MEET DR. FELTY (CC)
Her Healing Story
Dr. Felty became a doctor of naturopathic medicine because of her horrible experience as a patient. She has been on a self healing journey to prove that her so called incurable chronic illness can be curable. She has succeeded after 19 years of suffering and learning how to heal naturally. She knows what it is like to be sick and search for solutions to only find yourself at a dead end. She was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease at 14 years old. She was told to take 20 prescription pills a day and was urged to surgically remove her colon. She was never advised on how to heal her body and developed numerous side effects from the medications. Through the grace of god and the universe, she has met several people in her life who began to teach her how to heal her symptoms slowly. Within one month of changin her diet, her severe and debilitating symptoms vanished. This lit a fire in her to do everything she could to heal herself. She has learned how to heal her body, free her mind from disease, and release trauma that started it all. She understands the power of lifestyle habits, connection with nature, mindset, supplementation, and nutrition. She also understands that childhood trauma gets stored in the nervous system and if we do not release it, we will develop symptoms. She is here for you, not as a doctor, but as your sister and guide to optimal health and self healing.
