“Magical Healer, Magical Mandi” Thank you for this beautiful testimonial!

by

The main reason I went to see Mandi was for ringing in my ears. With a little time and patience and following the nutrient regime she gave me, Mandi’s treatments have continued to really work and help me. Mandi’s energy work and healing and the mud packing technique she uses really have resulted in less ringing in my ears! And Mandi has helped me to gain more confidence. I told Mandi I had TMJ and jaw issues, and she has helped me so much with this as well. She uses a mud packing inside of my mouth.

The other wonderful thing about Mandi is that she really cares about you because she wants you to feel better than ever! Not only have I found a caring friend in Mandi who looks after me, I have found a healthy healer in magical Mandi who does wonderful things to ensure that I feel better and better. Thank you!

A Beautiful Journey Together! An Amazing Testimonial. Blessed and Grateful!

Thinking back to the beginning is crazy. And it’s exciting to reflect on all the progress I’ve made! Thank you Mandi for playing such an instrumental role!

When I first came to Mandi over 2 years ago, I was fully bought into my diagnosis of fibromyalgia, thinking that I needed prescription drugs to manage what would be a chronic, lifelong relationship with pain. I also suffered from years of self-worth and body image issues. Mandi helped me tap into the intuition and wisdom of my own body to get nutritionally balanced (afternoon energy slumps at work are a thing of the past), significantly reduce my pain (I’ve discarded the life-long pain sentence I’d been given by doctors), and wean off of all prescription drugs (which I’d been told were required in order for me to get deep sleep). Just as important was her help with working through longstanding emotional hang-ups to a place of self-love, self-worth, and self-confidence. In addition to feeling lighter in the world, this progress enabled me to get pregnant after a long time of trying, have a comfortable, supported and transformative pregnancy, and to become a strong mother to a truly exceptional baby.  Mandi’s caring, healing spirit and intuitive gifts coupled with extensive holistic knowledge and approaches are truly unique, as is her dedication to helping her clients thrive, physically and emotionally.

New testimonials are my greatest gifts! Grateful to help so many beautiful and brave souls. Check out this new testimonial I just received.

Mandi, you were a great help to me when I was not feeling well from the
withdraw symptoms I had for over a year. I was not aware that
withdrawing from a prescription drug (Klonopin prescribed to me for
RLS) could have such an effect on my health.  My former doctor was no
help to me and should have never prescribed such a drug.
Mandi helped me immensely to gain my heath, energy, and strength back.
I have been feeling very good over the past year or so.
This year I expanded my garden and have been growing more food. I think this has helped me to
continue with my healthy habits and to sustain balance and health in my body.
I have been juicing with the fresh fruits and vegetables from my garden for almost no cost and continuing
to follow the healthy path that Mandi helped me get on.
Thank you for all the help you provided to me.
Your knowledge along with your caring manner helped me back to health.

Thank you Mandi!

Thank you Mandi!  You are the answer to my prayers.  You are a breath of fresh air in my life.  You’re energy rubs off on me and always gives me the lift that I need. To be honest, I could never put into words how I feel about what you have done for me and the miracle of you.

I have been to many holistic doctors in the past but none can compare to Mandi’s passion, dedication and knowledge.  Her mission is to help people get healthy by making herself available through appointments, emails, phone calls and texting 7 days a week.  Again, this is something I was not used to with other holistic doctors.

After years of chronic fatigue and feeling bad, Mandi was able to quickly identify my issues.  She has helped balance my hormones and get rid of parasites and infections that have haunted me for so many years  through nutritional support catered to my body’s specific needs, mud-packing, castor oil packs and addressing the emotional connection through ERT and affirmative work.

I can honestly say that I feel better today than I have felt in many, many years.

I continue to see Mandi periodically when an issue arises or to just stay on track.

