Review from Abby R.
Toronto, ON
10/14/2009 3 Check-ins Here
The concept of Helga was initially introduced to me by a former colleague:
"I had walking pneumonia for 3 years before I saw Helga, and within 6 months I was totally fine."
This was coming from a woman who reportedly had been sick for 3 days in the past 5 years - working at a disease filled college. I took her advice to heart since I had literally been sick from June of 2008 to about February 2009. I had actually spent time lying on my office floor trying to get myself medication but unable to move. I was definitely going to see Helga!
When I hobbled into Helga's office it was not pretty. Not only had I been various levels of sick for months, not only did I have the worst reaction imaginable to antibiotics a short month before, but only 2 days before my visit I fell under my moped speeding down a highway in Cuba. It hurt. A lot. In short, I was a hot mess. It felt like it was never going to end.
Right from the start Helga was amazing. First, I was about 80% better the following day from her treatment. I could walk, do stairs, and sit much more comfortably. She addressed all of my concerns and treated me with a holistic approach which included homeopathy, chiropractic, naturopathy, and energy healing. She helped me re-build my sorry-ass immune system, and when she felt stuck on my energy levels, she got a traditional chinese doctor on board for acupuncture and herbs.
As I got better and more stable, I saw her less frequently (every 6-8 weeks). At this point I prefer to see her once a month due to my current health needs. She is sweet, kind, caring, non-judgmental (for when you don't take your remedies) and extremely well-versed in her field. She will pretty much help you do anything, right down to finding a GP if you don't have one. Additionally, she will spend as much time as needed with you, which is a wonderful change from our normal medical experiences. As a result, expect to sometimes wait an hour in the waiting room :( (bring a book and a latte).
Overall, Helga changed my life. I trust her above and beyond any doctor, and I pretty much will go to her before I turn to traditional medicine. The great thing is that Helga takes a team approach and would be happy to work with anyone on your health team, whether that be your Chinese doctor, or your run of the mill GP.
I really can't say enough about her!
