what our patients say

I can’t express enough how grateful my family and I are for Izzi. She’s more than just a natural health practitioner—she’s a true healer in every sense of the word. Through some of the most critical health challenges we’ve ever faced, Izzi has been a steady, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable presence. Her support quite literally helped us get through moments that felt overwhelming and uncertain.

What makes Izzi stand out is not just her deep understanding of natural practices, but the genuine care she brings to every interaction. She listens, she observes, and she tailors her guidance to what each person really needs—body, mind, and spirit. The natural remedies and holistic support she offered made a real difference in our family’s healing journey, and we continue to feel the benefits every day.

Izzi isn’t just good at what she does—she lives it. Her intuition, patience, and unwavering dedication are rare and so deeply appreciated. If you ever find yourself in need of true, heartfelt support and healing, I couldn’t recommend Izzi more. She’s a gift to anyone lucky enough to know her.

Terra K.

Our family found Izzi when we were desperate for help with our son’s allergies, having exhausted other traditional options. Izzi’s expertise and whole body approach, helped us determine the root cause of his inflammatory responses and felt like a literal life boat! We’ve been able to adjust his diet and support his body where/when needed and seen amazing changes! Izzi has since provided care for our whole family over the last several years. Hormone imbalances, migraines, digestive issues, mental health support, the list is endless! On some of our darkest days Izzi has been a compassionate and soft place to land, caring for us body, soul and spirit. If you’ve tried other things and not seen success, chances are, you just need to see Izzi.

Izzi is a great resource for holistic healthcare and nutrition response testing! She is the perfect blend of knowledgeable and compassionate, being able to target true causes of symptoms to help resolve them quickly and also truly listen to you and make you feel heard. Izzi’s practice and advice has helped me significantly through various healthcare needs I’ve had over the years. I specifically have appreciated her expertise during my pregnancy and postpartum periods when I could truly see Izzi’s passion for my whole family’s health shine through!

I’d encourage anyone who is curious about a more holistic approach to healthcare to give it a try and visit Izzi at The Haven!

Amanda H.

I have been working with Izzi for a while now, and the significant changes my body has gone through is awesome! After my first child, my body started having allergic reactions out of nowhere. I had talked to doctors, done lab work, you name it. Through the grace of God I started seeing Izzi and she found that I was gluten and soy intolerant. After clearing that up, she has helped me level my hormones out and work significantly on my endocrine and autonomic system! I take my children to see her too and she is so sweet to them. Not only does she listen and provide answers, she cares most of all about your health and family! I am so grateful for everything Izzi has done.

Kelly G.

My journey with Izzi has been nothing short of transformative. Her holistic approach to health has opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of my body and mind. I appreciate how she listens deeply and tailors natural treatments to my body to take charge of my health. Izzi fosters a warm and inviting environment where healing thrives. I’m excited to continue this journey, not just to wellness, but towards a more vibrant and fulfilling life! Thank you, Izzi, for guiding me on this incredible path! 💖

Megan M.
Izzi loves and cares for people with a heart like Jesus. She works with integrity & determination to get to the root issue. She has helped my family to thrive and live with our best health. She is a blessing to all who have the opportunity to work with her!
Veronica L.

Izzi is very knowledgeable, as she looks at the whole body and digs in deep for the root cause. I appreciate her kind and compassionate spirit and her ability to see you, as a person, not a number or a patient. She finds the reason for your symptoms and treats that, not just the symptoms.
I highly recommend her!!!!

If you’ve been to The Haven.. you’ve probably If you’ve been to The Haven.. you’ve probably been through a lot in your health journey. Let’s stop for just a moment.. and lift you up…

God of mercy and comfort,
I lift up the person reading this to You,
Asking for Your healing hand to rest upon them.
You are the source of all life and restoration—
Bring peace to their mind, strength to their body,
And hope to their heart.

Calm every fear, ease every pain,
And surround them with Your presence.
Guide the hands of those who care for them,
And bless each treatment with Your divine wisdom.

Let this be a time not just of recovery,
But of renewal—body, mind, and spirit.
And whether healing comes swiftly or slowly,
May they feel deeply loved and never alone.

Amen.
I’m in the trenches with you, moms 🤍 your lit I’m in the trenches with you, moms 🤍 your littles are always welcome at The Haven. You are doing hard holy work. I see you.

🌱 Root Cause Treatment ✔️Focus: Identifies 🌱 Root Cause Treatment
	✔️Focus: Identifies and addresses the underlying reason for a problem.
	✔️Goal: Eliminate the source so the issue doesn’t return.
	✔️Example: Treating high blood pressure by changing diet, reducing stress, and addressing hormonal imbalances.
🧠 Think of this as pulling a weed out by the roots so it doesn’t grow back.

🌡️ Symptom Treatment
	✔️Focus: Alleviates the visible effects of a problem.
	✔️Goal: Provide quick relief or short-term management.
	✔️Example: Taking painkillers for headaches without addressing chronic dehydration or eye strain.

🩹 This is like putting a band-aid on a wound without treating the infection underneath.

🔁 Why the Difference Matters:
	✔️Symptom treatment can offer temporary relief, but the problem often comes back—or worsens.
	✔️Root cause treatment may take longer and more effort but leads to lasting solutions.

In most cases, a combination of both is useful: symptom treatment for short-term comfort, and root cause treatment for long-term healing or success.
