different techniques such as tapping, and developed a gratitude practice.  Both of these have amplified my healing. Every day, I am working on trying new foods and seeing how they sit with me. Every day ,my digestive health gets a little bit better.  It is something I am constantly working on as it does not change overnight and this is why I refer to it as a journey. I am now enjoying the A.R.T. Allergy Release Technique protocol that Laura offers and am excited to continue my journey to get to TOTAL food freedom.   Healing your body takes time and dedication, but it is a journey worth taking.

{I am so grateful that I can enjoy peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes without all the inflammation and pain in my joints.

{A.R.T. has been a beautiful process for me, of trusting, rewiring & healing.  I had many sensitivities when starting the process, quite a list of environmental & food triggers.  My chronic stuffy nose & throat clearing in the morning has disappeared. I am now able to eat many things (garlic, almonds, quinoa, corn, rice, eggs, einkorn wheat…the list is extensive!!) that would trigger stuffiness and fullness in my ears in the past.  This process is easy to implement and I have regained so much! I am full of gratitude!!

{I cannot put into words how A.R.T. has changed my life!  It has given me the ability to eat freely.  This new found freedom has taken the anxiety away from social gatherings.  Before A.R.T. I would worry about these situations, now I look forward to them! I would recommend taking part in this process, it is worth the commitment!  Laura has a calming presence and the time spent with her is precious.

{The timing of being an A.R.T Allergy Release Technique test client could not have been better. Going from being able to tell if a cat had been in an area just by getting watery eyes and runny nose to being able to stay comfortable at my girlfriends house with out having to take “a pill” changed my life interactions.  Furthermore, not having my life interrupted by the yearly “expected” seasonal allergies, has improved my quality of life drastically.  30 minutes a week for a lifetime of change is a very easy decision. Would recommend working with Laura for allergy support 1000 times out of 1000!