I look forward to a bright, healthy future thanks to Mandi.

beforeThis week marks the one year anniversary of the day my husband collapsed. He lay on the floor, unable to move. After many tests and medications, the doctors recommended an implant to regulate his spinal fluid pressure. We had nothing to lose. My husband couldn’t standup or walk. Conversations with him were like talking to a child. His short tem memory was gone. He got the implant. His dizziness was worse, not better. His memory did not improve. He knew something was
n’t right but only got frustrated because words would not even come to mind.The modern medicalr system wanted to keep him in a nursing home and overmedicated. He was not getting better. He is only 63 years old. He didn’t want to be shut away in a home for the rest of his life.
 
afterI was very lucky the day a friend recommended Mandi Babke to me. I knew since traditional medicine had failed my husband, I needed to try a holistic approach. Though it is not covered by healthcare plans, it was worth every penny to get my husband back. Mandi was the right person for the job. My husband has all his functions back. He can walk without any assistance. His cognition skills are actually better than before the
incident. He can express himself without any problems. His confidence is back. Today, he is a software engineer and is back at work. Mandi is a miracle worker in my book.
 
Sincerely,

I started consulting with Mandi in May 2013

by

I started consulting with Mandi in May 2013. My husband and I had just moved to Pittsburgh, and I was ready for a new start and some new health in my life. I had struggled with digestive issues all of my life, and more recently had bouts of vertigo with no identifiable cause.

These issues were affecting my daily life as well as my ability to participate in a wonderful yoga class. Thankfully, the insightful yoga instructor personally recommended Mandi as a fabulous holistic nutritionist. I had already worked with a holistic nutritionist in our home town, so I was expecting more of the same level of information and problem-solving. Wow, was I wrong!

Mandi, this dynamic, friendly woman, enthusiastically greeted me at the door, ready to get to work and confident that she could help me with all my physical complaints!

And she was right!

Through the process, Mandi uses your own body to read where your body needs support.  I now know that my body always knows exactly what it needs. I also trust Mandi’s remarkable intuition. She has an incredible gift of combining her vast amount of nutritional information with an innate sense of what will work best for a physical issue.

This information was invaluable, because no one had ever made these medical connections for me. In my case, it turns out I was blaming my stomach for all the problems, when in reality, it was my gallbladder and liver that needed detoxing and cleansing. The vertigo issues were partially caused by my lack of minerals. Natural help for my sinus congestion also helped the vertigo. I had been to specialists for both issues, and this was the first time I had any real relief.

That help alone was such a joy to me. What I also consider as crucial to my healing was the supportive emotional work as well. For example, Mandi pointed out that the gallbladder stores the fear you carry in your body. Just by recognizing that, and practicing very specific daily affirmations, I made some huge strides in my overall emotional and physical health.

So now if my gallbladder needs some support, I start taking the appropriate nutrients and  I also do a quick check to notice what is going on in my life that might be making me feel more anxious or angry.

This synergistic approach has been such a wonderful part of my life this past year. It is overwhelming proof to me that one has to address all levels to get to real health.

I needed frequent visits at the beginning of this process, and felt a little overwhelmed that there were so many needed nutrients. I really wanted to be free of my symptoms, and so I followed my regime faithfully. I recognized that I had accumulated a lot of distress in my body over almost 60 years of ‘unaware’ living. It wasn’t going to be corrected in a few weeks with a few doses.

Now I see Mandi approximately once a month for a ‘tune-up’, or if anything has flared up that needs attention. After so many months, Mandi knows how my body reacts to both the nutrients and the daily stressors. I really appreciate her willingness to help me over the phone as a stop-gap measure if something critical has come up. I just make an appointment as soon as possible, and we address the issue more fully then.

I am grateful for the gift of Mandi in my life. I feel very supported and strong, and am blessed to be able to keep learning and growing with her!

I found Mandi and began seeing her for general wellness and because I have had many complications with scar tissue from surgery and bowel issues. She is the only one that helped me out. I continue to use her services, she is invaluable in my health care. She really gives 100%, and is very knowledgeable.
